Iran to keep Hormuz shut even if US signs deal: Mojtaba won't give oil relief to desperate Trump?

A draft plan reportedly keeps Hormuz shut for 30 days for Iranian demining even as Marco Rubio vows the strait will be opened “one way or another,” leaving Trump squeezed between Iran’s leverage and soaring fuel prices at home.
