#109 The Ceasefire That Wasn’t · Iran, Leverage, and a Week That Didn’t Add Up

This week, a war slowed down… a ceasefire was announced… and somehow, nothing fully lined up.

The U.S. said one thing. Iran said another. Israel kept moving. And the one metric that actually matters — the Strait of Hormuz — never clearly normalized.

So what actually happened?

In this Friday Review, we walk it out:

    What the ceasefire claimed to doWhere it held upWhere it brokeAnd why everyone sounding confident might be the biggest red flag

Because when every side claims victory… it’s usually worth asking what’s actually been resolved.

This is not a recap.

This is the part everyone edits out.
