How left and right are reading this

Both agree: Renewed strikes around the Strait of Hormuz have jeopardized shipping, raised oil prices, and left any path back to negotiations uncertain.
The split: They split on whether force is closing diplomacy or protecting it.

This isn't mainly about one broken ceasefire — it's about whether military pressure secures diplomacy or smothers it.

The Facts

The United States and Iran exchanged new military strikes after attacks on commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. military said it launched strikes on targets in Iran in response to attacks on commercial shipping that Washington blamed on Iran.
Iran said it responded by attacking U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait.
The United States reinstated or revoked waivers on sanctions affecting Iranian oil sales as tensions escalated.
The earlier ceasefire or interim agreement had been intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping and allow further negotiations toward ending the conflict.
Oil prices rose after Trump's comments and the renewed fighting, reflecting concern about disruption around the Strait of Hormuz.
It remains unclear whether diplomacy will continue, because Trump said the ceasefire was over while also saying U.S. negotiators could keep talking with Iran.
