#STATETHINKING: Iran, maximum pressure works. @MaryKissel 1902 Persia

Brent råolie OPEC+ alliancen udvander produktionsplanen for 2025, ”Maximum Pressure”-speederen over for Iran afventer Trump, og olieprisen er lav i lyset af trækket fra verdens olielagre siden august måned. I vores øjne er konsensusforventningen om et solidt olieoverskud i 2025 på retræte, og vi forventer, at olieprisen forbliver over de sidste 2 års laveste niveau nær $70 gennem 2025. Prognose for 1. kvt. nu $75. Diesel Den optimale risikoafdækning af dieselforbruget i 2025 fremstår fanget i et vakuum af kommende væsentlige begivenheder over for vores aftagende tiltro til et olieoverskud og et nedadgående prispres næste år. I sammenhæng med et lavt absolut prisniveau for diesel, så anbefaler vi en over normal, men endnu ikke høj risikoafdækning af 2025-forbruget. Naturgas Slut med russisk gas via Ukraine forstærker nødvendigheden af øget LNG-import eller alternativt et lavere gasforbrug i Europa. Ingen af delene er synlige i rapporterede data, og som en konsekvens heraf må gasprisen søge højere for at udkonkurrere de asiatiske gaspriser. Vi løfter vores prognose for denne vinters gaspris til €57, og vi anbefaler ufortrødent en høj risikoafdækning af 2025 forbruget. Læs hele analysen her. Vigtig investorinformation.

Brent råolie Konsekvenserne af OPEC+ alliancens udvandede produktionsplan for 2025 er stadig ved at blive indarbejdet i alles oliebalancer. Og Donald Trump har endnu ikke trådt på ”Maximum Pressure”-speederen over for Iran og landets olieproduktion. Konsensus om et solidt olieoverskud i 2025 fortoner sig, og i vores hovedscenarie holder Brent olieprisen sig over de sidste 2 års laveste niveau nær $70 i 2025. Diesel OPEC+ udvander løbende udsigten til mere olie i 2025, og samtidig afventer vi væsentlige geopolitiske skaktræk inkl. Kinas modsvar på Trumps told, og Trumps ”Maximum Pressure” på Irans olieproduktion. Vores aftagende tiltro til et olieoverskud næste år og et absolut attraktivt prisniveau betyder, at vi anbefaler at øge risikoafdækningen af 2025-forbruget til over normal, men endnu ikke høj. Naturgas Spekulanterne tilbagesælger gaskontrakter i en risikotilpasning i optakten til årsskiftet og trodser dermed uforandret de pressede gaslagre. Varmt vejr denne uge kan udvide spekulanternes pres mod niveauet €40 før, at relativt lave sæsonlagre og tøvende eksport af LNG til Europa igen trækker terminskurven og gasprisen mod €50 efter årsskiftet. Vi anbefaler en høj risikoafdækning af forbruget. Læs hele analysen her Vigtig investorinformation.

The Biden administration is pressing for an end to the war in a hostage deal, while working to topple Benjamin Netanyahu's government. It has many allies and tools in this effort: the threat to sanction an IDF unit, the looming specter of international arrest warrants from the Hague, the Israeli anti-Netanyahu press and, from within the cabinet, an attempt by Benny Gantz to push for accepting a near-surrender hostage deal. At the same time, the right flank of Netanyahu's coalition has issued an ultimatum: should such a deal come to pass they will opt out and topple the coalition. Has Netanyahu reached the end of his rope?

Hour 2 of the MOnday Bob Rose Show for 2-5-24

Foremost Republican figure and former President, Donald Trump, recently expressed stern criticism over the foreign policy decisions of current President Joe Biden, in the light of a tragic drone attack that resulted in the loss of three American servicemembers and left over two dozen injured. Trump drew stark comparisons between his approach to Iran, defined by intense sanctions to limit potential attacks against U.S forces, and the current administration's stance. Trump's presidential term is remembered for its robust deterrent measures against Iran, which caused significant financial strain on the nation. His regime urged Iranian forces to refrain from troubling U.S. vessels in the Arabian Gulf, with a notable military action under his command resulting in the elimination of Qasem Soleimani, the commanding figure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, deemed liable for attacks on U.S. military personnel. Underscoring the erstwhile administration's effective diplomatic tactics, Trump voiced, "Iran was struggling and on its knees three years back. My maximum pressure policy ensured that they were so restrained financially that they weren't able to fund their terrorist proxies effectively." According to Trump, the Biden administration reversed the groundwork of his Maximum Pressure policy by endowing Iran with substantial funds. "Once Biden stepped foot into office, he flooded Iran with billions of dollars. This unfettered influx of wealth has empowered the regime to fuel violence and devastation across the Middle East," he shared.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Following a devastating drone strike against a U.S. military facility in northeastern Jordan that led to the tragic loss of three American service people and the injury of at least 25 others, the prior U.S. President expressed severe criticism against the current administration. Upon reflecting on this terrible event, he took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to share his deep condolences and thoughts about the incident. He expressed his heartfelt sympathies towards the bereaved families of the courageous Americans who gave their lives serving our Nation. He described the incident as a shocking act of aggression against the United States and a regrettable result of the existing administration's alleged leniency and capitulation. His messages were direct and filled with disappointment at the present state of affairs. He reminded the readers that just three years ago, Iran was financially challenged and vastly restrained due to America's stringent policies. He spoke fondly of the Maximum Pressure approach that he asserts left Iran barely financially able to support their problematic proxies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/3StkgIM   - Click here to open an account with Saxo  - Today we note the remarkable continued rise in US treasury yields as the 10-year Treasury benchmark reached 4.25%, and the perhaps equally remarkable lack of significant impact on risk sentiment and the US dollar (outside the rush higher in USDJPY, of curse) from this latest surge in yields. We also look at the latest on natural gas, plummeting cotton prices and gold, FX themes, the busy calendar ahead for equity earnings and macro data and central bank meetings next week and more on today's pod, which features Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Biden and his team still say they are against Iran getting nuclear weapons, but their actions tell a different story. In this week's Mideast News Hour, Caroline spoke with Gabriel Noronha, the former State Department Iran specialist who disclosed the scope of Biden's concessions to Ayatollah Khamenei earlier this month. The two discussed the details of the concessions and what it means. They then considered what Trump's Maximum Pressure strategy achieved and whether and how Russia's invasion of Ukraine impacts Biden's actions going forward.

This article is the third in a series of articles on the situation in Cuba recently written by Manolo De Los Santos and Vijay Prashad. On July 22, US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris released a “fact sheet” on US “measures” against Cuba. The release from the White House said that Cuba was a “top priority for the Biden-Harris administration.” On March 9, Biden's Press Secretary Jen Psaki said, “A Cuba policy shift is not currently among President Biden's top priorities.” On July 12, NBC News reporter Kelly O'Donnell asked Psaki if Biden had reassessed his priorities regarding Cuba after the protests on the island the previous day. “In terms of where it ranks in a priority order,” Psaki replied, “I'm not in a position to offer that, but I can tell you that we will be closely engaged.” Not a priority, closely engaged, top priority: matters have moved rapidly from March 9 to July 22. What moved the Biden-Harris administration to focus so quickly on Cuba? On the morning of July 11, some people in Cuba—notably in the town of San Antonio de los Baños—took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the social and economic problems created by the US-imposed blockade and by the global pandemic. The reaction to these events in Havana and in Washington, D.C., is instructive: Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel heard the news of the protests, got into a car, and drove the 40 miles to San Antonio de los Baños, where he met with the people; while in Washington, Biden used the protest to call for the overthrow of the Cuban government. US government-funded nongovernmental organizations and Cuban American groups hastened to take advantage of the frenzy, excited by the possibility of regime change in Cuba. On the evening of July 11, tens of thousands of Cubans rallied across Cuba to defend their revolutionary process. Since that Sunday evening, Cuba has been calm.

Over the course of his 12 uninterrupted years as prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu left a profound mark on Israel's foreign policy. Since taking the reins from him last month, his successor, Naftali Bennett, has tried to capitalize on some of Netanyahu's accomplishments—such as the diplomatic normalization agreements with Arab states that are known as the Abraham Accords— while also charting a new course when it comes to relations with traditional partners like the United States and Jordan. This week on Trend Lines, Michael Koplow, a WPR contributor who serves as policy director at the Israel Policy Forum, joins WPR's Elliot Waldman to discuss the trajectory of Israeli foreign policy in the post-Netanyahu era.

Nas’ influence on Nikko was dramatic. Before long Nikko would start writing his own story and rhymes , his mother Sondra then began to give him song-writing lessons with homework that needed to be completed to move on to something new.

On this edition of Parallax Views, we welcome a guest that has an inside track within the beltway. Namely, Ret. Col. Lawrence B. Wilkerson. For the unfamiliar, Col. Wilkerson served as the Chief of Staff under Secretary of State Colin Powell during the George W. Bush administration. He also served 31 years in the U.S. army and teaches as an adjunct professor of government and public policy at the College of William & Mary. Since retiring from the military Wilkerson has been an outspoken critic of the Iraq War as well current U.S. foreign policy in other parts of the Middle East and around the world. Right now, he is working with the Transition Integrity Project, among other groups, to "War Game" possible scenarios in which the 2020 Presidential election doesn't end with a peaceful transition of power.Among the topics covered:- The Transition Integrity Project (TIP) and possible scenarios that could cause chaos in the immediate aftermath of the general election. Is Trump not allowing a peaceful transition of power just alarmism? What are the simulations, or what the press calls "War Games", done by the TIP and what insights can it give us about human decision making processes in relation to governance? - Col. Wilkerson mention Bill Barr's Christianity conservatism (or is it Christian Nationalism?) and groups like the conservative Catholic sect Opus Dei. What does it mean for U.S. governance? Thoughts on Steve Bannon, Hillsdale, and more - What is the relationship between the past and the Age of Trump present? What role do the Presidencies of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, etc. have in laying the groundwork for the Donald Trump White House. Predatory capitalism and the endless war state. - What to make of foreign policy under Trump? What is the state of foreign policy in the U.S. and relations with North Korea, Iran, Russia, etc. The Trump administration's "Maximum Pressure" campaign on Iran and the fallout it will likely create in our relationship with Iran. The ruination of agreements under Trump, the Venezuelan regime change efforts, and Trump's threatening of Russia. - President Barack Obama's foreign policy, Col. Wilkerson's telling experience with Obama, Obama and his National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes vs. the Washington, D.C. foreign policy "Blob" and the "D.C. Playbook"; the foreign policy consensus within the beltway and its pro-war bias - What is the extent of foreign influence on U.S. foreign policy, for example Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? The strange alliance between Christian Zionists and Israel; the belief in end-times prophecy that drives Christian Zionists like Pastor John Hagee - The relationship between Iran and the U.S.; why can't the U.S. and Iran have a non-hostile relationship?; the role of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other countries in the hostile relationship between Iran and the U.S.; influencing buying and money; is their any possibility of a non-hostile relationship with Iran in the future after Trump's dismantling of the Iranian nuclear deal?; Wilkerson's view, based on experience, that Iran is extremely rational and willing to work out a decent relationship - The New Cold War with China? Nuclear weapons and China; we are at a moment where science can identify and fix our problems... but if we don't take that opportunity it may spell our peril.

Brookings Vice President Suzanne Maloney explains how the US attempt to trigger a "snapback" of UN sanctions against Iran as part of the JCPOA agreement "exposes the utter lack of efficacy of the Trump administration's policy." She also looks ahead to how a Biden administration might seek to reestablish negotiations toward a broader agreement.

In about two weeks’ time on September 20th, the global sanctions on Iran – which was lifted five years ago and included an embargo on conventional arms - will snap back into force due to an American decision to veto any United Nations Security Council action to avoid it. This is the latest move in U.S. President Donald Trump’s so-called ‘Maximum Pressure Campaign’ against the Ayatollah regime in the Islamic Republic. In defiance of Washington’s move, Tehran unveiled domestically produced long range ballistic and cruise missiles while simultaneously seeking international support through striking a deal with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Will Porter returns to FPF to discuss Trump's maximum pressure policy against Iran and Venezuela. Will explains how the US seized four oil tankers that were carrying oil to Venezuela. Iran responded with a lack of concern saying the oil was no longer being carried by Iranian ships. At the UN, the US pressed for a resolution that would have extended the arms embargo against Iran. The resolution failed with only two votes, the US and the Dominican Republic. Even US allies - France, UK, and Germany - refused to vote for the US resolution. Kyle and Will talk about how Iran is responding to Trump's aggression.  Kyle and Will announce the successor show to FPF, Conflicts of Interest. Will is becoming a full-time co-host, and the new show will include a video. Conflicts of Interest is set to launch on August 31st.  Links YouTube - Conflicts of Interest  Facebook - Conflicts of Interest Twitter - Conflicts of Interest

The targeted killing of General Qassim Suleimani sent shockwaves around the world and sparked staunch debate about the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign. Supporters argue that this strategy, which includes leaving the JCPOA and imposing harsh economic sanctions, will safeguard American interests, quell Tehran's human rights abuses, and halt the state's support of terrorist networks. But opponents see "maximum pressure" as dangerously misguided. They argue that abandoning the hard-fought JCPOA and undermining the Iranian economy has promoted violence, isolated allies, and fueled anti-American sentiment.

More than a year after US President Donald Trump withdrew from the multilateral Iran nuclear deal, the Opec member's oil exports have hit historic lows. Official crude sales have slumped below 200,000 barrels per day from above 2 million b/d in the first half of 2018, as the country's traditional customers have largely stopped lifting to abide with US sanctions, piling more pressure on Tehran at a time when tensions with Washington are escalating. The US has blamed tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz on the Islamic republic and is upping the ante after Iran downed a US spy drone that Tehran says entered its airspace, raising the prospect of direct military conflict. For now, Trump has said he prefers ratcheting up economic pressure on Tehran over a military strike, slapping new sanctions on the country, including on the supreme leader. With oil exports at historic lows and its economy reeling, Iran's back is against the wall.  Hosted by: Amena Bakr, Senior Energy Correspondent and Oliver Klaus, Dubai Bureau Chief

South Korean president Moon Jae-in announced Friday evening that, together with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, North and South Korea will work towards a formal end to the Korean War by the end of 2018. The two countries will also work together on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The announcement sent ripples of hope and suspicion across the globe. North Korea has a track record of promising peace only to later continue business as usual. Gordon Chang, a Daily Beast columnist and author of “Nuclear Showdown: North Korea Takes On The World”, thinks the new push for peace talks may be an attempt by Kim Jong-un to divide the U.S. and South Korea. Chang joins Rick and guest co-host Matt Mackowiak to lay out his concerns and suspicions as we witness the historic summit between the North and South Korean leaders.
