Bank of England's dovish MPC member Alan Taylor argues against overreacting to Iran war-driven oil price surge, citing sufficient restrictiveness in the system and lower second-round inflation risks compared to 2022 Ukraine crisis, while acknowledging trade-offs facing weak UK economy amid supply shocks.

The United States and #Russia are both losing wars.

And they are losing wars that make no sense, in an uncanny folie à deux, to the benefit of #China.

An Iranian general is major player in talks with US over war

A hard-line Iranian general linked to notorious attacks at home and abroad is believed to have seized a place near the center of power as negotiations with the United States hang in the balance. Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi has become a major player in formulating Iran's tough stance in negotiating a possible end to the war with the U.S. He is one of the direct contacts to negotiators aiming for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Vahidi, who is 67, is believed to have direct contact with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khameini. However, Vahidi hasn't been seen publicly since February 8, weeks before the war began.

Report: "Israel pushes for war"

Some in Israel "would like to cut their losses & walk away," says fmr negotiator Daniel Levy.

But Netanyahu & most of the mainstream "want to double down & use all that US hardware... to seriously degrade Iran.”

“This stops when the US says it stops,” Levy says. As Trump said of Netanyahu after their Tuesday call, he’ll “do whatever I want him to".
