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

About this episode

Send Jim a Topic to Explore

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 do
  • Where it held up
  • Where it broke
  • And 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.
