🇺🇸🇮🇷 The ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is still holding, but it’s one miscalculation away from collapsing… The core problem is neither side has an accurate read on the other's real strength or weakness, and both are operating with a level of confidence the facts don’t support. Iran's new Supreme Leader, still not seen in public and believed to be injured and in hiding, declared there will be no nuclear concessions, no free passage through Hormuz, and no U.S. presence accepted in the Middle East. The kind of statement you make when you think you hold all the cards. But he doesn’t: the rial is collapsing again, the IRGC's top commanders are dead, its air defenses are destroyed, and the regime is sitting on an economic catastrophe it has no realistic plan to fix. Trump is making mirror-image errors, claiming the war is already won, Iran's military destroyed, its nuclear program obliterated, none of which is accurate. Trump's Project Freedom convoy tested Hormuz, and Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on UAE oil infrastructure… The U.S. sank 7 Iranian boats, while 2 ships got through at enormous cost and risk. That’s not a breakthrough, it’s a preview of what reopening the Strait actually would look like. The ancient Greeks had a word for this kind of dangerous overconfidence: hubris, an offense of pride that ancient Athenian law treated as a crime. A war born of hubris, still being managed with hubris, is only one further mistake away from reigniting. Source: Bloomberg
