With whom, exactly, did the Pentagon reach this agreement? They wouldn't "agree" with Trump, as CinC, he gives orders, not requests.

So, was it Israel? Saudi Arabia? Qatar? UAE? Other Gulf countries? All or some of the above?

And, I heard on MSNOW last night that some European countries are now trying to cut their own seperate deals with Iran for safe passage of their ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
