Day 129. The largest crowd of the whole war filled Tehran this morning, and none of them came to fight. They shut the airspace and marched a procession the city puts at twenty million down a ten-kilometer road to bury the man whose killing started all of this in February. Staggering to watch. It also tells you nothing about whether the peace holds. The talks are frozen until the funeral ends Thursday, the stand-down’s into its second week, and oil’s back to $72 like the war never happened. But the strait still runs a third full, and Washington and Tehran aren’t haggling over a price — they’re fighting over whether Iran can charge a dime at all, with Trump vowing to ‘blow up’ Oman for holding the door open. That’s not a deal yet. It’s a truce with the hard part deferred. Bring the flask.
