Trump has opened a new diplomatic space with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, and Gulf States to de-escalate the Iran conflict—while the U.K., EU, and NATO are absent and increasingly irrelevant.
Susan Kokinda argues President Trump has opened a new diplomatic space to de-escalate the Iran conflict by working through a regional roster—Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Gulf States, and back channels into Iran—while the U.K., EU, and NATO are absent and increasingly irrelevant. Citing reporting that ministers met in Riyadh and that Egypt, Turkey, and Oman carried messages, she says this “Board of Peace” architecture is isolating Iran and weakening its proxies, pointing to Lebanon’s move against Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority’s condemnation of Iran, and Hamas considering disarmament. Kokinda links Europe’s exclusion to self-inflicted energy weakness from Green and anti-Russia policies, noting rushed LNG moves and a delayed Russian oil ban vote. She concludes Ukraine’s outlook darkens as Europe and Britain lack leverage, highlighting Zelenskyy’s scramble for support in London and Washington.

New Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh just buried the Phillips Curve "cruel choice"—and the Trump Administration is building the replacement with directed credit and reindustrialization. The deeper engine of non-inflationary growth: human creativity, the American System's answer.
Tulsi's new biolab disclosures point to a single network centered on Dr. Anthony Fauci — from the 2014 NIH grant to Wuhan, to 40 US-funded labs in Ukraine, to the Biden-era cover-up of COVID's origins and Fauci's two proven lies to Congress.
