EA on International Outlets: Trump’s Visit to China Can’t Fix His War on Iran
I joined Monocle Radio’s Emma Nelson on Friday morning to examine the state of an Iran proposal to end the US-Israel War.
I detail the Iranian terms, which focus on the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions, and a long-term ceasefire, leaving Tehran’s nuclear program to a later stage.
I explain why the Trump camp, with no apparent military options left for “regime surrender”, may have to accept negotiations on that basis.
I also note that Israel cannot continue its assault, including targeted assassinations, but may have to settle for a long-term occupation of southern Lebanon.
