Iran was never going to abide by the terms set in the MOU.
My personal conspiracy theory was that Trump opened the Strait back up because allies like South Korea were starting to get more affected than enemies like China. The Strait being opened, even if temporary, prevents them from feeling as much pain as negotiations continue.

It probably doesnt need much thought, its probably just betting on Polymarket then making that thing happen.
