Breaking | New Details from Inside the IRGC After the Israel-Lebanon Agreement
• According to my sources, senior IRGC leaders feel intense anger toward Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf due to the negotiations with the United States.
• They believe Iran opened
the Strait of Hormuz but received in return only limited relief from oil sanctions.
• And according to my sources, the IRGC is considering re-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz.
• Anger has also intensified due to two additional factors: U.S. pressure to shift shipping traffic to the Omani side of the strait, and the Israel-Lebanon agreement, which they view as a violation of the memorandum of understanding.
Summary:
According to my sources, the IRGC feels that Iran was deceived and is now recalculating.

The practical effects of the MOU:
– The Strait of Hormuz is open, despite Iran’s best efforts.
– The blockade was lifted and oil sanctions were waived—nominally. Nobody wants to do business with Iran.
– Everything else? Subject to “technical talks”
Trump bamboozled the IRGC.

“Trump bamboozled the IRGC”
How, if Trump wasn’t negotiating (directly) WITH the IRGC, but with others?
It’s not about the negotiations is about the IRGC thinking they control the Strait completely . 100 million barrels crossed the strait even before the MOU . And they are still crossing now . IRGC expected tolls on and sanctions off . USA arranged fir no tolls and SANCTIONS REMOVED FULLY APPARENTLY …THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE IS NONE OF THEIR FORMER “CUSTOMERS” FOR THEIR BELOW MARKET PRICED BLACK MARKET OIL ARE COMMING BACK FOR THE NOW “LEGAL” FULL PRICED OIL …IT’S NOT ONLY THE PRICE…MANY HAVE FOUND ALTERNATIVE SUPPLIERS ( LIKE THE USA) AND DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE CRAZIES ANY MORE
