I’d say the Iranians have no choice, otherwise their infrastructure would be overwhelmed and eventually destroyed.
Again, another class move by Trump.
I wonder do they take the full Iranian tanker, bring it to the nearest friendly refinery, empty it, then allow it to return back to Iran to repeat the process.
NO!! Not my read of the tea leaves. Who gets the $$ from the oil remains to be seen. Nothing gets to re-enter the Gulf... till Yellow Dust is recovered!
But this is a GREAT step in that direction. Would go so far as the question whether the Apache shot down was by a rouge element that is not on board with walking towards peace.
Agreements, treaties and whatever do NOT mean that rouge entities are constrained. Look at America and its rouge entities. Better yet go look up on youtube what MacArthur did to ensure that an internal Japanese uprising did not take place and overwhelm the minuscule American transition force in place post WWII. Europe was and still is a mess. Wrong approach :-(
Japan was TRANSITIONED into a peaceful, prosperous nation in large part due to the Japanese living there. Is such a thing not possible with the Persians???
My Belief is that a framework for peace may be in place. But the pieces on the board need to be moved carefully and appropriately timed. And possibly one of the greatest enemies to peace is.......
Trump made the announcement regarding the oil seizures for the first time on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, without providing specific operational details.
Any guesses on how they're doing it?

Sounds like we're doing the Iranians a favor.
Yep. And it’s probably driving them crazy 🤪

Maybe like on Smokey And The Bandit they're putting a tanker in the Rocking Chair and slipping it out through the straits.
