Here's the latest
• Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s military says restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz are being reimposed, alleging “repeated breaches of trust” by the US. The speaker of Iran’s parliament had said the strait would close again if the US did not lift its naval blockade.

• New round of talks: Meanwhile, US and Iranian delegations are set to hold negotiations Monday to end the war, Iranian sources told CNN. The US hasn’t confirmed talks are scheduled. President Donald Trump says he may not extend the ceasefire with Iran if negotiations fail.

• Lebanon ceasefire: Israel will impose a “yellow line”, also used in Gaza, barring residents from returning to 55 occupied villages, according to Israeli military officials. Some had begun heading home as the truce took effect.

What we do know is that Iran keeps a pretty close eye on U.S. media, and there's no shortage of stories about how Trump, his family, and his cronies are makin' the big bucks off of this, so sure...I could see Iran "joining in on the fun."
