Right, because Trump himself is now saying that the ceasefire is over; oil prices are already rising once again; and, ultimately, the only successful deal he reached with Iran may have been one that let it choose which of its citizens would be deported from the US after seeking asylum here for fear of being imprisoned, tortured, or executed back home. But starting with the war, just to recap, last month, the US and Iran signed a 14-point MOU to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and kick off a sixty-day negotiating period to reach a final deal addressing various other issues — you know, just small stuff, like the fate of Iran’s nuclear program. And the talks to reach this final deal had been due to start after a dayslong funeral now underway for Iran’s former supreme leader — who was assassinated by the US and Israel on the first day of the war. In the meantime, though — despite both sides trading fire and accusing each other of violations — neither side abandoned the ceasefire entirely. And we even saw a modest uptick in traffic through the Strait — although, of course, there have still been far fewer ships passing through than before the war. And the waterway has also continued to be a major source of tension between the two sides. And that’s partly because the MOU only says that Iran won’t charge ships to transit the Strait for sixty days, and it also says Iran will have a role in “future administration and maritime services” in the waterway And so with the middle of the strait considered too dangerous to travel because of the risk of mines laid by Iran’s military, Iran has been demanding that ships pass through on its side. But the US Navy has been helping guide ships through the side closer to Oman — and Iran has accused the US of violating the MOU by trying to open new sea lanes without its permission —————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Jared Paolino, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #Trump #Iran #USA
