Dear MEPIN Readers,
In my latest Sky News Australia interview, I discuss whether President Trump has the patience to let the economic blockade squeeze Iran, or whether he will settle for a narrow Hormuz agreement to lower gas prices.
We also discuss Israel’s latest strike in Lebanon and growing American pressure on Israel to begin withdrawing, despite the reality that the Lebanese Armed Forces remain unwilling and incapable of confronting and disarming Hezbollah.
Will Washington stay the course, or trade long-term strategic objectives for short-term political victories?
