#Trump admin sows “confusion” as it tries to reopen #StraitOfHormuz [they just have no idea what they’re doing]

#Trump posted on social media that the war with #Iran could soon end & #oil & natural #gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that Trump did not detail.
“If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote.

completely unsurprising:
#Trump says he's 'not satisfied' with #Iran's newest peace plan
“They want to make a deal, I’m not satisfied with it, so we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters Friday at the White House.
Asked about what he sees as the proposal’s shortcomings, Trump said, “They’re asking for things I can’t agree to.”
