A tiny waterway is giving President Trump a huge headache.

Iran continues to maintain its stranglehold over a tiny elbow of water called the Strait of Hormuz,

connecting oil-rich countries in the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world.

Something we're dealing with. We have been dealing with it and don't need to worry about it. Iran's basically shut the straight down, sending gas prices way up, and the president demanding other countries get involved, too.

President Trump's call for other nations to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz is going unanswered.

We are ready to ensure safe passage through the Straits of Hormuz diplomatically.

However, there will be no military participation.

But in the over two weeks since the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran,

there doesn't seem to be a clear end in sight.

And all the while, the Iranians inside and out the country feel split on what this means for their future.
