Trump Determined To Secure Deal With Iran, Say Senior Israeli Officials​


The US president and Iran's parliament speaker gave conflicting accounts of potential talks between the two countries on the ongoing war that sparked market fluctuations in the oil price.

Senior Israeli officials have reportedly stated that US President Donald Trump is determined to secure a deal with Iran, as the alleged ‘productive talks’ claim with the Islamic Republic amid denial of the same from Tehran.

The US president and Iran’s parliament speaker gave conflicting accounts of potential talks between the two countries on the ongoing war that sparked market fluctuations in the oil price.

Trump had earlier said he had postponed threatened strikes on Iranian power plants, citing productive talks with Iran, while Tehran labeled the talk fake news.

An Iranian foreign ministry official says Tehran has received points from the US through mediators as a potential precursor to talks, as per a BBC report. A Whitehouse official has reportedly said that the talk with Iran is fluid.

Trump had announced a ceasefire for five days amid the US-Israel-Iran War, stating that all military attacks against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure have been postponed. The president also announced a temporary halt to planned strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure.

Exclusive: Trump approved Iran operation after Netanyahu argued for joint killing of Khamenei, sources say​


WASHINGTON/JERUSALEM, March 23 (Reuters) - Less than 48 hours before the U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran began, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone to President Donald Trump about the reasons for launching the kind of complex, far-off war the American leader once had campaigned against.

Both Trump and Netanyahu knew from intelligence briefings earlier in the week that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his key lieutenants would soon meet at his compound in Tehran, making them vulnerable to a “decapitation strike” – an attack against a country's top leaders often used by Israelis but traditionally less so by the United States.

 

Saudi Prince Is Said to Push Trump to Continue Iran War in Recent Calls​


WASHINGTON — Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been pushing President Donald Trump to continue the war against Iran, arguing that the U.S.-Israeli military campaign presents a “historic opportunity” to remake the Middle East, according to people briefed by U.S. officials on the conversations.

In a series of conversations over the last week, Crown Prince Mohammed has conveyed to Trump that he must press toward the destruction of Iran’s hard-line government, the people familiar with the conversations said.

The crown prince, the people familiar with the discussions said, has argued that Iran poses a long-term threat to the Persian Gulf that can only be eliminated by getting rid of the government.

Pentagon Orders 82nd Airborne Forward as US Sends Iran 15-Point Plan — The Offer and the Enforcement Mechanism​

The United States ordered the 82nd Airborne Division's command element and Immediate Response Force to the Middle East on the same day it sent Iran a 15-point peace plan through Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey (WSJ, 24 Mar; NYT, 24 Mar).

The United States ordered the 82nd Airborne Division's command element and Immediate Response Force to the Middle East on the same day it sent Iran a 15-point peace plan through Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey (WSJ, 24 Mar; NYT, 24 Mar).

The 82nd deploys regularly — its IRF maintains 18-hour readiness. But forward movement of Maj. Gen. Tegtmeier and his headquarters staff signals preparation to assume operational control, not routine rotation (Stars and Stripes, 24 Mar). Reporting on troop numbers varies: CNN reports approximately 1,000; Bloomberg reports 2,000; WSJ reports up to 3,000 (all 24 Mar). These join two Marine Expeditionary Units already en route (CBS News, 20 Mar), putting combined ground-capable forces above 5,000. Saudi Arabia reversed its initial refusal and granted access to King Fahd Air Base (WSJ/Bloomberg, 24 Mar).

 

Trump: Iran gave US a present worth a ton of money, related to oil, gas and Hormuz​


US President Donald Trump says that Iran gave him a “present” worth a “tremendous amount of money” related to the Strait of Hormuz and matters of oil and gas.

Asked by reporters in the Oval Office why he trusts the Iranians, he first insists that he doesn’t trust anyone before revealing, “They did something yesterday that was amazing — they gave us a present… that arrived today.”

“It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money, and I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize,” Trump says.

“They gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it. That meant one thing to me. [That we’re] dealing with the right people… They’re the only ones [who] could have done it.”

“It wasn’t nuclear related, it was oil and gas related,” he adds when pressed to clarify the nature of the gift.

Asked if the gift is related to the flow in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump responds, “Yeah.” Asked if the US will control Hormuz after the war, Trump says, “We’ll have control of anything we want.”

“I think we’re going to end [the war],” he adds.

France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40 percent of Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed​

France's Finance Minister Roland Lescure revealed on Wednesday that between 30 and 40 per cent of Gulf refining capacity has been damaged or destroyed by Iran's retaliatory strikes, leaving a shortage of 11 million barrels a day on global oil markets. Lescure warned it could take up to three years to restore damaged facilities, and several months to restart those that were urgently shut down.

 

Israel Races to Hit Iran Hard While It Still Can, Officials Say​

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the order on Tuesday for the military to accelerate its attacks, with a 48-hour deadline, four people briefed on the matter said.

With the growing potential for talks between the United States and Iran, the Israeli military is striking as many key targets as it can, concerned the war could soon be brought to a halt, two senior Israeli officials and two people briefed on the matter said.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered that every effort be made over the next 48 hours to destroy as much of the Iranian arms industry as possible, according to the two officials.

The order came after Mr. Netanyahu’s government obtained a copy of a U.S.-drafted, 15-point plan to end the war, the officials said, one of whom was present at meetings at which it was discussed.

The haste reflected a concern in the Israeli government that President Trump could announce peace talks at any moment, the officials and the two people briefed on the matter said. All spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters of national security.

The Trump administration has not officially confirmed or denied the existence of a plan, or whether such a plan has been passed to Iran.

 

German president calls Iran war a disastrous mistake, in rare rebuke of Trump​


1774524360929.webp


BERLIN, March 24 (Reuters) - The Iran war is a "disastrous mistake" that breaches international law, Germany's president said ‌on Tuesday in an unusually blunt rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump's foreign policy, which he said marked a rupture for German ties with its biggest post-war ally.

In a scathing verbal attack, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, whose largely ceremonial role allows him to speak more freely than politicians, took a far more critical line than Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has skirted questions on the war's legality.

"Our foreign policy does not become ⁠more convincing just because we do not call a breach of international law a breach of international law," Steinmeier, a former foreign minister from the centre-left Social Democratic Party, said in a speech at the foreign ministry.
"We must address this with regard to the war in Iran. For, in my view, this war is contrary to international law," he said, adding he had little doubt that the justification of the imminent nature of an attack on U.S. targets did not hold water.

 

UAE ambassador to US warns against ending Iran war too soon​

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, UAE ambassador to the US, Yousef Al Otaiba, wrote that the current war requires a decisive outcome that addresses the full scope of the Islamic Republic’s threat.

The United Arab Emirates’ ambassador to the United States, Yousef Al Otaiba, argued in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Wednesday that the war with Iran should end in a way that removes Tehran’s long-term threat to the region, a message that came as Gulf states stepped up public warnings over Iranian attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure.

In the op-ed, titled "The UAE Stands Up to Iran," Al Otaiba wrote that the current war required a conclusive outcome that addressed the full scope of the Islamic Republic’s threat. The piece appeared on the WSJ’s opinion pages on Wednesday afternoon.

Al Otaiba’s article landed amid rising signs that key Gulf states are taking a harder public line against Tehran after weeks of regional escalation tied to the US-Israel war with Iran.

Reuters reported Wednesday that Gulf Arab states told the United Nations Human Rights Council that Iranian missile and drone attacks posed an “existential threat,” and that representatives from Kuwait and the UAE accused Iran of seeking to destabilize the international order through terror and expansionism.

 
I understand that they need to safeguard the billions they’ve invested in establishing themselves as a global business hub, especially as they work to shift their economies away from non-renewable energy sources. But do they take into account the risk that, if Iran is pushed to the brink, it could target and destroy the critical desalination infrastructure on which the GCC fundamentally depends?
