Petraeus: Iran's 'blink' could unlock Strait of Hormuz if peace talks advance

Former CIA director David Petraeus says Iran appears to be blinking over the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that a preliminary peace deal could open the strait without conditions as long as Tehran cannot control traffic, levy tolls, or threaten future closure; even with a deal, Iran’s nuclear program and funding for proxies remain issues, while its military could still threaten shipping through mining or drone attacks, and negotiators like Rubio say diplomacy should be given time to succeed.
