"...this is bc "their #deaths occurred after Pres Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in Apr.""

So

They weren't really dead then?

I'm sure that they and their families are all glad to know that

"24 hours after proposing it, President Trump drops his demand for a 20% toll for cargo going through the Strait of Hormuz.

Instead, he says,

"Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States."

"Trade and Investment Deals" to be handled through #Witcoff and #Kushner, to be sure...

"Trump on Truth Social: Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military

... the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran — and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION

We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo"

So

When is a #Blockade *not* a blockade?

U.S. Central Command -- @CENTCOM

1:36 PM · Jun 26, 2026

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted strikes against Iran, June 26, as a powerful response to yesterday’s attack on a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites after Iran hit M/V Ever Lovely on June 25 with a one-way attack drone.

The Singapore-flagged cargo ship was exiting the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast at the time of Iran’s attack.

The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire.

Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.
CENTCOM forces continue to provide safe passage coordination and support to commercial vessels transiting the strait"

"significant economic incentives"

Laura Rozen -- @lrozen

"Vance: #JaredKushner actually came up with a very interesting solution with the Qataris, where basically, again, if there is any frozen Iranian assets that are unfrozen, then we have approval over that process

The Qataris have approval over that process, and then the money would actually go to buy American soy, American corn and American wheat for the benefit of the Iranian people ...

what Jared and the Qataris and the entire team here in Bergenstock accomplished is to me a classic Trump deal, where if Iranian assets are ever unfrozen, they're going to go to make American farmers richer and to feed the Iranian people."

So

Kushner-engineered #Baksheesh which moves "frozen Iranian assets" to US farmers, who love Trump more, and Iranians get American food products

Which helps American consumers how?

Oh... right

Trump has signed an MOU in Versailles

Here's what Heather Cox Richardson says in "Letters from an American" https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-17-2026

"A senior U.S. official read the text of the fourteen-point memorandum of understanding with Iran over the phone to reporters today, and there’s a reason it has ignited a firestorm"

A memorandum of understanding is usually a nonbinding agreement outlining shared goals and intentions, but in this case, although there is much vague or confusing language in the text, what the White House says is an MOU actually has firm language in it"

"It looks as if Trump’s war on Iran has cost the U.S. the lives of thirteen service members, injuries to 400 more, and at least $132 billion so far in immediate costs, lost income, and higher consumer costs, only to leave the U.S. in a significantly worse place with regard to Iran than before Trump started bombing"

Several things are at work with Trump and his shiny "new" Iran "deal"

1) Trump has the attention span of a goldfish (with apologies to goldfish)

2) Trump is bored

3) Trump wants to move on to something simpler: see #Cuba

4) someone somewhere in the #WhiteHouse has finally convinced Trump that he has backed himself into a corner of his own making, and it's time to cut his losses and move on

Look

OSINTdefender -- @sentdefender

"According to CNN, citing a U.S. official, new details have emerged about the U.S.-Iran MOU, following Iran’s release of their version of the deal and U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s comments refuting their claims.

Per the U.S. official, the deal includes an Iranian commitment not to fund terror groups abroad, the destruction and removal of enriched material, the dismantling of Iran’s wider nuclear program, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the release of frozen Iranian assets and funds, contingent on their compliance with the deal."

So

The "details" are that Trump continues to demand everything #Iran has already, repeatedly, said it won't agree to

#ArtOfTheDeal indeed...
