Hi everyone,
I hope you’re ready for tonights Q&A:-)
Since I sent out the invitation, you’ve surely noticed Trump declared “total and complete” victory over Iran and a ceasefire went into force. Trump even took the Iranian bait and described their 10-point plan as a “good basis” for negotiations. Since then it would appear that he has actually read the 10 Iranian points (or he has had someone explain what their entail) and now he’s threatening “shooting starts” and “next conquests”.
Moreover, Israel have intensified their attacks in Lebanon and in response Iran has stalled transports through the Strait of Hormuz. Just as well Iran hasn’t named its delegation to be sent to Islamabad to meet with VP Vance on Friday, as the ceasefire might be dead even before the two sides get to the negotiating table.
Tonight I’ll take stock of the situation at 7 pm CET (1 pm EST). You can join via this link: https://open.substack.com/live-stream/157430 (paid subscribers only).
Unfortunately I won’t be able to join my friends and for the daily briefing this afternoon as I have to be on a stage in the city talking about Russian hybrid warfare at more or less the same time! I’ll make it up to you tonight:-)
I hope to see as many of you as possible and look forward to your questions.
Jacob
