https://www.youtube.com/watch/qEPomvKTwh4 Europe is finally standing up to Donald Trump | This Is Why.
The United States may have launched strikes on Iran this week, but Donald Trump also found time for a war of words.
This time, it was with the prime ministers of the UK and Spain – after they refused to allow America access to their airbases ahead of the attack.
Keir Starmer and Pedro Sanchez have responded with some tough words of their own – so why are they and other European leaders finally standing up to Trump?

“So far President Trump has managed to keep the American public largely with him. What happens when gets his hands further in the mangle and Iran gets lucky.”

“If Trump doesn’t turn the economy around I think that will be the key issue.”
As US midterm elections approach and the conflict in Iran is “grabbing the attention” the main issue for voters is still the economy, which “isn’t doing well” says Scott Lucas, University College Dublin professor of international politics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/DiDBiahB604 Tehran’s best and worst-case scenarios | GZERO World
What will Iran look like a year from now? Ian Bremmer and Brooking’s Thomas Wright discuss possible outcomes.
What might Iran look like a year after the war? According to Thomas Wright, the range of outcomes runs from unlikely political change to durable instability.
The best-case scenario—though Wright says is quite unlikely—is the emergence of a more legitimate government in Tehran. Public dissatisfaction with the current leadership runs deep, and in theory, that pressure could produce a regime that is more responsive to its people, even if it falls short of full democracy.
At the other extreme lies the worst-case scenario: fragmentation. If the state weakens too dramatically, Iran could splinter internally, creating a dangerous vacuum in an already volatile region. The most likely outcome may fall somewhere in between. The war could end with the regime still in power but significantly weakened—facing severe economic strain and struggling to provide basic services like electricity and energy. In that scenario, the Islamic Republic survives, but its long-term stability remains an open question.

The U.S. has said that fire power over Iran is to “surge dramatically”, but what are their main objectives and how long is the war likely to go on for?
Military analyst Professor Michael Clarke analyses Trump’s “contradictory actions” and how Iran is responding.
Assigning the rule of law as a rulebook for “wimps” risks long term chaos, similar to the “terrible mess” following regime change in Iraq warns former diplomatic editor of The Times, Michael Binyon.
