Trump claims Strait of Hormuz is reopening, Tehran has not confirmed, and the deal's shape is still opaque

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is reopening and a war is ending. Iran says it will be paid to manage the waterway and its defences are off the table. The signatures match; the narratives do not.

Desk note: where the wires led with Trump's signing remarks as the headline, Monexus led with the asymmetry: the same document, the same hour, but the Iranian read on it (payment for services, defensive capabilities untouched) and the American read on it (war ended, Strait open) describe two different deals. The piece foregrounds the gap, then inventories the fragmentary text against the questions it does not answer.
