Politics JCPOA Pete hegseth strait of hormuz
Pete Hegseth tried to explain why his Iran deal is better than Obama’s and this reporter’s one line response left him stammering

Translation: same deal as the JCPOA but with American soldiers dead and wounded, Middle East bases in ruins, loss of strategic stockpiles and the world economy in melt down.

I don’t remember the Strait of Hormuz shutting down when Obama did it.

Their “position of strength” required hundreds of billions squandered on an unnecessary war, dead American soldiers, murdered Iranian school kids, global oil shortages and inflation…and the end result still falls short of the one previously achieved via diplomacy and sanctions.

So, Trump tore up the JCPOA, started a war with Iran, got soldiers killed and ended up with the JCPOA?
This is winning? https://t.co/pKUybxPDBx

Same homework, different font… and somehow claiming extra credit.

Trump did this from the weakest position I’ve ever seen the US in. The Strait is closed. Only nations friendly to Iran are moving goods. The president still doesn’t have a deal and Israel is doing all it can to undermine any agreement. https://t.co/RDKuVNdns1

Yes. You sacrificed 14 American soldiers, thousands of Iranian civilians, and billions of tax dollars to get something Iran was happy to give you before

Obama’s agreement was actually negotiated through strength. Trump’s attempts reek of desperation. https://t.co/X2LiZpzsDH
