"Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!"
"The ceasefire has so far had minimal impact on the movement of hundreds of vessels that have been stuck in the region since the start of the war in late February."
"Kuwait's foreign ministry condemned 'the heinous attacks' launched by Iran and its proxies, adding that they undermined the ceasefire agreement."
"High-level talks between the U.S. and Iran are slated to start on Saturday in Islamabad, with the mediation of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif."
President Trump criticized Iran for not adhering to a ceasefire agreement that allowed oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire has had little effect on the movement of vessels, with only 7% of normal traffic restored. Iranian officials closed the strait, citing Israeli airstrikes as a violation. Continued Israeli strikes and attacks by Hezbollah further jeopardize the truce. High-level talks between the U.S. and Iran are scheduled, with Pakistan mediating, while Israel and Lebanon are set to begin direct negotiations next week.
