A senior US administration official said May 25 that the US and Iran had developed a framework extending their ceasefire 60 days while the two sides reach a final deal to end the war, with the Strait of Hormuz to be de-mined and reopened in the interim. More concrete than the leaked Friday draft, the de-mining-and-reopening commitment is the first explicit move toward the durable-Hormuz-reopening leg of the energy-thesis invalidation, but it is unimplemented and the same-day US strikes underline its fragility.
