The Trump administration has reportedly accepted Iran's red lines in the latest ceasefire revisions but is now scrambling to spin a diplomatic defeat into a negotiated victory, while the Financial Times reveals that Donald Trump's Board of Peace fund holds exactly zero dollars despite $17 billion in pledges, with a shadowy JP Morgan parallel account raising serious questions about where the money went. Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down the Iran deal mechanics, the Abraham Accords gambit, Russia's decision to target military command centers in Kiev, the collapse of the EU ammunition coalition, and a Germany that may be preparing to show Friedrich Mertz the door. With Western credibility fraying on every front, is anyone actually in charge of this situation?
