Well, President Trump appeared really frustrated this morning as he was telling reporters he believes the ceasefire agreement and that memorandum of understanding that was signed just *** couple of weeks ago with Iran is over, adding he does not want to deal with Iran anymore. And uh So we don’t like him. I don’t like him. And they’re evil people, and it’s the denuclearization of Iran. And we’re going to denuke it. We’re not going to let them because they’re crazy and they can’t have *** nuclear weapon. The president went on to call the Iranian negotiators liars. Now US Central Command shared this video from Tuesday showing forces conducting retaliatory strikes after Iran attacked three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Now this flare up and constant back and forth between the two sides. Raises more questions about the path to end the war. Last month, both sides agreed for Tehran to dilute its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which can be used to build *** nuclear weapon. The agreement gives both sides 60 days to negotiate broader agreements. The renewed strikes creates even more uncertainty towards an end to the fighting. On Tuesday, the The Administration also announced it revoked part of the ceasefire that lifted sanctions, allowing Iran to sell oil on the global market. Negotiations to reach *** final deal were due to begin after the late Supreme Leader’s funeral, but these recent strikes and the president’s new comments this morning are throwing all of this into question at the White House.
