The United States military yesterday said it fired on a Panama-flagged ship in the Gulf of Oman that attempted to evade the American blockade of Iranian ports. This comes as the Trump administration is emphasizing economic pressure on Iran, and the President insists again the U.S. has control over the Strait of Hormuz despite Iranian attacks there and shipping data that suggests otherwise. The Morning Joe panel discusses why no one appears to have control of the Strait and Johnathan Lemire explains how Trump has been practicing ‘patience.’
