@contang_o Well, I think it’s important to appreciate how much worse this could have gotten if conflict intensified. I do feel it’s one of the better (potential) conclusions of a very negative outcome.
“They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest.
They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people.
They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.”

Iran said on Monday that no agreement with the United States was imminent, despite progress toward a framework in talks aimed at ending the war.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the two sides had reached conclusions on many issues but that did not mean they were close to signing an agreement.
He said the focus of talks remained ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, and that the possible MOU did not include specific details on managing the Strait of Hormuz.
The spokesman said management of the strait belonged to coastal countries and denied that Iran planned to charge tolls, saying any services provided could carry a cost but should not be presented as tolls.
He also said the current focus of negotiations was ending the war, not the details of the nuclear issue.

@MarhelmData You are misquoting the report.
Star Asia, whoever they are, say they may either sail at night or passage is secured by government back deals.
You clearly implied the owner paid in cryptocurrency.
