Talks to end the war with Iran appear to be hopelessly stalled. But there is a way forward if the United States agrees to pare down its immediate demands to focus on the most important issue confronting the world: the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas. An “open for open” formula, under which both sides end their blockades of the strait, could offer a way out of the negotiating stalemate evident this weekend.
President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that U.S. negotiators would head to Islamabad, Pakistan, for a second round of negotiations with Iran on Monday. “We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL,” he said, adding menacingly, “and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran.”
