Iran is saying it will not negotiate until seized assets are released and Israeli strikes on Lebanon stop.

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation, but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/V0CbFMz

From WSJ: "Only six weeks ago, ships moved freely through the strait before the war without any military coordination with Iran. The new arrangements are altering the balance of power in the Persian Gulf and expanding Iran’s global influence despite the battering it suffered in the five-week war." wsj.com/world/middle-e…

U.S. Vice President JD Vance repeats the same statement made earlier today by the White House, claiming that the Strait of Hormuz has seen an “increase in traffic” today, despite all maritime tracking outlets reporting that Wednesday has seen the lowest number of ships transit the Hormuz Strait since the beginning of April.

Any toll to pass through the Strait of Hormuz would not be “a beautiful thing,” as the president contended to ABC News Jonathan Karl. It would represent an unprecedented surrender of freedom of navigation, which the U.S. Navy has fought to preserve and protect since Thomas Jefferson was president. From the days of the Barbary pirates to the Somali pirates and the Houthis, the U.S. and its allies have contended that U.S. ships can sail wherever they want, whenever they want, in international waters, and no state, entity, or force gets to restrict that. The Strait of Hormuz is legally international waters. Neither Iran, nor Oman, nor the United States is legally permitted to charge a fee or threaten force against ships that do not pay a fee. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the reason the U.S. was destroying the Iranian navy was to “ensure freedom of navigation.” If the U.S. had always been amenable to the Iranian regime charging a fee to all the tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz . . . why did we just fight this war?

Notice the “ten-point proposal from Iran,” which Trump called “a workable basis on which to negotiate.” According to Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, here are the ten points: 1- The US should commit, in principle, to guarantee non-aggression 2- Iran’s continued control of the Strait of Hormuz 3- Iran’s uranium enrichment right should be accepted 4- Lifting of all primary sanctions 5- Lifting of all secondary sanctions 6- Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions 7- Termination of all IAEA Board of Governors resolutions 8- Payment of compensation for damages inflicted on Iran 9- Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region 10- Cessation of the war on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic resistance in Lebanon When the Iranian government says, “The heroic Islamic resistance in Lebanon,” they mean Hezbollah.

Trump has called Iran toll on ships crossing the strait of Hormuz a beautiful thing and said he is thinking of doing it as a joint venture.

By the way, the photo in this X post is from Orban's 2015 visit to Iran, where he "received with military honours in the Iranian capital," and "acknowledged with pleasure that Iran has “survived” the period of sanctions, and is finally returning to the mainstream of the world economy and world politics."
Jim Geraghty@jimgeraghty

And yet a handful of American conservatives hold Viktor Orban in wildly overinflated esteem. Steve King, a former Iowa Republican congressman who was never a contender for the sharpest knife in the drawer, once contended, “History will record PM Orban the Winston Churchill of Western Civilization.” (My former National Review colleague Jay Nordlinger observed that the Winston Churchill of Western Civilization really ought to be … you know, Churchill.)

From Monday: "If the mullahs and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps remain in power when the shooting stops, they will not only let out a deep sigh of relief, they will have good reasons to believe that the U.S. will never attempt a comparable operation against them again."

Vance has really embarrassed Trump. Best outcome: Trump now becomes willing to do what it takes to finish the regime.
