[U.S. Representative Murphy: The Deal Trump Might Strike Strengthens Iran's Position]
U.S. Representative Murphy said this during an interview with CNN:
"Listen, nobody knows exactly what’s going on. Donald Trump lies every single day—he clearly isn’t telling the truth. But even if we only believe part of Iran’s statement, the fact remains: Trump agreed to hand over control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran. This is extremely outrageous.
If you examine Iran’s National Security Council statement closely, it claims Trump also agreed to: recognize Iran’s right to uranium enrichment, lift all sanctions, and allow Iran to retain its missiles, drones, and nuclear program. We don’t know whether this is true or not. But even if just a portion of the agreement grants Iran control over the strait, the consequences for the entire world could be catastrophic.
What’s shocking is that Trump’s military actions—so far at least—have resulted in Iran gaining control over a critical maritime passage that it did not possess before the war."
Background Explanation
1. The two-week safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, as claimed by Trump, is a key component of the alleged agreement, reportedly to be ensured under coordination by Iran’s armed forces—effectively meaning Iran controls the strait.
2. The U.S. National Security Council stated this would grant Iran a unique economic and geopolitical position, as it would gain control over passage through the strait.
