Retired General Frank McKenzie join Balance of Power stating the US will be able to claim a significant victory in the war with Iran if all the conditions outlined by the US are met, though Tehran will try draw out negotiations and change the terms. The US and Iran said they are prepared to hold talks to end the war in the Middle East during a proposed two-week pause in hostilities, even as Israeli strikes on Lebanon threatened to derail the fragile truce. Further adding uncertainty, sporadic fighting continued throughout the region and the Strait of Hormuz remained largely blocked. President Donald Trump has said that reopening the strait was a condition for halting the fighting. (Source: Bloomberg)
