If they are charging to pass through the strait Trump looks like a buffoon in my opinion.

Trump said “subject to” opening the stray.

If the strait is not reopened unconditionally Trump needs to start bombing again.

Maybe some Gulf States were OK with this so they could sell their oil?

No one ever knows what goes on behind the scenes. And deals are always made behind the scenes. True negotiations are never done in public with complete transparency.

This was all a show. This allows the remaining regime to feel like they've won.

And it allows Trump to say he set back Iran's military and tech another 10-20 years. When in reality this was yet another weapon's demonstration to sell more weapons to Europe.

People really don't know how deep the MIC hooks are. The MIC gets what it wants.

Trump wants the 2 week reprieve to get as many oil tankers thru the straight as possible so the oil can hit the market. Then he will tell Rute or whatever his name is that the NATO countries better work to keep it open or the US is stepping back from NATO. Gives time to make NATO and the GC countries unite.

This is the real win. The Gulf States fell on the side of the USA. They had to choose between religion or money. They chose money. Big win.

Gulf States are Sunni. They hate Shiites more than they hate us.

Trump will always say whatever the frick he wants, regardless of reality
China and/or Russia and North Korea will have them back up to speed much sooner.
