Hormuz on a hair trigger
An exchange of fire in the Strait of Hormuz has the United States demanding Tehran stop attacks on shipping as a condition of any deal — and Iran signalling it wants a deal anyway.
Desk note. Monexus framed this around the verifiable US ask at Hormuz and the explicit gap in the reporting — what Tehran's counter-position is — rather than improvising an Iranian read. The wires converge on the precondition and the diplomatic openness; they diverge on whether the current calm is genuine or rehearsed, and that divergence is the story going into Monday's session.
