Iran US dispute is just heated rhetoric

Tension in the middle east continue to rise but don't expect any major fireworks.  That's the opinion of Lakehead Political Science Expert Laure Paquette.  She says increased naval activity between the US and Iran is a step above sabre rattling considering they both are moving large ships into a narrow area like the Straight of Hormuz.  Paquette says she thinks the two sides will soon take a step back and try to come to a diplomatic resolution to current problems.
