Hormuz on a 60-day clock: what Trump's deal really binds

Trump's 60-day Iran clock is not a deadline, it is a sales pitch. The contract on the table is a memorandum that Congress must review, Israel's loudest donors are publicly opposing, and US intelligence expects the Israeli side to undermine.

Desk note: wire coverage of Tuesday's exchange led with Trump's justification for the deal, the bombing he claims to have averted. Monexus has focused instead on the structural question the questioner actually asked: what holds when the 60-day clock runs out. The two framings are not contradictory; one is a sales pitch, the other is the contract.
