Amos Hochstein, former White House senior advisor, argues that the US-Iran negotiations are focused on a narrow MOU to open the Strait of Hormuz, not the grand deal touted publicly. He warns that Wall Street's optimism is misplaced, as oil inventories are drawing down rapidly and will hit a critical cliff by late June, after which leverage shifts to Iran. He sees the best-case scenario as a JCPOA-like deal, not a transformative peace.
