This headline, which went out over Bloomberg, may have been the reason Brent fell sharply.
But it's a nothingburger--a paraphrase of some comments from Pezeshkian that amounted to saying negotiators had authority to reach a deal, without any mention of new concessions.

You sanctioned me for journalism. You froze my money. You say it's "not criminal in nature". You make me ask permission to feed my kids.
A criminal has more rights then me.
You say one thing and do the opposite to a journalist.
Who is spreading disinformation here?
There is no democracy without press freedom.
On International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, and beyond, we stand by all those who speak truth to power.
ALT A minimalist poster with a white background reads: “Journalists are being killed, tortured, harassed, detained, forced into exile. Impunity must end.” The words “Journalists are being” and “Impunity must end” are in bold, with the latter highlighted in red. A small European Union emblem, represented by a circle of stars inside a rectangular outline, appears at the bottom.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post is full of hypocrisy. The EU sanctioned several journalists in the last years, without charge, without a hearing, without legal proceedings, f.e. Jacques Baud or Hüseyin Doğru.

This is how a coordinated disinformation campaign works.
The EU is turning "end impunity day" into making a mockery out of press freedom day.

NY Times calls me the "author of lauded Cold War histories" and says my new book "offers one of the thornier accounts of the causes of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, placing a lot of the blame on the many decades of C.I.A. interventions in Eastern Europe."

Remarkable that even after four years many Ukraine "supporters" are still unaware of the comprehensive research collated by Ukrainian Professor Ivan Katchanovski on the false-flag Maidan massacre which brought about the 2014 coup.

Orwellian: My new Maidan massacre in #Ukraine article was accepted after minor revisions by journal editor but then rejected by journal without any further peer-review or revisions in what editor acknowledged was "political decision." World-renowned scholar supported my appeal 1/

Kriget i Ukraina kantas av tabun och rapporteringen är påfallande likriktad.
Jeffrey Sachs, Columbiaprofessor och tidigare rådgivare till bland annat Polen, Estland, Ukraina, Sovjetunionen och Ryssland, utmanar västledarnas och mainstreammediernas narrativ.
I intervjun med Stockholm Report kritiserar han USA, läxar upp Europa och riktar sig direkt till Sveriges statsminister. Han förklarar också, utifrån egna erfarenheter från insidan, hur kriget startade, varför det fortsätter och hur det kan avslutas.
Sachs berättar dessutom om det "absurda" samtalet med Jake Sullivan, som den tidigare nationelle säkerhetsrådgivaren aldrig kommenterat offentligt.
Medan kritiker anklagar Jeffrey Sachs för att upprepa Putins talepunkter, säger han själv:
“I’m no one’s apologist… I believe in peace”.

In this dangerous moment for Ukraine, it’s worth remembering what Vladimir Putin said years ago about NATO’s role in the proxy war:
“There are those in the West who don't mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives.”
My bad, it was actually a different president who said that — Volodymyr Zelensky, March 2022:

The view from @RANDCorporation on Iran war:
"... Sticking with the current approach is unlikely to result in a clean and quick end to the war. But sometimes an imperfect option is actually the right one—if only because the others are that much worse ..."

Hello @elonmusk and @tylercowen ,
You have just decided to publicly attack our research, six days before the vote on the California billionaire wealth tax.
Your attempt to discredit our work and that of our numerous academic colleagues is pathetic.
Let’s take a look. 🧵

Iran’s conditions have been repeatedly and clearly stated to the mediators. The carrot-and-stick approach has no effect on Iran. Progress can only be achieved once Iran’s seven conditions have been agreed upon.

There are many uniquely bizarre aspects to the US/Israel relationship but the most bizarre is how relfexively pro-Israel Americans will side with that *foreign country* even when they attack, beat, persecute or kill their own fellow Americans.
It's extra surreal, and disgusting, watching politicians who call themselves "America First" -- like Mike Huckabee -- do this.
