IMPORTANT
Iran has placed GPS jammers on Iran-controlled Abu Musa Island, close to the Strait of Hormuz entrance, intending to force ships to mistakenly wander into Iranian waters, providing Iran a pretext to seize them.

@rabrowne75 @barbarastarrcnn "Ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf have reported unusual GPS interference, among other problems, and the US believes Iran is to blame."

@rabrowne75 @barbarastarrcnn Following reports of GPS interference in the Persian Gulf, a reminder of reports from Iran on Aug 2.
A column of military equipment was reportedly transferred from Caspian ports into Iran.
Reports say the electronic warfare equipment could include Russian "Krasuha-4" & "R-330ZH".
R-330ZH is used for "jamming base stations of cellular communication standard GSM 1900 consumer navigation equipment jamming of satellite communications systems NAVSTAR (GPS)."

#BREAKING
Missiles & ammo that exploded in a southern Baghdad base on Monday belonged to "a neighboring country", according to former Iraqi PM Baha al-Araji.

My take:
"neighboring country" means #Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
#BREAKING
24 militia members and dozens of other Iraqi PMF/PMU members, #Iran's IRGC officers and Hezbollah members were killed and injured during Monday's massive explosions at an Iraqi Shiite militia base in southern Baghdad, according to an Iraqi military official

1. Trump is being misled by his advisors. Yes, #Iran does want to talk to the U.S. But that is because over the last few months Iran's leaders have assessed themselves to be in a position of strength, shrugging off "maximum pressure" sanctions.

That's actually a good thing...
2. "Maximum pressure" started in earnest in November after 11 months of Iran's currency losing value, of inflation rising, and of foreign companies pulling out of the market. It looked like Iran's economy could be pushed into a spiral by the return of secondary sanctions.
3. But over the last three months, Iran's currency has regained value, inflation has slowed, and Iran's has begun to export oil to China in defiance of US sanctions. Regional trade has grown significantly and Iran is sourcing plenty of hard currency (USD!) to grease its economy.

On the 7th of July, we shall be facing a critical situation:
. #Iran will exert its right to partially or fully withdraw from the nuclear deal as stated in the comprehensive document.
. #US pushed Iran to leave the deal and would like to see Iran making this particular move
2/+
. #US is unlikely to stand down and will push media to point out the finger of blame on #Iran
. Iran can't pull back and its procedure of withdrawal will be gradual and will give a second ultimatum after implementing the first on next month. Iran won't stand down.
3/+
. #Iran warned: if my oil and petrochemical products can't be sold, the 17 million barrel of oil per day won't cross the Strait of Hormuz. This promise will be gradually increased and implemented.

What are the most likely scenarios?
