Trump Declares Deal has been agreed, yet to be signed but Straits will Open (Open Thread) Links Added at Bottom

President Trump on Truth Social:

Text

The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Wall Street Journal claims that ceasefire in Lebanon is included in this arrangement, but there has never been a ceasefire in Lebanon since before the previous ceasefire was declared by Trump.  So we will see.

Trump tells the NYT that if a US-Iran nuclear deal isn’t reached, he would restart military attacks on Tehran or make the United States “the guardian of the Middle East” in return for 20 percent of the region’s revenues.
