Grim verdict as ex-GOP operative says US is on a 'raft ride down the sewer river' of Trump

A former GOP operative argued President Donald Trump is drowning in his own failure in a video on Monday.Anti-Trump conservative Steve Schmidt described how Trump's failed Iran war, struggling economy and blunders around the algae-ridden reflecting pool have further damaged the United States. He suggested the next move would be the Trump cabinet meeting inside the Situation Room, and how future generations would view this as a portal into understanding the insanity of this moment.The economy is wrecked. The nation dishonored, the people divided, Schmidt said. Ghislaine Maxwell sitting in minimum security. All of it a function of our national raft ride down the sewer river of Donald Trump's creation. It may not seem like we are all of us, on a boat, together, upon that fetid pool. But trust me. We are, Schmidt said.

Strait of Hormuz presumably ‘closing’ after recent strikes

​Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings says the Strait of Hormuz is likely “closing” after the fresh strikes despite US President Donald Trump’s claim it is staying open. ​“I’m not aware of much shipping going through, and that’s because shipping lines have the discretion to decide for themselves how much risk they want their tankers to take,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host James Morrow. ​“History tells us that the answer is very, very little. ​“If there is a presumption of a threat which comes about, for example, with the Iranians attacking four boats in the last 72 hours or so, you’re not going to have much in the way of big shipping moving through the Strait. ​“I suspect we’re going to be in that kind of situation for some time.”

Iran resumes attacks in Strait of Hormuz after lull, U.S. officials say

Iran's military fired at least two missiles at commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, two U.S. officials tell Axios. Why it matters: The reported attack took place after a one-week agreement between the U.S. and Iran on halting attacks in the strait expired. The resumption of Iranian attacks put the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that was signed less than three weeks ago at risk of unraveling. The U.S. is likely to retaliate with strikes against Iranian targets. Driving the news: The U.K. maritime trade operation said on Monday it has received a report from a tanker that was traveling south near the Omani coast in the strait of Hormuz and was hit by an unknown projectile causing a fire.The U.S. official said another commercial ship was hit by an Iranian missile. Both vessels suffered significant damages, but no casualties, the U.S. official said. State of play: A round of indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran in Doha last week ended without much progress on the issue of the strait of Hormuz.Editor's note: This is a breaking news story.
