N.B Iran observers:
For the USA to go as far as warming up to Eritrea, a country it long viewed as irrelevant... over its Red Sea oil corridor in this manner, I interpret this as a move forming part of an effort to soften the economic fallout that comes with accepting that "Epic Fury" will not achieve its Hormuz related objectives.
This despite no one in the Trump admin publicly admitting it. The good thing from this is it appears that the US is looking for alternatives from war with Iran.

So, we know the US has extended an olive branch to Asmara, because of a leaked document seen by Reuters. What we don't know is if there's any effort by the Trump admin to capitalize on an opportunity to learn about Ciham and rescue her. Is she even on the agenda?
