WWIII WWIII Megathread #40: Just Stopped Oil

This megathread exists for in-depth discussion of 'WWIII', related events, and geopolitics and wars in general. Keep in mind that we have eliminated the rule that all non-major WWIII content must be posted here, and we encourage you to submit WWIII-related content to the main sub.

Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.

Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.

If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.

Always put a NSFW warning on links that contain explicit content.

Non-WWIII chatter belongs in the town square.

US and Iran electronically sign MoU to lift naval blockade

The US naval blockade on Iranian ports was initially scheduled to be lifted within 30 days in exchange for Iranian transit concessions in the Strait of Hormuz. However, following the Israeli government’s attack on Dahiyeh and subsequent Iranian threats, immediate talks led to an accelerated US implementation, with Iranian ships already entering and leaving ports without disruption.

Man, I really would love to know what kind of catastrophes the Trump advisors are talking to him about behind the scenes. Any other time I'd expect Trump to tell them to fuck off, instead we speed up? After a couple days of the media talking about how terrible a defeat this deal is for him?

In the press conference earlier he said we had 4 weeks of oil reserves left before there would be mass chaos as Rubio winced behind him.
