I am grateful for the education and honesty. Can you comment on the Iranian submarine situation? Is it pertinent and if so, how can it influence future?
How do you evaluate your assessment as stated here with C Rice’s recent statement regarding the war? — Condoleezza Rice has stated that the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran has produced a "far better Middle East". She argues that the limited, primarily air-based war has significantly degraded Iran's conventional military forces, missile stockpiles, and regional proxies, creating a historic opportunity for the U.S. to secure long-term stability
The wild card remains! Will the US naval blockade eventually force Iran to capitulate. In other words, which side can sustain the pain the longest? Any thoughts on this element of the confrontation?

Not merely mediators between Iran and US, but also with armed forces now based inside Saudi and as per Reuters today the head of the Lebanese armed forces is visiting Pakistan (https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/lebanese-army-chief-leaves-pakistan-invitation-counterpart-2026-06-06/)
