😈 Devil's Advocate

The strongest argument against this prediction:

Iran may make partial concessions (allowing some ships) to avoid US strikes while saving face

⚠️ What Would Make This Wrong

Specific conditions that would invalidate this prediction:

  • Iran accepts modified terms allowing partial shipping
  • Backchannnel deal struck via Oman or China
  • Iran calculates US strikes as empty threat
  • Internal Iranian political shift favoring deal
  • Partial reopening counts as 'unrestricted'
