ERUSALEM, Israel – Questions are growing about President Trump’s newly announced agreement with Iran. While the White House claims the deal will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, critics are concerned about what exactly is contained in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Lawmakers are pressing for more details on the M.O.U. President Trump announced the strategic Hormuz waterway will reopen, and speaking alongside the president of the United Arab Emirates, he praised the Gulf ally and predicted a brighter future for the region, while promising the Strait of Hormuz would be fully operational by Friday. “This country was very, very, a very powerful ally, and good things are happening. The ships are starting to move now. We’re going to have it fully open by Friday,” Trump declared.
