I think that the mullahs negotiating the “deal” are not the
same as the people holding the Strait hostage. Trump has so
battered the command and control structure of Iran that the
local commanders stationed at Hormuz are taking things into
their own hands and charging ‘tolls’ for safe passage. The
‘tell’ is that they are demanding payment in cash or bitcoin.
They are the Persian Gulf version of the Somali pirates.

Just my opinion...

I suspect Trump is using these 2 weeks to assess the situation... and make a plan.

The plan should include whatever loudmouth Iranian is proclaiming victory to be splattered on a wall somewhere

At the end of two weeks, he can easily say “ok, see???? they lied again” and finish the job

I will not be happy if they don’t get the enriched uranium.
