When the look on his face is that of satisfaction, because now you’re aware that your suffering was intentional on his part, the man who has everything but happiness, because he doesn’t know how to be happy, only spreads misery that is his lot in life.

Important: The threat of American military force has lost its potency in the US-Iran equation. This fundamentally changes the dynamics between the US and Iran. The US can no longer approach diplomacy as a matter of dictating terms - it has to be real give and take

Inflation is down today, in part thanks to action we've taken on energy bills. But the price of electricity is still set by global gas rates, despite half of our electricity coming from renewables. So we're taking steps to fix that too. Let me explain 👇
