> The US just forced Iran to stop launching missiles at ships in the Straight in exchange for halting bombing operations.
Interesting choice of words.
Let's try this again: the US implored for a ceasefire in exchange for Iran to stop destroying the economic base of US vassal states in the region and allow ships to go through the strait to mitigate the impending economic disaster this will have on the US economy.
Which one explains Trump abandoning all original demands regarding regime change and even threats to destroy civilian infrastructure?
US -> Stop launching missiles by 8PM ET for two weeks or we'll bomb you severely.
Iran -> Ok we will agree to that.
The situation in the Straight already occurred. The US doesn't give a hoot about the short term economic base of these vassal states.

The one I wrote does.
