The American operation to break Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed and Washington is now quietly begging Tehran for a deal on terms it would have rejected as a humiliation just weeks ago. In this comprehensive May 6th analysis, Alexander Mercouris of The Duran breaks down the Axios-leaked framework for a US-Iran one-page memo, revealing that the Trump administration has abandoned every major demand it entered the conflict with: no regime change, no restrictions on Iran's ballistic missiles, no demands that Iran cut its regional alliances leaving only a negotiated moratorium on uranium enrichment. Meanwhile, Medvedev has openly declared that Russia's strategy toward Europe is now to "terrify" the continent into abandoning Ukraine, even as the Russian Defense Ministry's Oreshnik threat against central Kiev hangs in the air and the battle for Donbass enters what Mercouris describes as its final stage.
