"Iran very much continues to talk to the United States of America and express that they want to make a deal with us because they are suffering devastating blows on behalf of our United States military," says @PressSec. "In the Memorandum of Understanding that they signed, they were not to fire on commercial vessels moving through the Strait of Hormuz. And unfortunately, they have made the tragic decision—for them—to do that. @POTUS is not going to sit by and allow these active acts of terrorism to take place in the Strait without ensuring Iran pays consequences for that."
