Israel's ongoing campaign against Iran's Lebanese ally, armed group Hezbollah, threatened to derail the talks before they've even started. Hezbollah is a direct ally and proxy of Iran, while the nation of Lebanon is a country heavily influenced and often compromised by that alliance. Hezbollah...

Hungarians are going to the polls in large numbers, in a vote that could bring down Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after 16 years and have significant repercussions for the rest of Europe, the US and Russia. Most polls favour Péter Magyar, who formed a grassroots party, Tisza, after splitting from...

Each side blamed the other for the failure of the 21-hour negotiations to end fighting that ‌has killed thousands, roiled the global economy and sent oil prices soaring since it began more than six weeks ago. Iran's Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who led his country's delegation...

Donald Trump said that "deep negotiations" were underway but in a combative interaction with reporters Saturday, the president contended he did not care about the outcome, insisting the United States had already triumphed on the battlefield by killing Iranian leaders and destroying key military...

Unconstrained? Independent? Autonomous? Many Cubans seek a future that is neither the current repressive government nor a return to pre-1959 levels of American influence, favouring instead a functional, sovereign, and free nation…of their own...

Well, if that’s the case, then exposing the ones protecting them for what they actually are doing…at least that’s something. Can’t see that happening either but…

No idea, but that’s a good possibility. Maybe it’s more that Oman is physically small & wants the American base there to remain there as a deterrent to Iran & its other neighbours, and that might change if it sides with Iran in this global economic hostage situation with the Strait of Hormuz?

Yet? Thought it was done already. Iran and Oman are discussing a potential agreement for shared management of the Strait of Hormuz, with reports suggesting a potential joint venture to charge transit fees on vessels following a two-week ceasefire, according to sources. While Iran aims for a deal...

Closer than their neighbours anyway.

Iranian state media reported that technical discussions began after progress was made in reducing attacks in southern Lebanon = against Hezbollah. Look at the borders of “Oman” here. Oman has the point, & an agreement with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

Assuming whatever has happened today has already happened in these negotiations.

Ultimately, worded diplomatically, while the attempt at dialogue is objectively a step away from escalating conflict, the effectiveness of these specific individuals (Witkoff & Kushner) is widely doubted by Iranian officials and some analysts. Previous talks led by Witkoff and Kushner did not...

Of coarse they are. The U.S. delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance and including President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, landed in two U.S. ‌Air Force planes at an air base in Islamabad on Saturday morning, where they were received by...
