Told @BeckyCNN that we are only 6 days into the 2-week ceasefire, and more rounds may occur since neither side has rejected further talks. And perhaps neither side wanted an agreement right away, since it could give the impression that they gave in too quickly.

Told @LyndaKinkade that Iran's goal appears to be to secure a complete rather than partial end to the conflict with the US. Trump is the right president to strike such a grand bargain, but he keeps undermining his own diplomacy with endless tactical errors.
Told CNN's @BeckyCNN that starting this war was a dire mistake, and going in with ground troops will be another mistake. Two mistakes do not make a solution.
Trump: "He [Saudi Arabia's MBS] didn't think he'd be kissing my ass... But now he has to be nice to me." This is the choice the GCC will face post-war. If it moves toward deeper dependence on the US to balance Iran, they'll become spineless vassals similar to Europe, who have to "kiss Trump's ass."
Told @cnn that Trump's focus on appearing as the winner is starting to become a threat to the negotiations. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Trump has not been able to resist mocking Iran and portraying Iranian restraint as a sign of weakness. This is self-sabotage.
Told @cnn that Trump tying the Iran deal with regional accession to the Abraham Accords will ensure that the war continues. But Trump may be raising the Accords to bolster his pro-Israeli credentials and deflect from inevitable criticism that his deal is opposed by Israel.
I discuss on @Bannons_WarRoom why the whole idea of a naval blockade won't go anywhere. Trump has no escalatory paths out of this futile war; the sooner he recognizes that and adopts realistic negotiation positions, the better off the US will be.
Iranians have suffered tremendously from this war, but also from a ceasefire that keeps the risk of war alive. Tehran signals readiness for war, though it doesn't seek it, and still believes it has escalation dominance. If war erupts, Iran will escalate horizontally & particularly target the UAE.
Two weeks into the war, Iran is still shooting missiles that Israeli air defenses fail to bring down. This footage from NBC last night shows an Iranian missile apparently dodging two Israeli interceptors and then hitting Tel Aviv with a massive explosion.
An entirely new security equation will be needed after this war. Won't be easy. GCC dependency on the US is partly why they're in this dire situation. Finding a new relationship with Iran will be difficult, given Iran's attacks. But there is no other way: geography is permanent.
WOW! @QuincyInst Board member and NRF Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer ABSOLUTELY DESTROY warmongers Mike Pompeo and Victoria Nuland at the @munkdebate. (Don't take it from me, they won the vote 56-44)
Donald Trump defends his economic policies amid questions about rising inflation, citing pre-war levels and escalating into sharp criticism of a reporter during the exchange.

Anthony Scaramucci: “If Obama acted the way Trump is acting, Fox News hosts would be calling for his impeachment. This guy is falling asleep in the Oval Office. He spent $8.2T in his first term, and he’s going to rack up $9-10T at the pace he’s on now.”
We are finally back with the dub of #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm! I'm gonna say flat-out what we're all thinking: that Asuna guy is shady AF. No doubt he's gonna be trouble. On the other hand, seeing Asa so goofy around her brother is something I'll never get tired of. She will get that hug one day.
