Closing the Strait of Hormuz was a response to “America’s untrustworthiness,” the head of Iran’s National Security Commission said today.
“The dark track record of America since the beginning of the revolution has proven that untrustworthiness is an inseparable part of Washington’s political doctrine,” said Ebrahim Azizi, adding the strait was closed in response to “the enemy’s new duplicity.”
Azizi also accused Trump of trying to mislead public opinion by creating the “impression of an agreement” through his comments on social media and to reporters.
Trump said Friday that negotiations on the Iran war would continue through the weekend. He also said that the ceasefire with Iran, which expires Wednesday, may not be extended.
“Iran will not be deceived by hollow rhetoric and has a decisive response prepared at strategic chokepoints for any new act of bad faith,” Azizi said.
