Assuming he means the IAEA, seems potentially positive he is mentioning alternative options for overseeing the disposition of Iran’s HEU than demanding it be sent to the US.

Xu Zhiyuan to @61LiuYi: “We’re living in a very exhausted era. People are facing an economic downturn, the uncertainty of international geopolitics and the…impact of AI all at once. People are in a deeply confused state, unable to find a direction.”

Russia fired its Oreshnik hypersonic missile at Ukraine last night - the third time ever.
Each one costs an estimated $30–50 million. The stockpile: a few dozen at most.
Target? A market and an opera house in Kyiv.
Putin is spending irreplaceable, strategic weapons on civilian terror. That's the act of a man losing this war.

Trump is now gravitating toward Iran’s prewar proposal about destroying its enriched uranium inside Iran under IAEA oversight after months of demanding US seize it.
Meanwhile, US naval clashes continue in Strait of Hormuz, Bandar Abbas & Qeshm areas to keep leverage on the deal.

“In the months since Maduro’s removal, Venezuela’s interim president and her influential brother have grown increasingly uncomfortable with Claver-Carone’s role, according to four people familiar with their thinking.
Venezuelan government officials apparently felt pressured by Claver-Carone to hire Centerview, according to six people familiar with the discussions. Claver-Carone adamantly insisted, in The Post interview, that he only assured Rodríguez, when asked, that it was a reputable U.S. firm with significant experience in Latin America.”

“I always joke,” Claver-Carone said, “you know people [say], ‘Hey, are you the Jared of Latin America?’ I’m like, ‘No, Jared is the Mauricio of the Middle East.’”

“The more significant point is that the exchange has now moved through multiple rounds of attack and counter-attack within a single 24-hour period. That pattern is harder to contain than a single incident.”

#Iran’s Account of the Latest Exchange of Fire with U.S. Forces 🔹CENTCOM confirmed overnight clashes with Iranian forces near the Strait of Hormuz, describing U.S. operations as defensive responses to unprovoked Iranian attacks. The statement provided limited details on the sequence of events or casualties. 🔹Iranian sources offer a different – and more detailed – account of what happened. According to that account, the exchange unfolded in several rounds over roughly 24 hours. 🔹It reportedly began when U.S. forces attacked two IRGC naval boats, killing four Iranian military personnel. Iran responded with anti-ship missiles targeting U.S. vessels. Iranian air defense systems then shot down at least one – some reports say three – U.S. drones operating in the area. 🔹The U.S. subsequently struck Iranian anti-ship missile launch sites and air defense systems. Iran responded again, firing multiple anti-ship missiles at U.S. vessels in the Arabian Sea. 🔹Independent verification of these claims – including the casualty figures and the extent of damage on both sides – remains limited. The competing narratives follow the familiar pattern in which each side frames its actions as a response to the other’s aggression. 🔹The more significant point is that the exchange has now moved through multiple rounds of attack and counter-attack within a single 24-hour period. That pattern is harder to contain than a single incident. It also raises the question of how this cycle interacts with the indirect negotiations currently underway…

Just in: “U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces, US CENTCOM spokesman told CNN in a statement Monday when asked about explosions reported around the Strait of Hormuz.
“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
