A big sigh of relief for the world as Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices have fallen, and share prices have jumped. But is the opening of the waterway really a turning point? We discuss this with Olga Khakova, an energy security specialist. We also discuss the political implications with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Senior Iran Program Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a neoconservative think tank.
