US Signals Hormuz "Irrelevant" in Abrupt Shift of Core War Demand
🛢️ HORMUZ — Washington just dropped its central war demand without explanation. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: If Hormuz is irrelevant, the US blockade loses its rationale — and Tehran loses its leverage point. This either means Washington secured alternative routes, or it's clearing space for Israeli unilateral action. Iran's $300B demand was priced against Hormuz control. Declare it irrelevant and the negotiating architecture collapses on both sides.
