France's Marine Le Pen Acquitted in Case Over Violating Hate Speech Laws

It is starting to look as if the Hormuz crisis may be abating, with the US calling off its ill starred project to 'guide' ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

The talk now is of the US proposing a deal whereby Iran would agree to a 'moratorium' on uranium enrichment (for how long exactly?), which if true (far from certain) implies that Iran would actually retain some sort of control or possession of its existing stockpile. In return the US would agree to lift sanctions (in whole or in part?). There would also be some form of lifting of the restraints on shipping via the Strait of Hormuz, though again we don't know whether the Iranians would maintain their stance that they have henceforth overall control.

If there is anything truth to any of this then obviously the demands for Iran to give up its ballistic missile programme or abandon its regional allies (the Houthis and Hezbollah) are being abandoned, as are plans for 'cutting off the head of the snake', ie. regime change and all that....

It is happening! Iran's victory is being consolidated. Saudi Arabia stops all military cooperation with the USA. No troop presence, no airspace use. And bye bye to that huge money flow into the US economy. Saudi Arabia spent more on their military (i.e. US arms purchases) than Russia did before 2022. (We'll see how total their abandonment of the USA will be)

"the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh or fly through Saudi airspace to support the effort, the officials said."
