What happened

Today is US President Donald Trump’s deadline for Tehran to decide whether it intends to move toward a serious agreement or continue a war it is not winning.

Why it matters

On Monday, Iran rejected an intermediate ceasefire framework and resisted any immediate move to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even as Washington’s position remained that renewed passage through the waterway is a prerequisite for talks toward a fuller ceasefire.

Common ground

All this while Iran has yet to achieve a single strategic victory over its enemies after over a month of war.

Perspective signals
