‘Expect no real peace’: Defence analyst doubtful of US-Iran progress
Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings is doubtful any progress will be made in Doha between Iran and the US, saying we should “expect no real peace”. “The Iranians are fundamentally not prepared to give ground on the issues that the Americans most want them to,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Iran’s objective, I think, is to keep the Americans locked into a process of talks which never quite resolves. “I think Trump has met his match when it comes to the art of the deal, and it is the Iranian leadership. “Expect no real peace.”

Iran’s ‘new nuclear weapon’: Weaponised geography in Strait of Hormuz
Former Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller says the terms of the US peace talks with Iran are going to be “incredibly difficult” to negotiate. “I’m reminded of what the Taliban said, in reference to American efforts in Afghanistan. You have the clock; the Taliban said, we have the time,” Mr Miller told Sky News Australia. “We’re not going back to February 27 when 20 per cent of global oil supply flowed. It’s not going to be free and unfettered anymore. “That is the new Iranian nuclear weapon. They’ve weaponised geography, and they’ve done it with a terrifying clarity and impact.”
