More: Iran on Wednesday said it was finalizing an agreement on shipping routes with Oman, a U.S. ally that sits on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying that ships would enter through the strait's northern corridor near the Iranian coast and exit through the southern corridor near the Omani coast.

I read Iran is making demands that must be fulfilled to release the Strait.

They can not be done.

If the US took Iran at their word, we would be fools.

I believe Iran over Trump any day. No question about it. Obama trusted them and they kept their word up until Trump violated the agreement with them. Just sayin

Laura,

"I believe Iran over Trump any day."

Considering the Iranian regime's history, that says far more about your obsession with Trump and your poor judgment than it does about Iran's credibility.

Marijuana can impair judgment and cognitive function, particularly while under its effects.

I don't know whether that explains your reasoning here, but believing Iran simply because the alternative is Trump certainly isn't sound reasoning.
