All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in Iran.

Let's do an update as to what is happening with the negotiations.

If there are any real negotiations taking place, the possibility of a renewed attack by the

United States and Israel on Iran.

We had an interesting article from Axios, if you want to believe Axios is reporting, where

they claimed that Trump and Netanyahu had a pretty difficult phone call, good cop, Trump

who wants diplomacy, bad cop, Netanyahu, who wants an attack. That was pretty much the takeaway from the Axios article.

But Trump did talk about some sort of a letter of intent that is being drafted with the mediation

of Pakistan.

Nothing official has come out with where we are on that.

So where are we, Alexander, with everything that is happening in Iran?

Well, at the moment, we are in a situation of impasse, but it's, and I think this is something

we have to say, because we're getting this information now from the

mainstream media in the United States. It's an accumulating mass of information now. What we're

getting is further and further information that this impasse situation that we see is a result of a failed attack on Iran in March and April.

Now, I think we need to understand that because the fact that the attack on Iran was even

less successful than it initially appeared to be. I think it's influencing

the decision of both sides. It's making the Iranians feel confident and explains why they are taking

a very tough line in negotiations. And it explains, I think, the confusion in the United States. So firstly,

it now looks as if Iran has preserved most of its ballistic missiles. Its stoppile is

mostly intact. Its launches of missiles are mostly intact.

They're spread out across Iran.
