Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, June 30, 2026

The Wall Street Journal editorial board lambasted President Donald Trump over his efforts to secure a durable peace deal with Iran. U.S. and Iranian officials have agreed to halt their attacks on one another and meet Tuesday to talk out their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, and the conservative newspaper's editors bashed the 80-year-old president for failing to keep the crucial waterway open " as it had been before he launched the war on Feb. 28. "The best selling point for President Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran was that at least it opened the Strait of Hormuz," the board wrote. "Well, now the regime is trying to nullify those terms by using force against commercial vessels, Gulf states and U.S. bases. All of this violates the deal and calls into question why Mr. Trump signed it."

"The editorial board wondered why Trump was willing to give Iran anything without an assurance that the strait would remain free and open."
