I believe everything the U.S. tells me because the U.S. government has never lied

Hilarious. Trump didn't agree to let Iran have control of the strait in a desperate attempt, they just can't find the mines, because if they could, the strait would have been open by now. This is funnier than when Vance tried to dismiss Iran's Lebanon ceasefire condition by suggesting that Iranians can't understand English. Nice to see USA get a taste of Trump's dealmaking skills after trying to tell Ukraine to concede more than they already lost for nothing in return.
