They also appear to have violated the terms of the memorandum of understanding that both sides signed.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Iran was seeking to defend its new seam of leverage \u2014 the capacity to manage traffic through a waterway critical to the global economy. Its missile strikes on Gulf states and US assets suggested an attempt to set a new postwar regional strategic paradigm. Tehran also seemed to be turning a political screw against President Donald Trump and testing how far his patience will stretch as he seeks to preserve what he has characterized as a triumphant deal to end the war.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Washington could not allow Iran to control shipping through the strait. To do so would suggest it was defeated in a war it started. The Islamic Republic would acquire the capacity to take the global economy hostage and to exert political pressure on the US at any moment it chose. In the process, US power in the region, expressed by its capacity to protect allies, would weaken.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A cargo vessel is seen from another cargo vessel anchored off the coast of Oman on June 23.\" class=\"wp-image-4226\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/eb06b2e823f44521376ebf1348ae4d83.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/eb06b2e823f44521376ebf1348ae4d83.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/eb06b2e823f44521376ebf1348ae4d83-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>A cargo vessel is seen from another cargo vessel anchored off the coast of Oman on June 23.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Elke Scholiers\/Getty Images\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Iran\u2019s belligerence followed a trip to the Gulf by Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week, which saw the US and its allies back free, unconditional and unrestricted navigation in the strait without Iranian tolls, fees or \u201cattempts to exert control.\u201d This was seen as an attempt to resolve ambiguities in the agreement \u2014 which, while stating Iran must restore free passage and restore maritime traffic, seemed to leave open its possible monetization of navigation in future.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But the cycle of Iranian provocations and US reprisals was a dangerous game. It threatened to acquire its own momentum with the prestige of the mercurial US president on the line in a week when he\u2019s trying to appear all-powerful and to make himself the focus of 250th anniversary celebrations of the Declaration of Independence.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump threatened on Sunday that if Iran continued \u201cviolating\u201d the ceasefire, it \u201cwill no longer exist.\u201d Although his supporters might conclude his warning succeeded in forcing Tehran to step back, the Iranians learned not to take his most bellicose rhetoric seriously during the war. And the president agreed to what many critics saw as a capitulation to Iran after arguing that he didn\u2019t want to cause a major economic slump by continuing the conflict.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Secretary of State Marco Rubio is greeted by Steven Butler, charge d'affaires ad interim of the US Embassy in Kuwait, during his visit to the Middle East on June 24.\" class=\"wp-image-4227\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e2d445396dd5cd41199e2f59787891e7.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e2d445396dd5cd41199e2f59787891e7.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e2d445396dd5cd41199e2f59787891e7-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Secretary of State Marco Rubio is greeted by Steven Butler, charge d&#8217;affaires ad interim of the US Embassy in Kuwait, during his visit to the Middle East on June 24.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Eric Lee\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            But Trump is often defined by his inconsistency. In future, it might be dangerous for Tehran to assume that he will always act in predictable ways or that he\u2019ll shy away from a huge escalation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Still, behind the latest flare-ups, there was always a strategic rationale that augured against a return to full-scale war. Iran is accruing enormous benefits from the memorandum. The US has moved to waive some sanctions pending a final agreement. And Tehran has begun to ship millions of barrels of its own oil again as it seeks to revive a buckled economy.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            An uptick in all maritime traffic through the strait, meanwhile, helped eased global oil prices and brought the promise of cheaper gasoline \u2014 an important consideration as an affordability crisis helps to depress Trump\u2019s approval ratings before midterm elections. Average US gasoline prices dipped to $3.87 a gallon Sunday, according to AAA. This is still 30% higher than before the war, but well below a peak of $4.56 in late May.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Unlike some of his modern predecessors, Trump avoided the temptation to double down and escalate a war that appeared headed for an indecisive conclusion that would harm his reputation. But the stark differences between the US and Iran over the strait raise fresh questions about his approach. Before the war that Trump launched, the waterway was open. And the showdowns over its state suggest future talks over more complex issues like Iran\u2019s nuclear program will be even more difficult.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vessels are anchored in the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, on June 19.\" class=\"wp-image-4228\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/155eccd23f625f37f40b9e011c272ec8-768x455.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/155eccd23f625f37f40b9e011c272ec8-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/155eccd23f625f37f40b9e011c272ec8-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/155eccd23f625f37f40b9e011c272ec8.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Vessels are anchored in the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, on June 19.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Stringer\/Reuters\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n<strong>Washington warns it will not allow Iran to grab strategic wins<\/strong>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            A US official said Sunday that all Iranian drones and missiles targeting US assets in neighboring Kuwait and Bahrain were shot down or failed to reach their targets, CNN\u2019s Zachary Cohen reported.

Middle East ceasefires often don\u2019t halt all military exchanges even if they establish a ceiling that can prevent the return to all-out war. And wars in the region often end up emboldening new generations of hardliners \u2014 like those in Iran who may be orchestrating its efforts to cement its new leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Former Biden administration national security adviser Jake Sullivan predicted that recent events were the prelude to a tense period as negotiations take place. The Trump team will hardly welcome his advice. But during the Obama administration, Sullivan played a key role in early stages of talks on the international deal that capped Iran\u2019s nuclear program, which Trump tore up in his first term.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe Iranians are leaning forward to exercise control over the strait, to remind the world that they control that waterway, then leaning back when the Trump administration objects vigorously enough because the Iranians want to keep getting the windfall that they\u2019ve gotten out of this MOU,\u201d Sullivan told CNN\u2019s Fareed Zakaria on Sunday, accurately predicting the evening\u2019s events.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWhen it comes to the nuclear file, I think they will dribble out very small concessions bit by bit, then pull them back, then put them forward, then pull them back to keep the United States at the table,\u201d Sullivan said, casting doubt on the chances of solid progress within 60 days.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, left, and Vice President JD Vance greet Pakistani officials during a quadrilateral meeting between the US, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar at the Lake Lucerne Summit in Switzerland on June 21.\" class=\"wp-image-4230\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1a1efadc260b3e746dc79722e30bd5e0.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1a1efadc260b3e746dc79722e30bd5e0.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1a1efadc260b3e746dc79722e30bd5e0-300x209.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>President Donald Trump&#8217;s special envoy Steve Witkoff, left, and Vice President JD Vance greet Pakistani officials during a quadrilateral meeting between the US, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar at the Lake Lucerne Summit in Switzerland on June 21.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Nathan Howard\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\n<strong>The war\u2019s endgame is up for grabs<\/strong>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Renewed clashes in the Middle East are likely to reignite partisan rancor in Washington over the agreement.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas downplayed the recent exchanges between the US and Iran. \u201cThe major war is over, and think of this as almost just a mop-up operation,\u201d Marshall said of a conflict that is deeply unpopular in the US. He insisted on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d that Washington was making \u201cgreat progress\u201d with diplomacy.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Democrats have styled Trump\u2019s MOU as a humiliating defeat for the United States that falls far short of his claims to have solved the conflict. And it may also inflame a heated debate in Congress about Trump\u2019s war powers and the legal justification for his launching of the war that has also worried some Republicans.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            What happens next in the Middle East will have serious political and strategic implications.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The key question is whether the confrontations over the strait continue to burn at a controllable level or whether they ignite and destroy the entire agreement and diplomatic process, plunging the region back into full-scale war.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            This would test Trump\u2019s clear preference not to prolong a conflict that has proved to be a huge political liability. But continued Iranian challenges would strain the tolerance of a president whose persona revolves around his ostentatious implementation of power and strength globally.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Ultimately, the return to diplomacy might validate Sullivan\u2019s predictions of an agonized and prolonged process. Even if a fragile peace is restored, there\u2019s unlikely to be an easy exit from the war for Trump.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=4203\">Conservative presidential power expert set to assist investigation into Trump foes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An apparent agreement by the US and Iran to pause a fresh outburst of violence stabilized a truce that is the first step to permanently ending the war and underscored that each side has a vital national interest in doing so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4220,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
