8,500 stranded in Hormuz after Iran attack halts evacuation

Iran struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, forcing a pause on evacuations of stranded seafarers and demonstrating its continued ability to restrict the critical waterway, despite the agreement reached last week with the United States.

CNN's Becky Anderson speaks with International Maritime Organization secretary-general Arsenio Dominguez about the status of thousands of stranded seafarers in the Strait, and former State Department official Edward Fishman says it will take many years for Iran's leverage over Hormuz to dissipate.
