US war on Iran: Lucas makes case for 'discussions & dialogue over renewing violence & confrontation'
Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Scott Lucas, Professor of American Studies and Int'l Politics at the Clinton Institute, University College Dublin. According to Professor Lucas, this is not a moment of resolution, rather recalibration. The ceasefire did not emerge from strength, but from constraint: a recognition of the limits of the effectiveness of military escalation. Amid all of Donald Trump's violent rhetoric and existential threats, the US faces a narrowing set of viable options. Iran has leveraged resilience and regional positioning to strengthen its diplomatic hand.

EU to ‘convey concerns’ to US about Vance’s Hungary intervention – Europe live
US vice-president has praised Orbán and criticised EU and UK energy policies in speech at private school in Budapest Oh, you can see where this is going to go. In his second question, the moderator tries to bait JD Vance into criticising Ukraine, as the chair asks about what he says are “Ukrainian intelligence services attempting to influence” elections in the US or Hungary. “I’ve also been told that the vice-president of the United States coming and saying that Viktor Orbán is doing a good job and is a helpful statesman to the cause of peace, that’s foreign influence.

US defence secretary gives press briefing after provisional ceasefire agreed US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire with Tehran saying it will reopen strait of Hormuz What is in Iran’s 10-point ceasefire plan and will the US agree to it? A genocidal threat, and then the US president, Donald Trump, blinked – without any apparently meaningful concessions from Iran. As in so much concerning the second Trump administration, the two week ceasefire “deal” that will see the strait of Hormuz reopened – if it can be described as such – is maddeningly vague and short on detail, apparently kicking the can on key issues down the road. Iran’s nuclear issue, Trump said, would be solved “perfectly.” “It was a big day for world peace”, Trump posted on Truth Social. “Iran can start reconstruction” he added. “Big money” could be made. Yada. Yada. Yada. Continue reading...
