๐จ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท BREAKING: The 60-day US-Iran deadline just ran out with no deal.
The Islamabad MoU gave both sides until today to lock in a final agreement. Nothing got signed.
They can't even agree on what the expiry means. Washington calls it the end of a ceasefire. Tehran says the MoU ended the war, so there was never a truce to extend.
Hormuz is the real fight. Iran reclosed it, the US reinstated its blockade, and Trump's now floating declaring the strait U.S. territory.
Everything points to more escalation. But six months in, both sides are exhausted enough that neither might have the appetite.
