Looks like the Peace President has swung from declaring the war pretty much over to threatening gigantic war crimes again: President Trump said U.S. negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday for peace talks as he warned Iran to take a deal or face strikes that would knock out all of its bridges and power plants. In the same social-media post, the president accused Iran of breaching its truce with the U.S. by opening fire this weekend in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s top negotiator said earlier there had been progress toward a peace deal with the U.S. but that “we are far from a final agreement.” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who also serves as parliamentary speaker, warned that Tehran stands ready to resume the fight should the U.S.-Iran cease-fire—currently set to lapse midweek—expire or collapse.

Control of the waters south of Iran remains a primary sticking point between the two sides. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy said it would close the Strait of Hormuz again and restrict shipping until the U.S. lifts its blockade on Iranian ports. It warned that it would “destroy” vessels attempting to cross.

Hezbollah is being blamed for the killing of a French soldier who was struck down when a U.N. peacekeeping force came under fire in southern Lebanon on Saturday. The U.S. military is preparing to board Iran-linked oil tankers and seize commercial ships that fuel Iran’s economy in international waters, according to U.S. officials. Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said the era of international powers imposing security on key global shipping lanes was over, saying regional powers like Iran would now have a say.

“The era of imposing security from across the oceans has come to an end. Today, not only has the security of Hormuz and Malacca been guaranteed under the shadow of our power and that of our strategic partners, but the security of Bab al-Mandab is also in the hands of the Ansar Allah brothers,” he said Sunday in a post on X, using another name for Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militants. In terms of the conception and then execution of this war, garbage in garbage out.
