US-Iran ceasefire fails to address Strait of Hormuz tensions
A ceasefire between the US and Iran has been reached, but it does not resolve the underlying fires in the Strait of Hormuz. The US blockade is described as war by another name and must end. Two additional changes are required for the ceasefire to evolve into genuine diplomacy. The article, published in the South China Morning Post's opinion section, argues that the current agreement merely papers over deeper conflicts.
