Blockade maritime traffic...SOME ports are extremely active. Shipping lanes must be about to be opened.

Seeing Dubai & UAE ports jammed
with tankers & ships smoothly crossing
the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran Regime’s
ports are totally dead, zero movement.

Man, that just warms the soul
and makes you grin like an idiot 😍

Who’s the stronger one now? 😂 pic.twitter.com/yb7hmD8D2z

Everyone is saying that its Netanyahu but is it really the Saudis? Are we seeing a low key fight between the Shia & Sunnis?

What if we're all wrong? What if this is about Israel pushing the war but instead the Gulf States? What if this is actually a proxy war between the Shia & Sunnis? I thought of it as a sideshow of the discussions/diplomacy. This isn't the first time that the Saudis have pushed for the war to continue.

NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute:

Some are speculating that the truce talks are going well...

Big Development:
If PM Shahbaz Sharif is travelling to KSA on emergency basis that likely means USA and Iran are agreed that Pakistan and KSA will be doing joint patrolling of the Strait of Hormuz: my sources in Washington DC confirm.
