⚡U.S. intelligence believes the latest American strikes are unlikely to make Iran soften its negotiating position.

Instead, analysts see the two countries settling into a prolonged stalemate, with ongoing military attacks but little chance of either side gaining a decisive advantage.

The assessment also says Iran's leadership remains focused on regime survival and is willing to absorb significant military and economic costs rather than make major concessions.

⚡Trump:

I had a very good conversation with the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Andy Burnham.

We discussed many subjects, including the outstanding relationship we have had with the UK. We will be meeting in the not too distant future for topics of mutual interest.

The Prime Minister has got a big job ahead of him, but he will be able to do it and, of course, the U.S.A. will be there to help!

We discussed North Sea Oil, Trade, the Military Alliance, Demining of the Hormuz Strait, and many other topics. The call was interesting, and went very well. I wished Prime Minister Burnham,

GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED!

What we've got to do is get this thing over. One of the reasons it isn't over is that Putin doesn't really know from the West what we want.

As long as Putin still thinks there's a chance that he can keep Ukraine ambiguous, he'll keep attacking.

⚡Former UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace:

I recommended to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government that he help Ukraine. Isreal declined saying they didn’t want to upset Russia.

So Russia kept spending nearly $1 bn+ on Iranian drones. Now ordinary Israelis have to face the consequences of Netanyahus judgement.

Since the invasion of Ukraine Isreal has welcomed all the dirty Russia money and crooks. A sad decline for a once decent Country.
