US-Iran Deal Is Dead, Strikes Resume. Hormuz Set To Close as Oil Reserves Run Low
"The Minsk agreement effectively broke down after eight years. The MOU has broken down after three weeks. Trump did say on Air Force One that Iran is calling him and they want to make a deal badly. Of course, the markets went up on this news. Who Trump is speaking with, you know, who knows? But anyway, that we're back to this game, it seems."
The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran has collapsed after only three weeks, compared to the eight-year duration of the Minsk agreement it was likened to. The hosts argue the U.S. never intended to fulfill the MOU terms beyond securing the Strait of Hormuz, leading Iran to resume attacks on tankers. The U.S. has responded with the largest strikes since April, and both sides are exchanging attacks.
