Eh, Iran, despite being led by crazy religious zealots, they have actually been the reliable one in the war.
They gave everyone warning that if attacks continued they would shut down the strait.
They did.
When the ceasefire was announced by Pakistan with a joint crafted message, it stated Lebanon was included in the ceasefire. Iran stated their intention to open the strait when Israel stopped attacking Lebanon. When, eventually, Israel did.
They opened the strait.
They asked for Trump to lift his blockade or they would close the strait until it was. Trump refused. They closed the strait.
They are now offering a return to pre-war conditions, no blockade by the US or by Iran, and nuclear talks. Not even including Lebanon this time, at least publicly.
