Considering there's basically just three outcomes (let Israel drop a nuke, invasion, bluff => sues for peace), here's a nice little binary decision tree . Interesting to see Israel wins in 4/5 outcomes, Iran in 2/5, US only in one, and the least likely one.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
🔴There are no direct talks between Tehran and Washington
🔴The U.S. president’s statements are part of efforts to reduce energy prices and buy time to implement his military plans
🔴Yes, there are initiatives from regional countries to reduce tensions, and our response to all of them is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all such requests should be directed to Washington

Proud to see the EU-@mercosur agreement moving into provisional application.

Key for 🇪🇺 businesses to seize new opportunities.
Key for the strength of rules-based trade.
Key for our credibility as a reliable partner.

We continue to work closely with @EUCouncil and @Europarl_EN.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

In January, the European Council empowered the Commission to provisionally apply the Agreement
as from the first ratification by a Mercosur country.

Over the last weeks, I have discussed this intensively with Member States and the EP.

On that basis, the Commission will now proceed with provisional application.

February #AMISMarketMonitor is out. January grain & oilseed prices edged lower; IGC shows ample supplies and YoY declines—except soybeans. Fertilizers eased, but urea stayed high on costlier gas. Outlook cautiously stable amid uncertainties
