Once again, it's been a crazy weekend for the US-Iran war as it looked (looks?) like the whole thing could fall apart. First, the opening of the Strait on Friday turned out to be a false start at best as Iran reversed it after the US refused to lift its blockade. Then, Iran fired on some ships that were attempting the transit. Today, Trump is back to threatening to blow everything up. He wrote on Truth Social: But if you sift out all the rhetoric here, there is one important piece of news and its "My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will
be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations". That's the first in-person meeting since last weekend when Vance stormed out. Amidst all this, it's not really clear who is in charge in Iran as there are leaks on every negotiating front and then some hawk or IRGC official claims it's fake news.
