Iran War has entered a new phase. I have discussed: 1. Was this war inevitable? 2. Why did Trump agree on the deal instead of following Netanyahu's plan? 3. I have discussed geopolitical, economic, and power politics angles. Here is the full video 👇 youtu.be/CZTRtmmKIGI

@DerekJGrossman Map shown in this emblem doesn't include India. It only has East Asia states. Maybe Trump doesn't want to focus on India. There is another possibility: QUAD is a failure in the US books as India doesn't call China a rival . That's why Indian Ocean is not a priority for the US.

PACOM is back, and yes it’s silly that Trump 1.0 changed it to INDOPACOM and then Trump 2.0 reversed his own decision, but I think there’s more happening here: Trump 2.0 is actively rethinking “Indo-Pacific” as a geostrategic frame. Indeed, it has already used “Asia-Pacific” several times in official readouts. This strongly suggests a less hawky approach toward China in favor of greater engagement.

@trtworld World order has changed since the Iran War. Every Gulf state will be looking for alternatives now.

Türkiye and Saudi Arabia signed a new transport and railway co-operation agreement on June 9, advancing plans to modernise the historic Hejaz Railway and potentially extend it to Oman. The agreement aims to create a new trade corridor linking the Arabian Peninsula to the Indian Ocean and provide an alternative route to the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, which is the most critical energy bottleneck in the world and currently under pressure due to the US war on Iran

@Sykl113807 @WallieF20103 @IranObserver0 Thanks for correction

@ArsVox_analysis @WallieF20103 @IranObserver0 The Shah expelled his father, the previous Shah, who then died abroad. He was not assassinated.

⚡️BREAKING: JD Vance says Trump never wanted Reza Pahlavi "President Trump never said that his goal was to install Reza Pahlavi to become leader of Iran"

@CannedDock @Osint613 We saved you from a war that you have lost. So, be thankful to "shit hole countries" that have saved your face from humiliation.

@ArsVox_analysis @Osint613 We don’t need the opinions of people from shit hole countries

Trump reacted to the UAE president speaking softly during their meeting, saying: "See, when you're that rich, you can speak that low. I was wondering, can anybody hear that? But when you're so rich, you have such confidence, you don't have to do any strain to the voice."

@SenWarren Interesting

Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor. Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails. My wealth tax would level the playing field. Let's get it done.

@WallieF20103 @IranObserver0 That makes sense. But if we look at the history, it was the US that installed Shah in the late 1940s. An interesting point is that Shah assassinated his father to claim the throne, and the US backed him then.

@ArsVox_analysis @IranObserver0 Iranian people would most likely prefer Rubio over the brain dead Pahlavi.

Sand is the new oil. Now, every country needs angular sand for making chips, solar penals, and whatnot. So, sand has become a part of the ongoing resource war in the world. youtube.com/shorts/ZImqVnX…

@mog_china In Egypt: I'm a strong man, I'm a warrior. I'm a general. In G7: Can I beg your attention, please?

🔴ماكرون ينبّه ترامب إلى الرئيس السيسي.. والرئيسان الأمريكي والفرنسي ينهضان لمصافحته.

@vonderleyen @POTUS EU was one of the forces compelling Trump to make a deal with Iran. EU foreign policy chief visited Pakistan to extend its support for peace deal. EU was desperate because it wanted to resolve its energy crisis and make the US refocus on the Ukraine War.

In Évian, I congratulated @POTUS on his agreement with Iran. We both agree that it should mean a definitive end to Iran's nuclear programme. The Strait will reopen. Oil prices are falling. And that's how diplomacy delivers.

@AdityaRajKaul My friends tell Modi that diplomacy is quite something else from "sweet moments." Maybe he can take notes from his neighbours.

Modi and Meloni at G7 France discuss their peak Instagram #Melody moment when they had met in Italy not so long ago.

@RT_com Trump formula: 1. Become president 2. Roost the 8 billion people 3. End of list

When you are that rich, you can speak that low — Trump on UAE's Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan 'I was just wondering, can anybody hear that?' 'But when you're so rich, you have such confidence that you don't have to do any strain to the voice'

President Trump is sitting a few miles away from Geneva, attending the G7 meeting in Lake Geneva. He may attend the Iran-US Peace Deal ceremony, being hosted by Pakistan on June 19 in Geneva.

Why is Gen Z leaning towards socialism? My take 👇 youtube.com/shorts/cRKQYc_…

@antonioguterres Congratulate for what? 1. stop fighting? 2. failure of the UN? 3. Reaching a deal after bringing the world to energy crisis? MR Sec Gen, YOUR TWEET IS IRRELEVANT LIKE THE UN.

I warmly congratulate the US & Iran for having reached a peace deal that provides for an immediate & permanent ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a framework for further negotiations. This represents a critical step towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict. My deep appreciation goes to Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and other regional countries, for the constructive role played in supporting the negotiations that led to the peace deal.

A case study for modern-day diplomacy: 1. 🇵🇰 has done what the major powers have failed to do. An 🤝 b/w 🇮🇷 and the US was an arduous task. 2. Peace and stability are what the world needs, and Pak has played an excellent role in ensuring that.

@CMShehbaz It's a historic day for the world. Peace and energy security are what the world needs. 🇵🇰 has played an exceptional role in modern-day diplomacy. It has successfully convinced both sides to come to an agreement. 10/10 for doing this job.

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland. We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard. With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi
