Larry Johnson tracks the machinery behind the threats.
Per his sourcing, the deconfliction cell that keeps US and allied aircraft untangled mid-operation is being pulled out of the region, and the crisis action teams activated before February 28 have never been reconstituted.
Real operations run on that plumbing.
Its absence, he argues, means the path is still withdrawal, whatever the podium says.
He gave the "rogue elements" theory the same treatment.
Axios reported mediators believe MOU opponents inside Iran struck those ships.
Larry pulled up the published protocols: any vessel that skips Iran's application gets denied passage or fired on.
Paragraph five enforcement, spelled out in black and white, requires no rogues.
The bigger moment lands tomorrow.
Tasnim says the new Supreme Leader will lead commemorative prayers at Qom, his first public appearance, with Israel's death threat still hanging in the air.
And on the WSJ report of a fresh Iranian plot against Trump, Larry's logic ran opposite: a country working to push America out of the Gulf doesn't hand Washington a reason to return.
The ledger underneath it all: 60 MILLION barrels exported in three weeks per Windward Intelligence, 10 million of them in a single night.
