The mullahs have absolutely no idea how to fight a war. Blocking the Strait of Hormuz was a card that could only be played once, because alternative pipelines would be built to bypass it almost immediately. That is precisely why iran had to teach enemy the lesson, in one fell swoop—that it must not be provoked by driving oil prices up to the absolute limit and inflicting sufficient pain.
The moment Iran agreed to a ceasefire, its national security collapsed from the ground up. Over the course of three months, preparations to bypass the SOS advanced rapidly, and now crude oil exports from Saudi Arabia and the UAE have reached their peak. Trump is now in a position to continue the war without any constraints. History teaches us that nations are lost through negotiation, not war. Nearly all nations that have been thoroughly prepared have repelled invaders, while the vast majority of those that agreed to negotiations and ceasefires have lost their independence and territory.
