The simultaneity was not coincidence so much as condition: diplomacy and coercion have always coexisted in this region, each one testing the other's sincerity.

Trump pursues diplomatic rapprochement with Iran including Strait of Hormuz access, but faces significant opposition from hawkish Republican allies (Levin, Graham, Wicker), weakening negotiating position.
