According to Jessie Moritz, President Trump's motivation for the Iran deal was to address the rapid decline of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states have been disunited in their response to the conflict involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

Jessie Moritz predicts that disunity among the Gulf states will persist for the next couple of years as a result of the recent conflict.

The United Arab Emirates was subjected to some of the most intense drone and missile attacks during the recent conflict with Iran.

Iran's nuclear material stockpiles remain buried and its nuclear enrichment expertise is still intact after the recent conflict.

A previous ceasefire deal with Iran collapsed primarily due to protests from internal hardline factions aligned with the IRGC.

The US-Iran ceasefire deal is at risk of collapsing due to unresolved issues related to Lebanon and Iran's nuclear program.

Jessie Moritz asserts that in the early stages of the conflict, both Israel and the United States had a policy objective of causing the collapse of the Iranian regime.

President Trump admitted in several comments that his administration lacked a strategy for dealing with a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman have favored a negotiated diplomatic solution to the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz.

The US-Iran interim peace deal allows for approximately six months of toll-free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

The recent conflict has empowered hardliners within Iran's regime, contrary to expectations that it would lead to destabilization or regime collapse.

Jessie Moritz predicts that the Iranian government will likely initiate a violent crackdown on domestic opposition in the coming months, using the recent conflict as justification.

Iran intends to negotiate with Oman to establish control over the Strait of Hormuz and implement a "service fee" for passage.

The United States' Strategic Petroleum Reserves have been declining at a very rapid pace.

Jessie Moritz identifies internal factionalism within the MAGA movement between Donald Trump and JD Vance concerning the conflict with Iran.

The Israeli military has continued its military operations in Lebanon despite the recent US-Iran ceasefire agreement.

Israeli government officials Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have publicly stated that Israel should not be bound by the terms of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement.

The United Arab Emirates has advocated for a more aggressive military response from the U.S. and international partners to retake control of the Strait of Hormuz.
