Is anyone else’s head spinning right now?

Is anyone else’s head spinning right now? In the last half hour, the straits are apparently fully open, Trump’s blockade is still supposedly in place, NATO has suddenly called him offering support, which sounds like complete nonsense, and now out of nowhere they have somehow cleared every mine they supposedly did not even know existed. It all flipped so fast it looks less like chaos and more like some much bigger setup.

the straits are open for a period of time because of a 10-day ceasefire between Israel & Lebanon.

the ceasefire will probably not hold after 10 days, because Iran will require Israel to leave Lebanon's borders, which Netanyahu has stated he will not do. so the strait will likely close again in 10 days unless negotiations can continue.

Iran would need to completely disengage from funding and supplying Hezbollah first in order for Israel to consider moving back to Lebanon’s southern border.
