When Donald Trump started the war against Iran on February 28th, he thought it would be over in days.
By blocking the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran proved him wrong and yesterday he signed a ceasefire deal that even many of his supporters call appeasement.

On Thursday, his Secretary of War Pete Hegseth again warned that the bombing could resume, if Iran doesn't comply.
Vice President JD Vance spent the afternoon defending the deal to end a war he was never in favour of. He rebuked Israel, which has criticised the deal, telling them not to alienate the only friend they have. And claimed that millions of barrels of oil have already passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
Forgetting to mention that the Strait was completely open until the war started.
Meanwhile, the Tehran regime is still in charge, its ballistic missile programme still not destroyed and sanctions are set to be lifted.
