President Donald Trump’s 11th-hour decision comes after he escalated his threats to destroy the Iran’s infrastructure and talks appeared to stall.
Officials in the U.S. and Israel learned of an intriguing development on Monday, with President Trump's ultimatum looming: Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had instructed his negotiators, for the first time since the war began, to move towards a deal, according to an Israeli official, a regional official and a third source with knowledge. The big picture: As Trump was publicly threatening total annihilation, there were signs of diplomatic momentum behind the scenes — though even sources close to Trump didn't know which outcome to expect right up until a ceasefire was announced. - U.S. forces in the Middle East and officials in the Pentagon spent those closing hours preparing for a massive bombing campaign on Iranian infrastructure, and…

Foreign Affairs No 4D Chess: War With Iran Helps China Wannabe analysts depict the quagmire as a masterstroke. We’ve heard it all before. Pro-war MAGA commentators insist that every move President Donald Trump makes is a strategic masterstroke. The war with Iran is no exception.

Foreign Affairs Pope Leo, Bishop Robert Barron and the Iran War When Americans need to hear the Holy Father’s rebukes of the war, a prominent Catholic leader says the pope isn’t really talking about Iran. I was 28 when the U.S. invaded Iraq. As an antiwar, two-time Pat Buchanan voter, I opposed the war, and unfortunately, for my country and that region, time would prove me right. As a non-religious South Carolinian, I noticed that many of the evangelical churches I grew up around and their leaders were the most enthusiastic about the war. I thought that seemed not only wrong, but the opposite of my understanding of Jesus Christ.…Open

UK Special Coverage British Energy Policy Is Self-Defeating and Suicidal Destroying the UK’s economy won’t even advance the climate goals notionally being pursued. UK Special Coverage It is sometimes called “suicidal empathy”: a compulsion to damage one’s own wellbeing in pursuit of an ideal or a moral dogma. The UK government’s response to what is being called by the International Energy Agency the “worst energy crisis in history ” is perhaps a textbook example. Rather than compromise its schedule to achieve net zero, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is prepared to accelerate economic decline and impoverish UK…Open
