23:24Now PlayingIran's Foreign minister announced the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz on Friday and on Saturday, the country's top military leadership rescinded that decision. So who is the final decision maker in Iran? And what does that tell us about how any upcoming ceasefire negotiations could proceed? We ask Iran researcher Farzan Sabet from the Geneva Graduate Institute.
Note from the editors:
From 01:00 to 01:12, we show a post by Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The DW logo visible in the post was accidentally inserted during production. We apologize for this mistake.
