1. Negotiations have never gone well,

I believe what Iran is saying not what Krasnov is saying.

The negotiations were nothing more than Kabuki Theater. When you have a civilian Iranian official doing the negotiations any agreement then has to go through the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and they don't want an agreement, contrary to what Krasnov claims.

I see that 300 ships have agreed to the toll to pass through Hormuz, Krasnov made Iran relevant in the world.

Krasnov's saying that negotiations are going well just gives a talking point to the fossil fuel billionaires to keep the price of oil/gas reasonable.

Crude oil should be well over $100/barrel right now. If Hormuz is still closed on the 4th of July then crude will get close to $150/barrel, or do Krasnov's fossil fuel friends want to cut back on their profits to protect him?
