In perhaps the least surprising news ever, Iran is breaking the promises it made in the memorandum of understanding.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship Thursday in the Strait of Hormuz, according to two senior U.S. officials, testing the deal signed last week by the U.S. and Iran to end the fighting and reopen the vital shipping lane.
The attack, which damaged the ship’s bridge but left no casualties, according to U.K. Maritime Trade Operations, took place near the coast of Oman hours after the Iranian paramilitary’s navy warned ships not to use routes through the waterway that the regime hadn’t sanctioned.
When you write that the memorandum of understanding is a terrible deal, you get told by fans of this administration that you’re rushing to judgment, that it is far too early to come to that conclusion, and, just wait, the president and vice president know what they are doing and everything will work out just fine.
No, the deal is not getting better with time.
