Breaking news! According to Iranian television, a U.S. destroyer near the Strait of Hormuz received a warning from Iran via Pakistan: if the warship crosses the Strait of Hormuz, it will be attacked within 30 minutes, inevitably disrupting the ongoing negotiations!
The report stated that the U.S. Navy's Michael Murphy missile destroyer (DDG-112) moved toward the Strait of Hormuz from Fujairah Port in the UAE during the afternoon.
It's blatantly obvious—this is a coordinated move by the U.S. military and negotiation team, attempting to forcibly push through the Strait of Hormuz during talks, aiming to create a fait accompli and leverage it for bargaining power.
Unexpectedly, Iran paid no attention to the outcome of the negotiations; instead, they immediately recognized the U.S. attempt to use a warship to force passage through the strait, denying Americans any chance to disrupt the diplomatic process.
Under combined military and diplomatic warnings, the U.S. warship was ordered to halt its advance and turned back. Might may be strong, but it still fears those with nothing to lose.
It’s clearly necessary for Iran to keep its finger on the trigger while negotiating.
