@
No mention of Israel continuing to throw bombs around disregarding the MOU, of course Iran is not going to take the mousy MOU seriously
@
The ambassador 's propaganda .
@
Conversation goes nowhere ...
@

Had Trump not initiated an attack on Iran in the first place, the issue of managing the Strait of Hormuz would never have arisen.
@
This ambassador analyst doesn't mention that the strait was open prior to the war.
