It would require an act of faith over reason to see any real dynamic for a negotiated accord pertinent to navigation in the straight of Hormuz before the US midterm elections.
Past super Tuesday 2026 a comprehensive treaty should have the BRICS and Europeans to cosign it, to be really effective.
Properly crafted it could be a comprehensive agreement for navigation other straights or canals for worldwide trade.

Comment: Between Caviar and Big-Mac, it must be a "reasonable place" for croque-monsieur or croque-madame !
Quantity in aerospace is no substitute for quality.
Should not the first step beefing-up massive training for scientists, engineers and technicians in order to perform well in space technologies?
Current and future PM's and presidents could benefit from these trainings too !

Aux USA on propose depuis longtemps d'ajouter au bulletin de vote "NOTA" ("None of the above" ou "Aucun des candidats ci-dessus" et de les compter, pour évaluer le poids d'un mandat électif. Il va sans dire que J'y souscris, mais les politiques n'aiment pas trop... on se demande bien pourquoi !

"mais mieux vaut ne rien faire"
Un retour au système parlementaire, a la façon des "brits", scandinaves, ou même helvétique serait un énorme progrès !
"Oscar Spingler (allemand) dénonce les problèmes inhérents au "Césarisme", le français Macron, comme états-unien Trump en fournissent d'excellent exemples.
Au Royaume Uni, Elizabeth Truss, comme PM (Prime Minister) a dure six semaines...
Le système parlementaire est moins apte au pouvoir vertical que le système présidentiel
