Watch: US blockade of Iranian ports explained in two minutes

A US blockade of Iran's ports has began on Monday after peace talks between the two countries ended without a deal over the weekend.

But what will the blockade do and what are its risks? The BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner explains how it will work and its potential impacts across the globe.
