5. "Subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz."
Tue Apr 7, 2026, 07:20 PM

In other words, the Strait of Hormuz will be open again, exactly like it was before Trump kicked off his illegal war...started because he claimed Iran's nuclear program posed an immediate threat to the U.S....a threat that had been eliminated by Obama - with the help of China, Russia, France, Germany, Britain and the European Union - years ago.

From MS NOW: "On May 8, 2018, Trump pulled the United States out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the multinational deal to restrict and monitor Iran’s nuclear program that was painstakingly negotiated and finalized in mid-2015, with the help of China, Russia, France, Germany, Britain and the European Union. Trump’s own advisers then, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis, had pleaded with him not to abandon the agreement, arguing that it was keeping Iran’s nuclear ambitions in check. But Trump killed it, claiming that the Iranian regime would quickly come crawling back and give in. 'They are going to want to make a new and lasting deal,' he said. But no new agreement ever materialized."
