Tone always matters in diplomacy, particularly in sensitive phases such as the one the US & Iran find themselves in right now. Trump is usually his worst enemy when it comes to tone, but some of his latest tweets have shown unusual sensitivity to the need for a more respectful tone.

Trump wants European powers to help open the Straits of Hormuz, but why on earth should they? They were not consulted about this war, and they cannot make much of a military difference. As far as they are concerned, this is Trump's debacle.
This video was apparently aired on Israeli TV. It shows Axis of Resistance leaders waiting in line to be killed by Israel. At the end, the camera zooms out and we see that the next leader waiting to be killed by Israel is Erdogan. Seems Israel is already planning the next war.
There is still an off-ramp available to Trump, but it will require a compromise, including sanctions relief for Iran. There are ways Trump can do this that will serve US interest. But if he goes in with ground troops, the opportunity will likely be lost.
Trump had time on his side during the ceasefire - until he imposed the blockade per the recommendation of FDD, Israel, and Lindsey Graham. Though the blockade is hurting Iran, it has ended up hurting Trump more, with oil prices now exceeding where they were even during the war itself.
Trump's former Secretary of Defense explains why Trump is losing the war and why Iran is not breaking...
The infantility of the German gov appears to have no limits. The German FM now says that "regimes like Iran cannot invoke international law.” The most fundamental principle of international law is that it applies equally to all states. To challenge that is to declare yourself a rogue state.
First, Israel bombed a father and his daughter. Then, when the medical team arrived, they bombed again. A double tap. A war crime. Designed to maximize civilian casualties. That is, terrorism.
Both Trump and Iran need a deal. Iran is in dire need of sanctions relief, and it can only lock in its gains in the war through a deal. Trump desperately needs to end the war before it does more damage to his presidency and to the GOP.
Trump cannot escalate his war out of this war because Iran can inflict costly counterescalation. If Iran destroys the regional oil infrastructure, oil prices will shoot through the roof in an enduring way and cause global economic depression. The only way out is de-escalatory.

“Trying to bludgeon reality with words.” Former U.S. diplomat Alan Eyre on President Trump’s claims about the status of the Iran war as the U.S. awaits Iran’s response to a peace proposal and as questions surround the tenuous “ceasefire” after both sides traded strikes.
Our fleet is currently being intercepted by IOF forces. Every step of the way, people have asked us why we keep sailing, knowing that we will be stopped. The question is not why we continue. The question is why israel is not stopped. We reject the normalization of genocide.

Many people only look at the results of the Swiss issue, not the causes. After WWII, the US pushed Switzerland to open deposit data for nearly fifty years, but Switzerland has been unwilling to change. The so-called neutral Swiss banks, in Miles Guo's view, are more like a system for hiding funds.
