Hard for the US and Iran to reach a deal either sees as better than no deal. Agreements are rare when each side believes its BATNA is better. For Israel this is existential, for Iran compromise is defeat. Hormuz won’t hold: escalation or a ceasefire, but no real end to the war!

I accidentally discovered how to compress a month of research into 3 hours. A founder at a YC company showed me his Claude setup. I thought he was just fast. Then I watched him build an entire go-to-market strategy for a market he'd never worked in before. Here's exactly what he did: First: he didn't ask Claude to "research the market." He fed it 8 competitor landing pages, 3 earnings call transcripts, 12 customer reviews, and a Reddit thread of complaints. Then he asked one question: "What does every successful player in this market understand that their customers never say out loud?" Not "summarize these." Not "analyze the competition." The unspoken insight. The thing that takes founders 2 years of customer calls to figure out. But the next part is what broke my brain. He followed up with: "Now show me the 3 assumptions this entire market is built on, and what would have to be true for each one to be wrong." In 15 minutes he had the attack surface of an entire industry. The blind spots. The fragile consensus. The opening nobody was talking about. Most founders spend 6 months doing customer discovery just to find one of those. Then he did something I've never seen before. He asked: "Write 5 questions a world-class investor would ask to destroy this business idea, then answer each one using only the evidence in these documents." He spent the next 2 hours stress-testing every assumption. Every weak answer triggered a follow-up: "What's the strongest version of this argument and where does it still break?" By hour 3, he had a strategy deck that felt like it came from someone who'd spent a decade in the space. The tool didn't change. The questions did. Most people treat Claude like a faster Google. These founders are using it like a thinking partner who has read everything and has no ego about being wrong. The difference between 3 hours and 3 months isn't the amount of information. It's knowing which questions actually matter.

The fog of war, combined with Trump’s verbal diarrhea, Israel’s Old Testament logic, and Iran’s Shia sacrifice doctrine, is creating something unprecedented: the Babble Shroud of competing apocalypses.

The legal implications will be huge. I’m almost certain that the MB legal argument will center on treatment of Zionist organizations in the US. It will fascinating for many observers to watch Islamism and Zionism trying not to look similar.

And to think of the legal arguments that will be filled by American citizens being sanctioned, losing property or business ties because they belong to an organization the US tolerated for decades

I can’t even begin to imagine how the proposed decision to designate MB as a terrorist organization will address the many American Muslim brothers who have been in MB families for 3 + generations.

Classifying the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization won’t be easy and if Trump doesn’t TACO & follows through with it, the relationship with Qatar and Turkey will be fascinating to watch. But then again, Trump is letting Hungary buy from Putin!

Maybe England should ban Maccabees but allow the Hasmoneans.

How can you tell when Trump is talking rubbish? His lips move .. People in the Middle East are hanging onto every word Trump is saying, completely unaware that the man is con artist and that even his supporters discount most of what he says.

"I just wish we could wrap [Gaza's children] all up in love, and give them everything they need, and we could, and that's what's so painful." In a TV exclusive, Ms. Rachel, the children's entertainer, educator and internet sensation tells me why she'll never stop speaking up for the children of Gaza. "I think the backlash, it's painful, but then you have to be like, I know who I am and I know what's right...I know what my responsibility is as someone who has this platform to speak up for them."

Gaza Aid Crimes: while the US is not a signatory to the ICC, the US Laws can be used to pursue American organizations and companies who committed crimes anywhere, not just the USA. And this is an effort that must start.

@NaguibSawiris I have heard this line numerous times over many years of dialogue. I’m very happy to rebut this from original Zionist discourse. Here’s something I wrote on the concept itself recently in both Arabic & English facebook.com/share/19KUyTkk…

But the logic behind this pattern, which I’ve seen play out in business & war, is about maximizing negotiating leverage: improving one’s own BATNA (Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement) while degrading the BATNA of others.

The most intense fighting often occurs right before a ceasefire. In fact, the more intense the fighting before a ceasefire, the more likely it is to hold. This is, admittedly, just an observation, or a prejudice, if you wil, unsupported by formal analysis.
