"Event 7 shows Iran setting preconditions for reopening the Strait. The new event represents the US rejecting those terms, which is a direct escalation of the diplomatic standoff initiated by Iran's conditional stance."
"Event 15 involves a maritime attack in the Strait of Hormuz. The new event is a diplomatic failure regarding the same location and issue (reopening the strait). They are parallel developments in the same crisis zone, where diplomatic failure likely sustains the conditions allowing for such attacks."
