#US negotiators invitation to the #FM of #Iran, Abbas Araghchi in middle of the tensions is nothing new. #US has done this multiple times to multiple different power brokers. It has been done prior to #DJT coming to power. Will be done after #DJT retires from office. Aim is to prevent a conflict by show casing overwhelming capability. Basically a show of force.

Nothing bizarre/idiosyncratic/unorthodox about it.

How ignorance, misunderstanding and obfuscation ended Iran nuclear talks

Negotiators had reached agreement on key issues despite Trump team’s idiosyncratic approach. Two days later, war began

The Guardian

@ChrisMayLA6 Just before the bombings of #Iran began the #Iranian negotiators and #Omani FM were upbeat on progress being made. However, #DJT wanted results and a deal. While all #Trump had was a framework for a deal.

The components of #CBG/#CSG can only be at station for 3 months before withdrawing for R&R. A double dip deployment can be done but it strains the #CSG. The #AchillesHeel of #CSG.

Please stop #IranWar and #UkraineWar ☮️

@kali Maybe just maybe the only silver lining of #IranWar and closure of strait of #Hormuz is an accelerated shift towards #renewables. If we can shift surface transport plus sea borne transportation entirely, along with electricity generation, away from #oil and #gas then that would be worthy outcome. But we cannot expect politicians to deliver this.

Let not any crisis go a waste. This crisis ought not be wasted either. Shift to #Green and #CarbonFree.

This is not good. 153 for a barrel of oil for May-2026 loading? This does not end well for anyone. Please stop this madness. One significant conflict is enough. Humanity does not need two concurrent conflicts.

@politico_eu_bot Holy FRUCK

"I would also like to remind you that the U.S. and #Israel did not consult us before the war, and that Washington explicitly stated at the start of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired," Kornelius said. Kornelius is Stefan Kornelius who is Germany's Federal Government Spokesperson. FRUCK.

This is not good. #US needs a reset with #Europe fast.

@ErikJonker @geopolitics Germany wants a regime change in Iran, especially after the recent blood bath which preceded operation #EpicFury. France is ambivalent. UK wants to preserve its special relationship. Only Spain and very few other countries in EU/Europe do not support Operation #EpicFury.

#Europe is not ready to field a force independent of #NATO or #US.

#Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, denied #Tehran had asked for a #ceasefire or even a negotiation to end the war, in comments undermining sTrump’s claim that Iran wanted to make a deal.

So it starts. The #OilDisruption that was foreseen.
Welcome to the 3rd #OilShock.
The first one was caused when Arab nations imposed an embargo against #Israeli aggression.
The second one when Saddam invaded #Kuwait.
Now the third.
There are buffers but they will start to run out soon.

Expect other countries to follow soon.
