Yes it happened a month ago.
Why can’t we just “walk away”?
Iran wants reparations.
I get that, but would the US have to pay if we just leave and drop it? They could close the Strait but they can do that even if we do pay.
Yes. We have to pay. We attacked them unprovoked, committed heinous war crimes, and now we must pay.
I agree with the part in bold, but don’t quite see why the US would pay have to pay reparations if we just left. Ethically, we probably should, but that’s not my question.
Because Iran then would close the SOH leading to pandemonium. That economic and political pain would be much worse than working out an agreement. Leading up to the MOU Trump was desperate for a deal and was too weak to push back to Iran's demands that included reparations.
What would guarantee that they wouldn’t just close it again? “We want another $100b, Strait is closed”.
You are correct that Iran could threaten again. In that scenario, other countries with better ties to Iran (China, Russia?) could tell them to cool it.
The JCPOA had other countries on board (including China and Russia) to collectively restrain Iran.

Michael Boulos, a businessman, has no government role other than being the president's son-in-law (which is not a government role)

This isn’t just oddly inappropriate. It suggests that the ongoing Middle East negotiations are intertwined with private profit-making opportunities for the Trump family.
