Iran didn't draw first blood. Trump did and he is absolutely in the wrong regarding this,

What do you mean "first blood"? Iran killed Marines in Lebanon, who were trying to keep the peace, that first blood?
The US lifted sanctions on Iranian oil exports last month after signing the MOU, but re-imposed them on Tuesday after the attack on vessels in the strait of Hormuz.
Qatar has been acting as a mediator in the talks between Washington and Tehran, but its foreign ministry spokesperson, Majed al-Ansari, called it a "serious and explicit violation" of international law and said Qatar would hold Iran fully responsible for the act of aggression.
Iran said on Tuesday that Washington's efforts to open up new routes through the strait constituted a breach of the memorandum of understanding the two parties had signed. Tehran claims the memorandum is specifically worded to leave it, in consultation with Oman, to manage the reopening of the strait with the aim of commercial traffic returning to prewar levels within 30 days.
Experts have said that the vague wording of the MOU has left both sides interpreting the agreement in different ways, with the repeated misunderstandings a continuing threat the ceasefire.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. " Free internet is now being offered to more than 4,000 affordable housing units in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan, which, according to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, builds on a citywide effort to "make sure that every New Yorker has access."
On Monday, officials announced that the city secured $2 million in federal Section 8 funding to provide more than 2,000 apartments with free, high-speed internet. That builds on an existing program overseen by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, in which $3.25 million provided internet to 2,200 apartments in those same neighborhoods.
