Trump Dismisses Iran's Withdrawal from US-Iran MoU
There was an agreement between the US and Iran to stop fighting and manage the Strait of Hormuz.
But now, Iran says the US broke the agreement by attacking them, so they are no longer following it.
The US President, Donald Trump, said he doesn't care about Iran's decision.
There have been fights between the two countries, with the US attacking Iranian sites and Iran shooting down a US drone.
The leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, said the US can't be trusted.
Iran is only defending itself and says the US and Israel are committing war crimes by attacking civilian areas.
Iran has withdrawn from the US-Iran MoU, citing US violations of the agreement.
US President Donald Trump dismissed Iran's withdrawal, stating his priority is preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Iran intercepted and destroyed a US MQ-9 drone in Ahvaz, escalating regional hostilities.
US Central Command carried out military strikes against Iranian assets, authorized by President Trump.
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei criticized the US, calling its actions a breach of the agreement and warning of the worthlessness of the American president's signature.
