What was the case on the day Iran attacked the 3 civilian vessels transiting the Strait? What was the case the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that?
How many days of relative peace did we have? Had the US not lifted its blockade? Had the US not allowed Iran to trade it’s oil? Was the Strait not in relative peace and ships transiting smoothly? In that instance, it was not the US but Iran which decided to violate the MoU. And dude, for what? Was it not in Iran’s interest to continue with the MoU, turning it into an agreement vetted by the UNSC through which Iran could continue to trade its oil unincumbered, utilize the return of its seized assets and funds and return to commerce with the whole world? even the willingness of the US to discuss the possibility of reconstruction of Iran was a positive incentive.
