And this changes EVERYTHING about the strait.
🚨 IRAN JUST ENDED ALL NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE US AND VOWED TO COMPLETELY BLOCK THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THIS ISN'T A THREAT. THIS IS A CLOSURE SIGNAL.
Iranian negotiators halted all message exchanges through Pakistani mediators on June 1. The trigger: Israeli strikes in Lebanon that Iran says violated the ceasefire. Lebanon withdrawal was a stated precondition for any final deal. The precondition is gone. So is the deal.
Let that sink in.
THE PROBLEM:
→ The deal was 95% complete before it collapsed in hours
→ Iran and the Resistance Front have now placed Hormuz closure on their formal agenda
→ Bab el-Mandeb — a second chokepoint — added as an additional pressure lever
→ Oil jumped more than 7% the moment Tasnim published the announcement
THE BREAKDOWN:
→ Trump returned an amended MOU over the weekend demanding clearer nuclear timelines and immediate Hormuz reopening
→ Iranian team was still exchanging messages through Pakistani and Qatari mediators hours before
→ Then Israel struck Lebanon
→ Iran's stated precondition — Lebanon withdrawal — was gone
💀 The Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of the world's oil through a 21-mile gap
💀 Bab el-Mandeb handles a significant share of global energy and cargo traffic
💀 Both straits are now on Iran's formal closure agenda simultaneously
💀 A deal that was 95% complete is now fully dead — not paused, not delayed
⚠️ Trump's public response: "I really don't care. I couldn't care less."
⚠️ US plans to maintain the naval blockade
⚠️ Iran framing this as punishment for Israel's supporters — not just Israel
They're showing you "negotiations collapsed."
They're NOT showing you that Iran just placed the closure of two of the world's most critical energy chokepoints on its formal agenda in the same announcement.
You don't halt talks through every mediator channel simultaneously → you do that when you're done negotiating → and being done negotiating means the next move is operational, not diplomatic.
Turn notifications on. If you're not following yet, you'll understand why that was a mistake later.
