The MoU with Iran “was always performance-based and one of the conditions was that Iran cannot terrorise commercial vessels transiting the Strait”, US ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation says.

In an interview with CNN, Matthew Whitaker has said that Iran “should expect” US response to its attacks.

He adds, “President Trump is a peacemaker and he wants a deal with Iran.”

Reiterating Trump’s words, Whitaker has said that Iran is “controlled by a bunch of crazy people”.
