PAYING TAXES TO A STATE THAT NO LONGER DELIVERS

US cannot afford to strike Iran and then disengage

Preventing an Iranian nuclear capability is now a regional imperative, not merely an Israeli concern, as it could trigger a wider arms race

Washington's likely approach is to reopen Hormuz, secure maritime traffic, and maintain credible military pressure to deter or punish any future nuclear breakout

2) Immediate & complete ceasefire
3) Current contact line b/w Russian & Ukrainian forces must be the starting point for negotiations
4) Ukraine must have “robust & legally binding” security guarantees in place
5) Russian assets must remain frozen until Kremlin “ceases its war of aggression & compensates Ukraine for the damage caused by the war”
