Mehdi Hasan: [View all]

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obamaâ€™s 2015 nuclear deal didnâ€™t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent .7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. ðŸ¤·ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
