What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • How neighboring countries and the international community will respond to this threat.
  • Whether this warning will deter allies of the United States from enforcing the sanctions.
  • Whether the warning or the new sanctions will deter U.S. allies from enforcing them.
  • Whether the ship strike in the Strait of Hormuz was directly linked to the announcement of the U.S. sanctions.
