๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Iran's oil at sea is running out and Trump still won't lift the blockade until he gets the nuclear file first... so the next move after the midterms is likely more bombs The deal Tehran wants is the Islamabad seven-point plan with the blockade lifted and assets unfrozen first and nuclear talks a week or a month later, and the deal Washington wants runs in the opposite order. Alan Eyre says the blockade is working, but one more big bomb won't move Iran's red lines: "From highly unlikely to wildly improbable that the Iranians will move their red lines." A senior Iranian official has already named undersea cables, data centers and Gulf energy as the retaliation list, and Alan reads Tehranโs new defense minister, a missile and drone man, as a bet on more rockets. He doesnโt expect a sprint for the bomb, though he says the fatwa may be up for a rethink, which leaves a third round buying Washington another pause and no settlement. @AlanEyre1 @WeTheBrandon
