"Event 14 describes the China-mediated ceasefire agreement that averted a full closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The new event is the direct implementation of the terms of this agreement, where Iran imposes specific vessel restrictions (15 daily) as the agreed-upon compromise rather than a total blockade."
"Event 3 reports the exact same restriction (15-vessel daily cap) under IRGC supervision. The new event appears to be a subsequent report or clarification of the same event, adding the context of the US ceasefire deal and the Russian reporting source, indicating they describe the same causal reality."
"Event 4 involves a threat to close the Strait contingent on US aggression. The new event represents the materialization of this threat into a specific, actionable restriction, escalating from a diplomatic warning to an enforced economic measure under the guise of a ceasefire."
