Trump’s ‘Groundhog Day’ War
The U.S. launched airstrikes against Iran for the third straight night, after Iran retaliated to previous attacks by launching missiles at America’s Gulf partners, while also striking two Emirati tankers in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. Amid the exchange of fire, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports would go back in effect, while notifying Congress that the U.S. and Iran were once again in a state of armed conflict. The developments underscore two things about the Iran war: It is now above all a battle over control of the Strait of Hormuz, and https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/trumps-groundhog-day-war/

A Final Iran Deal Is Far From a Sure Thing
The U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding last week in which they agreed to end hostilities and engage in negotiations to resolve their disputes. President Donald Trump hailed the deal, calling it an “unconditional surrender,” by Tehran. Whatever one might mean by that term, this is surely not it. A plain reading of the text shows that Iran secured some major benefits, including sanctions waivers on its oil sales that are expected to bring in billions of dollars in new revenue. Indeed, many analysts have argued that the memorandum in fact marks a defeat for the U.S., as https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/a-final-iran-deal-is-far-from-a-sure-thing/

Colombia Lurches to the Right
According to an initial tally released by Colombia’s electoral authorities yesterday, far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella eked out a victory over his left-wing rival, Sen. Ivan Cepeda, in Sunday’s presidential runoff election, winning 49.7 percent of the vote compared to the latter’s 48.7 percent. Though Cepeda is challenging the results, preliminary counts have proven accurate in previous Colombian elections, so the outcome is unlikely to change. As I wrote ahead of the runoff, this election has followed a number of familiar regional scripts.
