While mediators aim to maneuver the US and Iran back to talks, Horovitz reviews the gaps between Tehran and Washington, the newly declared US naval blockade on Iran, and the acute dangers of the patient, malevolent regime’s survival.
With Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors heading to a first, single meeting on Tuesday in Washington, Horovitz notes that both sides have the same goal, disarming Hezbollah, while the terrorist army wants to stop the talks.
Finally, Horovitz briefly discusses Peter Magyar’s landslide victory in Hungary, a blow for US President Donald Trump and the Israeli premier, creating a shift, too, in the EU.
