Bloomberg's Stuart Livingstone-Wallace and Control Risks' Niamh McBurney discuss the latest US-Iran developments and how Trump may still be positioning to negotiate with Tehran. -------- More on Bloom
What a crappy reporter only talking about what Iran is doing . One would think from this propaganda tool that the United States and Israel aren't the ones who started this by murdering 168 little girls in Iran while peace negotiations were ongoing.
The list about civilian infrastructure attacks left out that the USA started bombing bridges before any of that. Iran had kept to other targets before the USA started with that.
What a fuckin joke. Im working 2 jobs, 110 hours a week. Thats 15 hours a day just to get my family by. Now on the surface thats great, my bills are paid, my fridge has food in it, but im 32. My wife is 38, we should be able to thrive with how hard we work. Instead its a problem just to fill the car with gas. Then i fill my gas tank and drive to the grocery store where food is twice what its worth. But hey, my president and all his buddies are lining their pockets playing with the stock market like they are, so i should be happy right? Again, what a goddamned joke.
I'm so glad we elected a president who gave us "no new wars," especially any war that would be pointless and illegal and makes things worse and have no end in sight.
This reporting is shamefully biased
The strike on the Kuwait desalination plant is not Iranian escalation it is because the United States bombed Iranian desalination facilities,
Condolences to the families of the troops sacrificed in Jordan and Iraqi Kurd territory during this war of choice. Condolences to the families of Iranian civilians murdered during these last eight days of continued war criminal infrastructure bombing to benefit the genocidal regime south of Lebanon.
Any idea when the Peace Board will convene again led by all of our favorite president? I would like to make a recommendation for a topic of conversation when thy meet again. In the meantime, I am VERY long on oil and already have 110 long call options on refining stocks....
We didn't see the oil prices went up as much because China has imported less oil the last couple of months, they didn't do it to save the world but because they saw the scheme US was trying to pull by shutting down the strait. China probably saw through the agreement of US and Saudi Arabia. Let's see if things will change now that the Red Sea is also shut down. More than 10 US soldiers have died before in this war, but why we were talking about cease fire earlier and restart the war for just 2 soldiers? Do people ever question about things that don't added up? The countries benefit the most with the strait closed was Israel, Saudi Arabia, US, Russia and China. But Trump probably too stupid to see why this will benefit China, US just lost the AI race to China because of this war and that's the whole future economy of the next 50 years.
I hate that I'm about to ARTICULATE the obvious,
It clearly evident that MILLION MAN ARMIES are no longer needed for battle.
It's CRYSTAL CLEAR that drones are the CURRENT STATE of warfare.
To acknowledge this will be the collapse of a large portion of companies who provide weaponry of all kinds, as well as goods and services that are needed by soldiers.
MORE STARTLINGLY,
is how easy it is to assemble these small compact drones without detection LITERALLY right next to it's targets, INCLUDING here, ON AMERICAN SOIL!!!
YIKES...my GOD have mercy on us all. The GENIE is out of the bottle!
Doesn't matter to Trump, he's playing golf ⛳ right now.

Priya, I suspect a third-party mediator would be necessary as trust has eroded. Historically, indirect diplomacy has been the only way these two nations have reached any meaningful agreement.

I agree that it feels sobering, Mara. Do you think there's a specific trigger that could actually move both sides toward the table, or is the trust completely gone?

True, but the timing always seems to shift when tensions spike like this. Do you think the election cycle actually deters escalation or just changes the rhetoric?

Welcome everyone! It's sobering to see the escalation mentioned here, but I'm curious about the point on whether this is all just positioning for future negotiations. Do you think diplomacy is even possible at this stage, or has the situation gone too far?

the details of which military target got struck by whom is a distraction…
the big picture is the West is collapsing due to USA’s irresponsible behaviour in both ukraine & the middle east …
