During the war and the following cease fire blockades and operations…the US has not been communicating well with the Gulf States.
Some Iranians ships continue to make it through the blockade.

Russia had a ship carrying two nuclear reactors likely for North Korea’s nuclear submarines. It was sunk by some sort of explosion. No one is admitting what happened.

Japan is becoming its own hub in a hub and spoke model of quasi-alliances in the Asia-Pacific. It’s cooperating with many countries and selling needed weapons. Japan is the most trusted major power among ASEAN countries. Beating the EU, US, China, and India.

In tough diplomacy, the world came together to prevent Iran from getting a nuke. Even Israeli intelligence said Iran was in compliance. Trump blew all that up by leaving the agreement unilaterally, claiming he could get a better deal. Instead, he gave us war.
The Obama-Iran deal set back Iranian nuclear development by over a decade, and was intended to be the start of negotiations and the relationship, not the final say. They hoped the next president, Hillary Clinton, could push deals forward. Instead, Trump was elected and took a different path.

Thanks to the US having weaker relationships with our allies due to Trump’s bullying, and Trump’s, so far, failed war in Iran, and Trump’s failure to contain Russia or China…US military spending is going to be much higher. Trump’s attempts at saving money by getting allies to pay more has backfired.

Trump may have gotten the US into a trap. He left the deal Obama made with Japan, and similar ones were on the offer, but he rejected them and instead chose war. Now the US may be stuck between either a massive ground invasion of Iran or Iran as a new great power.

Iran says that the reason they enriched uranium past the agreed upon amount was because Trump betrayed the deal Iran made with the United States. They only did it as retaliation for the United States backing out of an agreement both countries agreed to, not because they wanted a nuke.
