Tehran's Revolutionary Guard fired on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday and reimposed its blockade — just one day after Iran said it was reopening the critical waterway. The dramatic reversal has created a great deal of confusion. DW spoke with Middle East expert Simon Mabon, asking him what it might tell us about Iran's strategic calculations at this moment.
