The U.S. violated a signed memorandum by attacking Iran and ignoring the clause giving Iran authority over Strait of Hormuz passage arrangements. Aggression without good faith doesn't produce compliance — it produces consequences. The strait opens on Iranian terms, not under American pressure, and breaking agreements only proves why trust was never the foundation to begin with.
Iran's attacks on commercial shipping and civilian crews in the Strait of Hormuz demanded a military response, and U.S. Central Command delivered. Letting a hostile regime dictate terms on a vital international waterway is a strategic failure, and any adviser unwilling to take decisive action to end that threat has no place at the table. The moment calls for resolve, not restraint.
