though tensions between the two allies have grown sour amid mounting U.S. concerns

Should be ...relations between the two allies have grown sour amid..., or ...tensions between the two allies have grown amid....

"tensions" growing sour makes no sense though. Are there sweet international tensions?

Can really see the deteriorating quality of journalism in the writing used. They're being paid for this. Supposedly anyway.

Could just be a way of saying, like, tensions have grown worse. When things sour, they get worse. Unless it's sour cream. Or citrus. Or pickles.

I dunno I'm not a linguist.
