Victoria Nuland: We Never Really Had a Deal with Iran and It‘s Not a Surprise that It‘s Breaking Down

EXCERPT:

NULAND: “I don‘t think that the United States and President Trump ever had a true agreement with Iran. What Iran thinks it got out of this ceasefire was the ability to control the Straits of Hormuz, to exact tolls and other tribute from ships going through it. And when we tried to pass ships on the Omani side or without paying, the Iranians attacked. So, we never really had a deal. And it‘s not a surprise that it‘s breaking down. I think the question is what the president is willing to do to enforce it and to keep the straits open and to set this free navigation standard for the world.”
