The SCOTUS ruled the money did not belong to the terrorists Obama took it upon himself without authorization to give the money to.

Iran says Strait of Hormuz is closed again as vessels attempting to cross come under fire​

Iran said Saturday that it has reimposed the closure of the Strait of Hormuz less than a day after reopening it to shipping traffic, but President Donald Trump warned that Tehran could not blackmail the U.S. by shutting the waterway.

The strait is closed until the U.S. blockade is lifted, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard navy said, warning that “no vessel should make any movement from its anchorage in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, and approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be considered as cooperation with the enemy” and be targeted.

They did not enrich any uranium to "nuclear levels" during the year after Trump withdrew. They were still under IAEA inspection, that certified they remained in compliance.

After giving Trump a year to make a "bigger and better deal", they withdrew, and at that point, were no longer being monitored.

They were never monitored and Obamas deal was laughable.an made an ass out of him

"These aren't the drones you're looking for."

Two gunboats from the Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a tanker transiting the strait, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. It reported the tanker and crew as safe, without identifying the vessel or its destination. Shipping sources told Reuters at least two other vessels reported coming under fire while trying to transit the waterway.

In Mumbai, India summoned Iran’s ambassador after an Indian-flagged vessel carrying ⁠crude oil was attacked while trying to cross the strait, Reuters reported.

The closing of the waterway comes after Iran declared on Friday that the strait is open to commercial ships during a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, but confusion quickly emerged about whether the sea lane was really open without conditions.

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again; 2 ships report attacks while trying to cross​

Iran’s military announced Saturday that it was closing the Strait of Hormuz, citing a continued American blockade, leaving the status of access to a vital waterway unclear a day after President Donald Trump and the country declared it open. Two ships reported attacks while attempting to cross the strait, underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire amid diplomatic efforts to end the war.

Trump told reporters Saturday that the United States remained engaged in “very good conversations” with Iran and acknowledged that Tehran “wanted to close up the strait again.”

Iran reverses course on reopening Strait of Hormuz, signals warning to US

The Iranian regime said the Strait of Hormuz is under "full IRGC control," reversing course on reopening the strategic waterway crucial to global oil supply.

Well, you should try taking a look at any major news service anywhere. They are all reporting Iran has closed the Strait again.

What did they use to close the strait?

Bad language?

 

[Hafar1014]

However, signed but unratified treaties may create a legal obligation to refrain from acts that defeat the treaty's purpose, and non-binding instruments (like declarations) can create political commitments or reflect customary law

Executive Agreements: In the US, the president may enter into agreements that do not require Senate ratification, which can be legally binding under international law,

IT was bad deal it dont work and showed how appeasing and trying to bribe Iran was total failure by Obama

Gun boats fired at a couple of tankers. Do you read anything? Two gunboats from the Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a tanker transiting the strait, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.

I don't think it's lost on Iran that closing the Strait if it is attacked again could act as a deterrent almost equal to possessing a nuclear bomb.

Iran rebuffs Trump’s plan for new round of peace talks, state media reports
Iran on Sunday denied it would participate in new peace talks with the United States, its state news agency reported on Sunday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said its negotiators would head to Pakistan on Monday for a second round of peace talks with Iran.

Iran’s official IRNA news agency cited no specific source in its report that Iran had rejected the talks.

“Iran stated that its absence from the second round of talks stems from what it called Washington’s ‌excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, and the ongoing naval blockade, which it considers a breach ⁠of the ceasefire,” IRNA wrote.

Earlier Sunday, Trump stated his representatives were heading for Pakistan to resume peace talks with Iranian negotiators on Monday, after an initial round of face-to-face talks last weekend concluded without an agreement to end hostilities.

“My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday.

Reagan likely did not return money that was tied up in an unresolved court case. What if Reagan had decided to distribute the money among the victims of Iranian terrorists without the court's opinion? Well, he did not presume to take it on himself to decide the court case himself instead of allowing the courts to finish their job.

Oh Iran must have given it right back in that case and said sorry right?

Wonder when the arrest for treason will start ? I mean how much more evidence does the crazies need to understand that we've had traitors in our midst, and they were attempting to fundamentally transform this nation into something totally unrecognizable, and they were totally destroying it in spirit and in soul.

Right now, and too this very day, they have single handedly destroyed the civil rights movements original intent, and they have reignited a war between the races on purpose for self serving political reasons.

And how we as an American citizenry aren't together on recognizing the enemies within the gates is simply an amazing thing.
