A report from France 24 — English focuses on “Report: Trump ‘flips & flops’ with Iran between making a deal and threats to attack in ‘devastating fashion’” and sets out the main development contained in the supplied source material.

The available account reports that françois Picard is pleased to welcome Barbara Slavin, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center. The report also notes that She describes the US-Iran conflict as a dangerous combination of military escalation, diplomatic ambiguity and political calculation. Slavin sees an absence of true diplomacy: The recent indirect contacts between Washington and Tehran, mediated by Qatar, has been too limited and too fragile to produce any serious breakthrough. For her, this amounts to “kabuki diplomacy”: they half engage while positioning themselves against any appearance of compromise.
