Obama: Iran now has veto power in the Strait of Hormuz.
Former US President Barack Obama: Trump decided to start an unnecessary war, a war that no one wanted and no one voted for. Iran didn't have a nuclear bomb because I made a deal that everyone recognized prevented them from getting a nuclear weapon and I didn't have to fire a missile for it. He left the agreement, he started this war. Seven months later, six months after he declared victory, what happened in this war? Our allies and our bases have been targeted, Americans have been killed, hundreds of Americans have been injured, we have exhausted our missile reserves, and Iran now has veto power in the Strait of Hormuz, the route through which oil enters the world market. This is the reason for the increase in oil prices. No one doubts that. This is the reason for the increase in diesel prices. This is the reason for the price increase of almost everything.
