Sen. Chris Murphy Says Trump ‘Lies Every Single Day,’ Agrees to Give Iran Control of the Strait of Hormuz

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “I mean, listen, who knows what’s going on? Donald Trump lies every single day. Clearly, he’s not telling the truth. But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. That is extraordinary. If you go deeper into the statement from the Iranian National Security Council, they claim that Trump has also agreed to Iran’s right to enrichment, to suspend all sanctions against Iran, and to allow Iran to keep their missile program, their drone program, and their nuclear program. Now, who knows if any of that is true. But if, at the very least, this agreement gives Iran the right to control the Strait, that is cataclysmic for the world, and it is just stunning that that’s where we have gotten to, that Donald Trump took a military action that has, apparently, at least for the time being, given Iran control over a critical waterway that they did not have control over before the war began. So, it just doesn’t sound like there’s actually an agreement, because what Trump is saying is totally different than what the Iranians are saying. But if Iran has the strait permanently now, what an error, what a miscalculation this entire endeavor was.”
