Well yes, that could be part of the peace deal - some income for Iran for straight access. I don’t think the U.S. cares about that as long as it’s not exorbitant and everyone has access. And yes the iran government will want to survive which is why they can’t take sanctions forever. I’m not sure what you think was a lie about nukes. Clearly Iran has been developing nuclear tech. The ‘two weeks away’ was probably bs. But in general there is evidence and a pretty clear motive for them to be making nukes.
Well the ability to close the straight is what gives Iran leverage. So any peace deal is implicitly backed by the threat to close the straight if the U.S. gets trigger happy. And similarly, if Iran blocks the straight, the U.S. would drop some more bombs on Iran. I think both side would like to go back to how it was before. But they both have to save face. And not be fucking morons. Which is difficult to arrange.
Full scale war is bad for everyone. You can argue who it’s worse for, but comparing dollars to people is pretty disgusting. It’s just bad for everyone. And in this case, peace is better for everyone. So we’ll probably get there eventually. Either that or one side will obliterate the other.

The control of the straight is the only way stopping the USA to return to full scale war

Leverage to not return to full-scale war At worst it will continue to be tit for tat

Full scale war is bad for Iran , the USA want a full scale war but can’t because Iran control the straight .
