Iran continues to claim they’re negotiating in good faith for peace on one hand, then with the other, they’re constantly bombing both friend and foe alike and interfering with crucial international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
In other words, they’re still acting as they have been continuously for 47 years since the despotic mullahs took over.
On Monday and Tuesday, they were at it again, and reportedly fired at least two missiles at commercial vessels in the Strait — and President Donald Trump is not pleased. Some reports say that two tankers were hit, but another says there were three in total.
The Trump administration quickly reacted with consequences:

TRUMP FAFO playing out overseas! He will NOT let them get away with MoU violations again 🔥
The alleged provocations occurred even as Trump gave the Islamic Republic "a week off" to mourn at slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s endless funeral.
The Treasury Department acted decisively:
The Treasury Department is revoking the license that allows the sale of Iranian oil, a U.S. official told CNBC Tuesday.
The decision to revoke the authorization comes after several tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz.
“As President Trump and the administration have repeatedly affirmed, the MOU in effect with Iran is entirely performance-based,” the official said.
“Iran will only reap benefits if they exhibit good behavior,” they said. “Iran’s actions in the Strait were wholly unacceptable to the United States and will be met with consequences.”
MASSIVE 🔴

Playing With Fire: Iran Hits Another Commercial Vessel in the Strait, US Promptly Unloads Bombs
Iran admitted to one of the strikes and was unapologetic:
A U.S. official confirmed one ship hit Monday as the Al Rekayyat, a Qatari liquified natural gas carrier. Iran acknowledged the attack, with state media saying the tanker ignored "repeated warnings" and continued to transit along the southern route of the strait near Oman with U.S. assistance.
A second vessel, the Saudi-flagged crude tanker Wedyan, also sustained damage near the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official confirmed. The cause of the damage was not immediately clear, and Fox News Digital has reached out to the vessel's operator, Bahri, and the Saudi Embassy in Washington for comment.
It’s unclear if this latest salvo by Iran will derail negotiations over the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), but it’s not a good sign. The slippery regime keeps showing over and over that they simply cannot be trusted.
Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
