@EmmanuelMacron Maybe direct your comments to Israel and the US....perhaps you need to be reminded who started this disastrous conflict

أجريتُ لتوّي محادثة مع صاحب السمو الملكي الأمير محمد بن سلمان، وليّ عهد المملكة العربية السعودية.
وجدّدتُ له تضامنَ فرنسا والتزامَنا بالمساهمة في تعزيز الدفاعات الجوية السعودية، في وقت تتعرض فيه المملكة لهجمات متكررة وغير مقبولة بصواريخ وطائرات مسيّرة إيرانية.
وأمام خطر تصعيدٍ خارج عن السيطرة، بات من الضروري أكثر من أي وقت مضى أن تتفق جميع الأطراف المتحاربة على وقفٍ مؤقت للهجمات على منشآت الطاقة والبنى التحتية المدنية، وأن تعيد إيران حرية الملاحة في مضيق هرمز.
إنّ المرحلة تقتضي المسؤولية وضبط النفس، من أجل تهيئة الظروف لاستئناف الحوار، وهو وحده الكفيل بضمان السلام والأمن للجميع.
وفي هذه اللحظة الحرجة، ينبغي لمجموعة السبع ومجلس التعاون لدول الخليج العربية تعزيز تنسيقهما. وفرنسا والمملكة العربية السعودية تعملان معًا في هذا الاتجاه.

Stunning piece in Axios tonight, claiming that Trump's team has begun internal "game planning" on the outlines of a negotiated deal they plan to offer to Iran to end the war.
Its is as detached from reality as imaginable.
There are six major points so far, according to Axios, which claims any "deal to end the war would need to include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, address Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and also establish a long-term agreement on Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles and support for proxies in the region."
My first reaction was that we already had a majority of those terms, in hand, on 26 February after the third round of talks bt Witkoff and Aragchi, mediated by the Omani foreign minister. War could have been avoided all together, and Trump would have had a genuinely laudable diplomatic deal. Instead, he trashed the deal and launched a war of choice anyway.
I couldn't understand why Iran would again return to contemplate similar terms three weeks into a war, when I read the crucial part of the Axios report:
"Egypt and Qatar have informed the U.S. and Israel that Iran is interested in negotiating, but with very tough terms. The *Iranian demands* include a ceasefire, guarantees that the war will not resume in the future, *and compensation*."
Why does the Witkoff team in the White House think Iran will agree to submit to the same terms they offered, without war, three weeks ago, after having their former leader assassinated, scores of other leaders killed, massive damage to its air and naval forces, and thousands of its people killed?
As the article illustrates, Iran isn't interested in that.
To the contrary, they are issuing major demands of their own, at this point, and are no longer offering to end enrichment or curtailment of its missile forces. Instead, they're demanding reparations *from* the U.S.
Right now, Iran has huge leverage over the U.S. bc of the effective control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran likely has more capacity to suffer loss and privation than Trump has to suffer high oil prices for an extended period of time.
This is now a test of wills, Trump's and Iranian leadership's. The White House is acting like its in the driver's seat. Evidence suggests Tehran is in the dominant negotiating position. Time will tell how this test of wills plays out, bc to be sure, Iran is suffering significant material and personnel damage.
But they've suffered for decades, from 8 years of war with US-backed Iraq, and the last couple decades of sanctions and other attacks from US and Israel. Chances are high they can suffer longer than the U.S.
We'll see soon enough. My guess is these six points will go nowhere, and Iran won't be willing to budge on their demands, at least not in the near term. We'll all find out soon enough, however, how this plays out.

Heartwarming.
I am especially pleased the West is being forced to stop pretending Israel has no nuclear weapons.

@chrisluxonmp And your condemnation of the USA and Israel?....we're waiting.....see you at the next election...then we won't need to see you again.....

Attacks on fuel tankers and energy infrastructure in the Middle East are leading directly to higher fuel prices for Kiwis.
That’s why we have joined the United Kingdom and other countries in condemning Iran’s attacks in the Gulf. Iran has forced the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz to ships carrying fuel and other critical goods to places like New Zealand.
New Zealand has a longstanding record of working with like-minded partners to ensure open supply lines for global trade.
Obviously, any future decision for New Zealand to support multilateral efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would need to be considered by Cabinet.

The Israeli Strike Near Iran’s Reactor is an Ominous Signal
The US and Israel find themselves cornered with dwindling options and growing desperation.
This is evident in their attacks on Iran’s electrical grid and their calculated attempt to shift the Overton Window toward the nuclear threshold.
The statement by Trump advisor David Sacks, suggesting Israel could escalate the conflict with nuclear options, coincides with a missile strike landing just 350 meters from the Bushehr reactor.
This isn’t just a warning; it’s a veiled threat.
It’s a trial balloon designed to gauge the global reaction to such a catastrophic possibility.
A direct hit on an Iranian reactor would inevitably force Iran to retaliate against Dimona, leading us into a spiral of nuclear escalation, but what if Dimona be empty?
As global opinion is being tested, this "window" is being meticulously shifted and calibrated.
Currently, US-Israeli options, beyond aerial bombardment, include sector-specific ground operations. But what if these operations end in disaster?
Even a NATO intervention might change nothing. In Libya, European NATO forces depleted their ammunition in about 10 days during a low-intensity conflict.
Today, Rheinmetall claims European stockpiles are bone-dry. While I usually take Rheinmetall’s claims with a grain of salt, this time it actually makes sense.
We are looking at a scenario of severe ammunition shortages against a heavily entrenched and well-armed Iran.
Any landing operation would be a bloodbath. I believe that, faced with mounting internal and external failures, the US and Israel will gradually push the Overton Window to a choice between total defeat or the use of tactical nuclear weapons, in the event of a catastrophic failure of ground operations.
Tactical nuclear weapons are strictly forbidden for use, yet their radiation dissipates within weeks in the current environment.
Even so, it would constitute a grave war crime. I do not believe the U.S. would embark on such a path, but I cannot say the same for Israel.
Ending the war with Iran still possessing enriched uranium would be equivalent to admitting that Netanyahu, instead of increasing his people's security, did the exact opposite. The internal pressure would be immense.
If nothing goes as planned and the death toll rises, I feel this window can shift much faster.
