tRump announced a campaign to isolate Iran economically. Analysts stated that economic campaigns, rather than military action, was a way to stabilise the markets and keep oil prices down ahead of the midterms. Maybe military strikes in the Autumn?

The MOU was weak. tRump stated Iran should “put up the white flag of surrender”. However an IRGC commander was clear that Iran’s defensive posture was poised to shift to an offensive one under a new “maximum deterrence” policy. Nightmare continues

The most important weapon of choice for Iran is keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed. Despite what tRump stated earlier this week, data shows that transit through the Strait is at a standstill. tRump is not winning, the global economy is suffering

Day 157 of the US-Israel crisis with Iran.

\n

While tRump claimed talks with Iran were ongoing, the Iranians stated that said there were no plans to receive a delegation nor to send an Iranian one. Iran & Oman discussed the Strait of Hormuz. tRump’s not winning at all. Embarrassing

Day 156 of the US-Israel crisis with Iran.

\n

Here we go again: tRump cancelled planned attacks on Iran “subject to being able to rapidly make a deal”; while Oman & Iran were in the “final stages”, with talks on the future of the Strait of Hormuz. So no legally binding treaties then? SIGH

Day 155 of the US-Israel crisis with Iran.

\n

The US State Department issued travel warning for the entire Middle East region, advising Americans to consider leaving. Iran’s military stated US actions increasingly risked igniting regional conflict. Ominous rhetoric & increasing escalation

Day 154 of the US-Israel crisis with Iran.

\n

tRump stated the US would be hitting Iran “hard” in August. The IRGC targeted a US base in Kuwait in response to US attacks on Iran on 30 July. Tough decisions ahead then, as the US midterm elections loom. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed.

Day 153 of the US-Israel crisis with Iran.

\n

The IRGC stated it targeted US bases in Kuwait & Jordan after US attacks in Iran. Iran confirmed that talks with Omani officials were ongoing over the Strait of Hormuz. It is getting harder to see a diplomatic path out of this nightmare.
