Under international law, transit through waterways like the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and free of charge. This is what leaders made clear in their call on reopening the Strait today. Any pay-for-passage scheme will set a dangerous precedent for global maritime routes. Iran has to abandon any plan to levy transit fees. Europe will play its part in restoring the free flow of energy and trade, once a ceasefire takes hold. The EU’s Aspides naval mission is already operating in the Red Sea and can be quickly strengthened to protect shipping across the region. This could be the fastest way to provide support.

ينحدر من عائلة تربطها علاقات وثيقة بإسرائيل.. جده ساهم في توطين اللاجئين اليهود في أرض فلسطين. نواف سلام، رئيس حكومة لبنان الذي يسعى لتسليمها على طبق من ذهب لنتنياهو.

My friend, don't underestimate my contribution to the security of Israel and the United States in the campaign against Iran. Unlike you, I have also practicality operated in the field (even as a major belive it or not) and I am familiar with the limits of power when dealing with Tehran. As I wrote, I understand the frustration well and I’m certainly not angry. One does not judge a person in their moment of distress.I understand the shock that comes with realizing the gap between what is written in a theoretical or your imagined world and what actually happens in reality. It has happened even to those far more experienced than you. That said, to my colleagues who are analysts of the Iranian arena that knows Iran, I say this: this is how total meltdown looks like. Those whose entire professional life focus has been the campaign against Iran, and who are now realizing how flawed their strategy was, are looking scapegoat to blame. If I were in their position, I would be concerned about what comes next, and what they will do the day after, when it becomes clear that their entire professional lives were built on illusions. It’s not an easy, I am sure of that. I wish them all the best, and I would suggest they leave the Iranian analysis arena to true experts before continuing to offer misguided advice. Stay safe Richard. You have my deepest sympathy.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu: “We are forming alliances with Arab countries that are talking about fighting alongside us. In the past, I had secret conversations with Arab leaders. I told them, the moment Iran is able to, they will conquer you and topple your kingdoms. Back then, they didn’t really internalize this, today, they understand.”
