I suspect this is just a story, a fable, a fabrication Trump has generated to save face.
He may as readily send a B-1 over Iran with a nuke if he wakes up tomorrow in a bad mood.
Our president is insane.

My understanding is Iran agreed to SOME travel through the Strait coordinated BY Iran only during the Ceasefire.

Iran is also claiming the US agreed to their ten point plan that included lifting sanctions and uranium enrichment.

If true, this is a war we lost. Iran came out ahead of where they were 2 months ago. They came out ahead of where they were under Obama even.

WHY does Iran have to open the Strait for a Ceasefire if:
1. We already won the war.
2. We wiped out their Navy, Air Force, Defences, Mine Layers, and we control the air.
3. We can simply escort ships through the Strait.

Oh...because all these things are Trump lies.

And now the Strait is PARTIALLY open with Iranians deciding who goes through AND they have time to resupply internally/with Russia.

Sometimes a Trump TACO is the best result we can hope for. Especially after Trump fucked up this entire situation by making threats he never had the political support to follow through on.

Except now the Iranians KNOW they won.

So the negotiation will be a nightmare and they will be in a MUCH better position than before the war. We're looking at likely the Strait requiring a toll.

But it's still WAY better than going through with the actual attack. The reprecussions from Iran are terrifying. Oil hitting $200 a barrel would have caused a global recession, possibly depression.
