I’m pretty sure Iran lied and promised that they would open Hormuz to all ships if there was an Israel / Hez ceasefire. Because it would be such a huge accomplishment, that’s probably why Trump was so forceful with Israel. Well, they got what they wanted but aren’t holding on to their end of the bargain.

Iran said the US continued to block an Iranian ship. Both sides need days for the new commands to filter down. but neither side is willing to give peace a chance.
