Iran’s Military Says It Has Reimposed ‘Strict Control’ of Strait of Hormuz​

Iran tightened its grip on the Strait of Hormuz again on Saturday, asserting that it was “under strict control” by Iranian forces — just hours after Iranian officials and President Trump had raised hopes for an end to the war by announcing that the waterway had reopened.

Iran’s military said in a statement that the strait had now “returned to its previous state” unless the United States ended its own blockade of Iranian ports. A shipping monitor run by the British navy said Saturday that it had received a report of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards firing at a tanker in the strait.

These are the folks trump claimed were "more reasonable" than the crew he blew up. It seems the reason he said it is because he needed to make it appear as though an objective for starting the war had been achieved. The problem here being duping your followers has proven to be much easier than dealing with reality. The reality being the new Iranian regime is playing hardball. It is proving to be more intractable than the contractors Don used to cheat during construction projects.

Iran rebuffs Trump’s plan for new round of peace talks, state media reports
Iran on Sunday denied it would participate in new peace talks with the United States, its state news agency reported on Sunday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said its negotiators would head to Pakistan on Monday for a second round of peace talks with Iran.

Iran’s official IRNA news agency cited no specific source in its report that Iran had rejected the talks.

“Iran stated that its absence from the second round of talks stems from what it called Washington’s ‌excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, and the ongoing naval blockade, which it considers a breach ⁠of the ceasefire,” IRNA wrote.

Earlier Sunday, Trump stated his representatives were heading for Pakistan to resume peace talks with Iranian negotiators on Monday, after an initial round of face-to-face talks last weekend concluded without an agreement to end hostilities.

“My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday.

How long can the islamic dictatorship hold onto power without oil income?

Iran has no place to store oil it cannot sell

Soon it will have to cap the oil fields and that is not a simple affair
