How valid are US commitments under Trump?
Trump’s agreements appear reversible and unreliable. He quickly reneged on the June 17 US‑Iran MoU—violating Hormuz provisions, revoking oil waivers, and failing to stop Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Even allies like Saudi Arabia were blindsided hours after a nuclear deal. As ex‑Ambassador Freeman said, the world now asks: how can anyone deal with a US that cannot be trusted from one day to the next?

Israel launches organized pogroms against defenseless Palestinian towns
Israeli forces and settler militias are conducting a coordinated campaign of terror across the West Bank—raiding UNRWA facilities, seizing land, and systematically suffocating Palestinian life. Settler attacks have surged 63% this year, with over 4,100 incidents documented. From siege tactics to medical abuse, the goal is clear: make life unbearable until Palestinians leave—all under Washington’s political cover.

Oman understanding does not mean Hormuz reopening:Iran
Iran’s deputy foreign minister has clarified that the recent understanding with Oman does not signal an immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Kazem Gharibabadi stressed the country remains in a state of war, and the waterway is now a national-security issue. The two sides have agreed on a phased framework including a temporary joint corridor and mine-clearing operations.

Trump’s commitments: a record of broken promises
Trump’s June 17 MoU with Iran quickly proved hollow—he violated Hormuz terms, revoked oil waivers, and allowed Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
