On 17 June, in the same Hall of Mirrors at Versailles where a binding treaty was signed a hundred and seven years earlier, Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian signed a fourteen-point memorandum — and the media called it the end of the war.
Three decisions in seven days, all from the same house: Trump announced the "most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country", Tehran announced BRICS bank membership without the bank's confirmation, and Russian ships reached Amirabad with TNT and drone parts.
The UAE suspended all trade with Iran — closing the one window years of sanctions could not. Tehran denies the missile fire, its closest allies are already looking for an exit, and the bill lands on people who had no say in any of it.
The 60-day deadline died Monday night, the strait stayed shut, and Tuesday morning a ship leaving Hormuz was hit. Tehran announces an understanding with Oman; Washington threatens to bomb it. And the name that was in no headline is still in none.
