From the report

US President Donald Trump has declared Iran only came forward with a deal that would have quickly opened the Strait of Hormuz because it's "losing" badly.

This is a summary. The indicators are not. The scores were measured over this summary alone, which is less of the article than we would like and makes them less certain.
