But there are some interesting ideas that have been put on the table that may actually work.

One being that all traffic comes in through a specific corridor that goes through both Iranian and Omani water, and all

traffic that goes out goes through a different corridor.

Both of them need to be coordinated with both of them, uh all both the inbound and the outbound traffic.

It it's a it's a complicated issue.

But anyways, it's a proposal that seems to have gained some

traction.

This is part of the reason why the Iranians started to say that they're close to a deal.

And I think part of the reason why Trump suddenly thought that he had an excuse not to go forward with the bluff that he had put out there by claiming this deal.

And then the Iranians come out and say, well, we're not negotiating with you.

And this is then really pissing off Trump because it means that whatever is being negotiated, he will not get credit for.

If if an agreement is found uh uh reached based on what the Ivanis want right now, I my understanding is that that would ultimately trump all other types of measures because again, it was never accepted, whether the law of the seas is applying here, whether this is just territorial waters, etc.

So it would create a new reality.

And again, I think this is part of the reason why there's a

Part of this that is very unattractive to the Trump administration and to the US.

And this would be very unattractive to anyone in the blob at the end of the day.

But it goes again to the question: okay, what do we really care about?

Them having a co-managed system or actually the flow of trade and oil.

If it is the latter, I think there will be elements in the Trump administration that says, let's just accept this and let's focus now on the nuclear issue and make sure that that part is something that is to delight.

liking of the US in order to declare victory, rather than to turn all of this into the Strait of Hormos, in which it's clear the UN the United States does not have a military option.
