David Ignatius: The United States Started a War that Led to the Closure of the Strait of Hormuz

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: “What was striking about his comments yesterday was it was close to declaring victory. I've won. We've achieved regime change. We've achieved our nuclear goals. Both of those claims are pretty suspect. But I think most important saying we don't require a deal at a negotiating table and basically we're going to leave to others the question of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. That's the part that's really, I think, going to be difficult for President Trump and the rest of the world. The rest of the world does need to step up and take responsibility. But the idea that that's for you to worry about, that the United States started a war that led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and then we walk away and say, that's your problem, France and China, not ours, that will rub people the wrong way.”
