The Iranians, from what Bloomberg said,

obtained from that response.

They again have demanded a reopening of Hormuz, but to retain some Iranian control there and a removal of sanctions without actually addressing the issue of the nuclear program.

And Trump seems very impatient with that.

His patience is running out.

And Trump seems very impatient with that.

His patience is running out.

However, we've heard statements to that effect from Trump in the past.

It's hard to know whether they're bringing us closer to a possible resumption of this war after an almost month-long ceasefire or whether Trump is positioning himself for another round of negotiations.

They appear nowhere close to dealing with the core demands issued by the Americans and by the Israelis in launching this war.

those that would strip Iran of what remains of its nuclear program, specifically stockpiles of enriched uranium and the like.

It's not a full closure.

It is indeed imposing U.S.

military control, U.S.

military might over that waterway.

The question is, will the Iranians rise to this challenge by perhaps

trying to run that blockade or encouraging ships that they deal with to run that blockade, which could actually draw American fire.

What Trump appears to have done now is turn the tables, basically announcing that it's free traffic for all or free traffic for none.
