Iran’s chief negotiator says the Strait of Hormuz will ‘NEVER return to pre-war conditions’ — but Hormuz ship crossings just TRIPLED in one week. Iran’s Foreign Ministry says ZERO IAEA inspections are planned — but the IAEA director general says inspections are happening regardless. So who’s actually winning this deal? Former F-15E combat pilot Ryan Bodenheimer breaks down the massive gap between Iran’s tough talk and what’s actually happening on the water — including the U.S. military hardware still on station in the Arabian Sea: USS Abraham Lincoln, USS George H.W. Bush, F/A-18E Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, E-2D Hawkeyes, and Shield AI’s autonomous surveillance drones running trust-but-verify operations over the Hormuz in real time. PLUS: CENTCOM takes out a senior ISIS leader in Syria, and Ukraine hits Russia’s only helium plant 1,200 km from the front line.
