Aragchchi tells a group of journalists and analysts that Iran has given the US a proposal that would have the Strait of Hormuz opened within seven days, given that the US agrees to Iran's conditions, all of which are based on what already was agreed upon in the MOU. It includes what Iran and Oman already has agreed upon regarding routes.

@BrettErickson28 Same as in Iraq.

Rubio on Iraq PM/militias: “I met with him, and then the president saw him briefly last night as well, and had this conversation. Look, we have zero doubt of his commitment to doing this. We understand it's a massive challenge and a difficult challenge. I think he's achieved certain things. At least three militias have disarmed and have basically joined the the national government. There are a couple, at least one in particular, that has not been as forthcoming, and we recognize that's going to be a real challenge that he's going to have on his hands, and as we've told him, we want him to succeed.

@AmirAminiMD No one is talking about attacking North Korea...

@AmirAminiMD Darn, if only Lindsey Graham was alive to see that.

@MarioNawfal @grok, Is concealing a death a federal crime?

[James Durso @james_durso]

@MamaScoobi95 @BrettErickson28 Your misunderstanding was thinking the US would stick with an agreement.

[James Durso @james_durso]

@TheGarlandNixon @KelleyBVlahos Sounds like he's over-compensating.

[James Durso @james_durso]

There's always someone who doesn't get the word...

Once again, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman put his faith in Trump to defend Saudi Arabia. Once again, Trump let him down.

Why Mohammed bin Salman expected Trump to say yes is anyone’s guess. He had been here before.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states presume that if their security is threatened badly enough, Washington will ultimately come to the rescue. It won’t.

This assumption is not merely mistaken. The American security order in the Middle East is dead. Pretending otherwise is becoming a danger to the region’s security.

Return to intense combat after midterms would lead to destruction of Saudi and other critical infra, prolonging oil outage, esp with Patriots used up. Nothing changed since early August when Saudi/Qatar talked him off the ledge. 🤦‍♂️ #IranWar‌

[Greg Priddy @GregPriddy1]

OK, #Iran is willing to return to the June MOU, and #China likes that. BUT the US is not, because it would legitimate Iran role in managing Strait traffic. That would undo the "Oman route" the US has been promoting and trying to defend. Under the MOU, US ignored... #IranWar‌
