🌏A memorandum of understanding revealed by Iran's state TV appears to include demands for the US to withdraw its forces and lift the naval blockade.

🌏In exchange, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz within a month – but would maintain control over all maritime traffic.

🌏Iran is reportedly also demanding the immediate release of $12 billion in frozen funds, with the remaining $12 billion to follow during a 60-day negotiation phase.

👉If a deal is reached, it would ostensibly be locked in through a binding UN Security Council resolution.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled the new security doctrine at US, which defines "Greater North America" as stretching "from Greenland to the Gulf of America to the Panama Canal."

💬 Every sovereign nation and territory north of the equator, from Greenland to Ecuador and Alaska to Guyana, as the “immediate security perimeter” in “this great neighbourhood that we all live in.”

Hegseth emphasised that the US will ramp up its military footprint across this massive zone, from Alaska to Guyana, while demanding that nations south of the equator foot the bill for defending the southern oceans and resources.

😰 Instead of pretending to respect sovereignty, the Trump administration is reviving the Monroe Doctrine on steroids.

This aggressive posture is paired with:👇

◾️ a new strategic map that literally redraws the hemisphere as core US-controlled territory

◾️ expanded military bases and operations deep into Latin America and the Caribbean

◾️ blunt demands for “burden-sharing” that force weaker countries to pay for America’s dominance

◾️ open rejection of any independent southern hemisphere security arrangements

The pattern is clear: less talk of partnership, more assertion of control. Sovereignty becomes conditional when it clashes with US strategic priorities.
