CNN/OutFrontCNN star Erin Burnett offered some irrefutable evidence that despite President Donald Trump’s claims, his administration does not have “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a cargo ship navigating the strait on Thursday for the first time since the U.S. and Tehran agreed last week to work toward a peace deal, The Wall Street Journal reported. The vessel was hit by a drone hours after Iran’s paramilitary navy warned ships to only follow routes the regime had sanctioned, undermining Trump’s claims that the strait was fully open in accordance with his memorandum of understanding signed earlier this month.
