The clock is ticking for Iran as multiple US media outlets report that the Trump administration is preparing to resume military strikes within 24 to 48 hours, while nuclear negotiations remain completely deadlocked. Alex Christoforou breaks down the escalating Iran situation alongside Kremlin spokesman Peskov pushing back on EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, the surprise release of Andriy Yermak on a three million dollar bail after just two days in detention, Russia and Ukraine exchanging massive drone strikes, and the latest viral Trump social media posts including the now infamous James Bond 007 image. Are we days away from a major US military operation, and what does it mean for the broader geopolitical order? The Duran and Alexander Mercouris have the full analysis.
