"Event [9] involves the US President issuing an ultimatum to Iran ('Negotiate or Face Annihilation'). The new event, where Iran presents specific preconditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, can be interpreted as a diplomatic counter-move or response to this pressure, asserting their own terms rather than capitulating to the ultimatum."
