Trump priority was regime change and he though it would be easy so it was a worth thing to disturb the global economy . When he realized that it will not work he was forced to stop the full scale war
While obviously a bit oversimplified (geopolitics does not lend itself to a two-sentence summary) I quite agree that this was a big part of it.
Maybe I misunderstood you
Yeah I think so - I was indeed referring to the Israel/Lebanon agreement (“framework”), not the MOU.
If Trump refuses to put real pressure on Israel and the full scale war is back , that’s a choice the U.S. made not something Israel forced on them. The USA has full responsibility for this decision
Yes, that’s the problem. As I said earlier, “If Israel doesn’t listen to trump, which seems unlikely to happen though I hope it does, Trump’s only recourse to opening the straight is to restart the war with Iran or go to war with another nuclear power (and one that he’s very ‘loyal’ to)”. It’s gambling a great deal on Trump being a rational actor who does not want to go to war.
So, I’m glad you seem to be in agreement with me. That’s nice.
