JD Vance had a weekend from hell - Orbán defeated and no deal with Iran. The VP’s failed mission underscored that Trump’s brand in the world is in retreat. With the blockade, energy prices spiking, and attacks on the Pope, Trump faces weeks of hell. @smh @theage. BW @USSC.



Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Secretary Rubio to advise him to evacuate US citizens and diplomats from Kyiv, as the Kremlin plans to continue heavy strikes on the Ukrainian capital, according to a statement published by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

According to my sources, the draft proposal that’s supposed to be finalised include: -End of war on all fronts including Lebanon -Freeing several billion dollars of Iran's blocked funds -Lifting the U.S. naval blockade and opening the strait of Hormuz -Withdrawal of American forces from the immediate vicinity of Iran After this, the parties will have 30 days to agree on the nuclear issue. These 30 days can be extended by mutual agreement. During these thirty days, passage will be facilitated through the strait. According to Iran, management of the Strait of Hormuz will be an Iranian-Omani issue, and is being negotiated with Muscat.
