Here is the full text of Iran/US MOU Deal

The agreement between Iran and the US lays out the terms of the ceasefire between the bitter rivals, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, some financial relief for Iran and a reiteration from Tehran that it will never produce a nuclear weapon, according to a draft copy of the text obtained by CNN. The 14-point memorandum of understanding has not yet been officially released but a copy of it…

Iran deal will leave things almost exactly as they were before feckless war of choice started

If we get to a Friday signing ceremony without this uncertain new US-Iran deal being derailed by any of its inherent ambiguities, then nuclear talks can finally restart in the same place – and at almost exactly the same point they were before this conflict started. The world will have irrevocably been changed in other ways. There is no going back for the 120 Iranian children in Minab killed in…

Republicans rebel against the proposed "absurd" Iran deal

The best hope for ending a poorly planned war, which started with scant consultation with Congress or the American people, may be an unsatisfactory peace that leaves critical issues to be resolved later and deepens Washington strife. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said a deal to halt the conflict he chose against Iran is imminent and very close. Each time, his predictions turned out to…

China Summit : Xi sees Trump as a Global Order wrecking ball

Like an out-of-control wrecking ball, swinging wildly back and forth, Donald Trump smashes up the international order without much thought for the consequences. Lacking coherent strategies, workable plans or consistent aims, he power-trips erratically from one fragile region, tense warzone and complex geopolitical situation to another, leaving misery, confusion and rubble in his wake. Typically,…

Trump is facing a humiliation in Iran

We are witnessing what happens to a person who is consumed with the need to dominate, but cannot. Iran is unlikely to give in. It can withstand the economic pressure of a blockade better than Donald Trump can withstand the political pressure that comes with rising gas prices (now nearly $4.50 a gallon, on average), soon followed by rising food prices. His looming failure in Iran is not just a…

Saudi Arabia denied Trump use of airspace for Project Freedom

One Saudi diplomat said it was obvious for a long time the US had landed itself in a conflict which it could neither escalate or exit. A refusal by Saudi Arabia to allow the US to use its bases and airspace to provide a military escort for oil tankers passing through the strait of Hormuz lay behind Donald Trump’s decision to shelve the plan days after it had been launched. Riyadh told the White…

Trump has boxed himself in a heavy steel box in Iran

Another day, another hairpin turn in the world of Donald Trump’s foreign policy. The weekend was all about war, and Trump insisting Iran had not yet “paid a big enough price”. Tuesday was Project Freedom, styled as a grand “humanitarian gesture” to allow trapped ships and their crews to escape the Gulf, but also aimed at weakening Iran’s chokehold on the strait of Hormuz. By the early hours of…

Silence is the most powerful form of communication

We tend to think of communication as something that requires words. A sentence. An explanation. A carefully worded text or a long conversation at the kitchen table. But some of the most powerful messages a person will ever deliver arrive in total silence. Walking out of a room without explanation. Leaving a relationship without a closing argument. Stepping away from a friendship that stopped…

"Project Freedom" falls flat on high oil prices

Oil prices remained largely unmoved on Monday following United States President Donald Trump’s announcement of “Project Freedom” – a US operation to guide stranded vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz – as traders saw little hope of the plan resolving the biggest energy disruption in history. Brent crude, the international benchmark, stood at $108.11 per barrel as of 05:00 GMT, down just 0.06…

Rest in Peace , Herbie

It’s been just over a year since my dog Herbie died. He passed away in our arms on a gloriously hot Sunday afternoon last April. I cried for weeks afterwards. Still do from time to time. Our relationship with him was one of the simplest I have ever experienced. We loved him and he loved us. That was all there was to it. No complications of trying to find the best and most tactful way of saying…

Iran war is drive by Trump's desire to wipe out Obama's legacy

US president will need to show heavy costs of war were worthwhile while Iran must choose between instant and delayed gratification If talks between Iran and the US reconvene within the next few days in Islamabad, Donald Trump will have two major political hurdles to overcome – first showing that any deal he secures is better than the one signed by Barack Obama in 2015 and from which he withdraw…

Pope Leo busts the fake religion in MAGA Movement

Sometimes, the “good guys” do wear white hats.Well, sort of.The “good guy” I am referring to is the American-born leader of the Catholic church, Pope Leo XIV, who shepherds a 1.4 billion-strong congregation. The “white hat” he dons is a skullcap called a “zucchetto” – which is meant to signify his authority and humility in equal measure .Lately, Leo has been exercising his authority – imbued…

UK and other US Allies cannot dissociate themselves from Trump's lack of foresight

It’s not their war. But it’s becoming their political and economic nightmare. World leaders who opposed the US-Israeli attack on Iran are being torn between Donald Trump’s ire at their failure to join the conflict and electorates who are deeply hostile to the war and America’s president. Their dilemma is shifting the dynamic between the US and its allies. Leaders who once tried to appease and…

Trump's Suez moment at the Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump has wanted to take down Iran since he was a 34-year-old soft-spoken realtor. His first known comment on foreign policy, ever, was in October 1980, when he declared that the clerical regime in Iran—which for a year had been holding 52 hostages—had made the U.S. look “just absolutely and totally ridiculous.” “I think this country is responsible for that war by its own…
