But Iran is attacking America's partners in the Gulf. Countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and also Jordan. All those countries host US troops. There are American diplomats and American workers there as well. Basically, they're trying to manage the situation and hoping it gets resolved. The US thought this had been

resolved in article 5 of that memorandum of understanding. Obviously, it wasn't. At the time, President Trump said, "Well, if the diplomacy part doesn't work out, we'll just take it all back by force." But the US didn't militarily control the Strait of Hormuz. And they don't today. Iran, specifically their revolutionary guard, hasn't shown interest in diplomacy, even though the vice president and President Trump's envoys are working the phones trying to get some kind of peace deal here. What

we know is that the revolutionary guard does want to control the waterways around Oman and Iran, the passageways to get to the straight of Hormuz. They want to charge money for the ships that pass through. And this is really the heart of the matter. This is not a fight about Iran's future nuclear program.
