Although bold predictions in the midst of enormous historic events are obviously fraught with great peril, there are some indications that major geopolitical shifts may soon be on the horizon.
Last week began with the provocative actions, boastful claims, and sharp reversals for which President Donald Trump has become notorious since the beginning of his ill-fated Iran War.

On Sunday, Trumpannounced that on Monday morning he would launch “Project Freedom”using the American navy to escort out commercial vessels that had been trapped by the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. But when the Pentagon impressed upon him that his warships would probably be sunk,he quickly reversed himself, saying that American forces would merely “guide” those trapped ships to safety, without specifying exactly what he meant by that term.
By Tuesday, he had further reversed himself andannounced that he had “paused” the operation, thereby greatly embarrassing Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who just hours earlier had declared that the effort was America’s top priority. It soon came out that the Saudis and Kuwaitis had been blindsided by the American plan andrefused to allow their bases or airspace to be used, fearful that the result might be a dangerous military reescalation of the conflict with Iran.
On the Truth Social website, Trump justified his sudden policy reversal by theface-saving excusethat “great progress” had been made towards a “complete an final agreement” with Iran, presumably on terms that he would find quite congenial.
Trump had said much the same thing on at least eight or ten previous occasions, so I paid no attention to his offhand remarks. These struck me as further confirmation of the negative appraisal of his mental balance that I’d published just a day or two earlier.
But the influentialAxiosmedia outlet soon publishedan article substantiating out Trump’s casual words. An exclusive byBarak Ravid, its chief Middle East writer, declared that:
The White House believes it’s getting close to an agreement withIranon a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations, according to two U.S. officials and two other sources briefed on the issue.
So a peace agreement—including an opening of the Strait of Hormuz—was allegedly now close at hand, and theAxiosreport was very widely quoted all across the mainstream media.
