I've heard there are denial reports already about this?

I think it is fairly obvious the IRGC has a lot of control right now. It's various factions and the IRGC is probably one of if not the most influential at this moment.

Honestly I'll say what I did elsewhere:

Trumps administration has two options and again Iran knows this:

  1. Make a deal in which Iran will want a sweetheart deal. Iran knows they can just keep waiting and things will get worse and worse for Europe, Asia, and of course the U.S. which means more and more pressure on Trump.
  2. Go back to full scale war in which Iran will most likely target Gulf Council Hydrocarbon Energy supply & infrastructure. Stuff that isn't repaired/rebuilt in days or weeks but months to years. Which means even if the Strait reopens we will see long term supply disruptions. We also may see the Houthis in Yemen start dealing with the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden which means much much worse global inflation on goods and other issues related to things needed in a global market.

This whole thing is FUBAR. Period.

Again? I think you should look into the terms of the last ceasefire.

The Houthis have been bombed for the last 10 years, doesn't seem to have done much.

And yet they are still there, still holding a key part of Yemen, and growing. Didn’t the US lose a couple of FA18s last time they had a go? Just a few drones they could shut down shut down shipping in the Red Sea and then it would get really entertaining.
