This week we're told there's a pause in the war to allow for a new round of negotiations. Coincidentally, that will also give time for the United States Marines transiting by sea from Japan to get on-station in theater. The apparent WARNO to the 82nd Airborne, the Army's most rapidly deployable force, also looks relevant to that "week of talks."
Is peace at hand? I wouldn't wager on it. I'm not sure who is left over there who has authority to negotiate a peace in any case.

Gives the Iranians time too. Finding any accurate info these days is hard, but it seems like water may be a key issue- both the denial of it for transit and for drinking.
The irony is that it's a military tactic that has a strong root in Islamic tradition: it is called hudna.
