These talks may find turbulence here because just moments ago, our colleague 
Trey Yinst says that a regional intelligence official tells Fox News that quote, "The straight of Hormuse is under full IRGC control and effectively closed at this moment. 
Multiple vessels have been forced to turn around since this morning as they attempted to pass through the straight." 
Trey adds this as well. the IRGC opening fire on at least one vessel as part of the closure policy they declared last night.
