Trail
Connection thesis
The IRGC's explicit warning that non-complying ships 'will be dealt with,' combined with Rubio confirming zero Gulf-state support for the toll scheme and no diplomatic resolution in sight, raises the operational probability of an enforcement incident above baseline within the week.
