According to Amit segal

this is the proposal US is offering to discuss

Iran commits to a 15-year enrichment suspension, with the exception of research reactors for medical isotopes c

Iran’s stockpile of 60% and 20% enriched uranium would be partially converted to reactor fuel, and partially ‘downblended’ to a lower enrichment level. However, it won’t leave Iran.

IAEA supervison on nuclear sites. Same as ObamaDeal

Opening the Strait of Hormuz, with the possibility of collecting tolls.

The U.S. will offer Iran phased sanctions relief. Same as ObamaDeal
The U.S. will unfreeze all Iranian assets currently frozen abroad, starting with $20 Billion till they reach all $100 bn

The U.S. will commit to a non-aggression pact with Iran that is ensured through a UN National Security Council resolution and a treaty ratified by Congress.
The U.S. may Downsize its military forces in Persian Gulf.

WELP THIS DOES IT, i doubt talks will happen now

US NAVY attacked Iranian tanker that was exiting the gulf

Thats one way to say the US blockade has been purely performantive for the past week, which TankerTracker already reported.

Then again its a Trump tweet, not a military press release, so it could also be "embellished".

LMAO they had to actually use naval guns up close, which implies
1 - Iranian reports were probably true that US attempted to board via helicopter but were repulsed by Iranian forces onboard.
2 - The whole idea of US naval blockade ain't gonna work if US has to do it 19th century style because they removed Harpoons and can't spare / don't have enough NSMs.
3 - US don't have nearly enough ships or missiles to target Iranian ships elsewhere.
4 - TOUSKA is 50 km off Iranian coast, which means that Burke has to run out of there the moment ceasefire ends, i.e. their blockade falls apart the moment shots are fired.

It's not the 19th century anymore, gun isn't even remotely the instrument of choice because if you have to sail up to within 1 nautical mile to interdict a ship and you only got 1-2 DDG in region you aren't interdicting any ship even if you maintain 30 knots. You either use helicopters or you use ASMs, if you can't do the former because of resistance and can't afford the latter, don't pretend to be a naval power.

Do you realize while they were doing 19th century gun fight with this ship, another Iranian tanker sailed right by? They don't even have enough ships to interdict Iranian ships in the same 5 mile area.
They will have to attepmt a blockage and conducting Inspection on board on a 345km line with only 12 ships. Not to mention logistics, possibility IRGC militants onboard situation.
