The #CampDavidAccords led to the Egypt-Israel treaty, signed #ThisDayInHistory in 1979. It led to Israeli withdrawal from a demilitarized #SinaiPeninsula, opening of the #SuezCanal & #StraitsOfTiran, an annual US bribe of free weapons to both parties, & to Sadat's assassination.
@welkin7 @Rastal @killbait #iran will not give up its control over #StraitOfHormuz. Just like #egypt didn't give up its control over #SuezCanal in 1956. You may reach an agreement where it will be "toll free" for a grace period. It will not return to be just another "international neutral waterway". This may also explain why Iran is singling out #uae in its attack on the gulf. They are on the other side of the strait.

#UnofficialDiaryDates #EverGiven #SuezCanal

The #EverGiven ran aground in the #SuezCanal on #ThisDayInHistory in 2021, remaining wedged there for six days. With bow & stern on opposite banks, it completely blocked traffic. The size of modern #ContainerShips creates unique challenges (Ever Given is 1300 ft long, 224k tons).
@lash that lesson was given before by #egypt against #british #empire in 1956 #SuezCanal crisis, by #IndoChina against French empire , and #afghanistan against Soviet empire. The lessons are there, but every empire thinks it's different this time, it won't happen to me ...etc
