US, Greenland, Denmark to sign tripartite security pact reviving Cold War-era rules

The US and Denmark have finalized a security agreement granting the US permanent security control over Greenland, resolving a prior annexation crisis and formalizing US strategic positioning in the Arctic. Concurrently, Iran has reiterated its condition that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US meets unspecified demands, signaling a hardline stance in ongoing negotiations. While the Greenland agreement de-escalates a transatlantic rift, Iran's threats maintain high geopolitical risk in the Middle East.
