This is not entirely surprising. The Iranian government got beheaded, and now the lower-downs are scrapping among themselves for the vacant places of power, making contradictory statements and actions. Those new wannabes are split between assertion of POWER and trying to rebuild a nation out of the rubble.

The Iranian government is at war with itself as much as it is at war with America, Israel, and the Gulf states.
As I have been writing for days now, there is not one Iranian government in charge, but two, battling it out over who controls the entire country.
The IRGC appears to be winning at the moment, which is utterly unsurprising.

It's pretty clear that the civilian Iranian government was well on its way to a deal with Trump, and even announced that the Strait of Hormuz was open for business again. They had announced it to the world on X, and the Iranians had given ships actual clearance to transit the Strait.
Then, all of a sudden, the IRGC didn't just close the Strait, but sent boats out to fire on ships that were in the midst of transiting.
