Description:
The Trump DOJ has indicted 94 year old Raul Castro, mirroring the Maduro playbook as US signals grow louder that Cuba could be next for a military incursion, while Trump and Netanyahu clash in a furious phone call over whether to pursue an Iran nuclear deal or launch a strike.
Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down the Iran letter of intent, the Trump Putin APEC meeting in China, Keir Starmer caving to Zelensky over Russian oil sanctions, and the EU's stunning admission that it has no Middle East policy. Is the world heading toward back to back confrontations in Cuba and Iran at the same time, or is there still a diplomatic off ramp?
