🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is giving Iran 3 to 5 days to get its house in order before the ceasefire ends. Here's what's actually happening behind the scenes: - The IRGC and Iran's civilian negotiators are openly at war with each other, with neither side having access to a barely responsive supreme leader - When Araghchi announced Hormuz was open, the IRGC simply refused to implement it and publicly attacked him - Vance had his bags packed for Islamabad. Air Force 2 sat on the tarmac for hours. Iran gave the green light Monday night, then reversed it Tuesday morning - Witkoff and Kushner flew from Miami to Washington instead of Islamabad - At Tuesday's national security meeting, Trump's own advisers didn't know if he'd choose strikes or more diplomacy. He chose diplomacy, for now - Multiple U.S. officials say Trump doesn't want to use military force anymore and wants out of an increasingly unpopular war - The blockade stays - What everyone is waiting for: Khamenei to break his silence and give his negotiators a clear directive Trump's leverage: "Iran is starving for cash and can't even pay their military and police" Source: Axios
