6. Suggests he wants an out. This is good.

I'd take the offer under condition he leave Hormuz, but that's just me. He may just decide he's embarrassed enough to make a scene there, and no one wants that.

I don't think anyone should "own" Hormuz, but I'd prefer anyone over the US or Iran at this point.

Speaking of anyone... Anyone remember the Bikini Atoll Tests? Does make me wonder if a really big bomb would detonate all their mines and fry their electronics.

Certainly not recommending nukes to clear it, but if I can think of it, I do wonder if that's in anyone's book of Plan B's to clear it. I know mines can be set off a great many different ways deliberately, but no idea on how susceptable they are to being "made" to go off.
