Iranian business weekly "Tejarat-e Farda" raises the question "Why are economic interests not the basis of an agreement?" and criticizes that the approach of Iran and US in the nuclear negotiations is not based on attracting "common interests" but on "repelling mutual threats."

This is a strategic setback for Russia. A significant part — maybe even the majority — of its airworthy strategic bomber fleet (part of the nuclear triad) appears to have been destroyed today.

It is Israel's weakness, not Iran's weakness, that makes a military strike on Iran appealing to Netanyahu and his cadre. I think Raz Zimmt raises some excellent points in this response to Alireza Talakoubnejad about how Israel might assess Iran's strength and how that could factor into a

Araghchi today confirming that Iran would soon be sending a response to the US offer and that new talks would be scheduled by Oman, though the date has not been confirmed. Separate signal from noise. Talks are far from a breakthrough but aren't close to breakdown.

سیدعلی #مدنی_زاده وزیر پیشنهادی اقتصاد خیلی دقیق آسیب وضعیت اقتصاد ایران را تشریح می‌کند: برای افزایش سرمایه‌گذاری باید کاری کنیم که اول از همه امنیت اقتصادی و سرمایه‌گذاری برای مردم اتفاق بیفتد و اقتصاد تا جای ممکن پیش‌بینی‌پذیر باشد تا سرمایه‌گذاران و مردم با کم‌ترین ترس و ریسک

Really positive interview from Madanizadeh, Iran’s prospective economy minister. He wants to create conditions for households and firms to move away from investing in safe havens and towards investing in productive assets. A much-needed supply-side focus!
