While many are breathing a sigh of relief over President Donald J. Trump’s apparent de-escalation with the Islamic Republic of Iran, there remain some fears that the war is not over.
In fact, one reason people are so worried is that this de-escalation is simply another pause (like the Memorandum of Understanding) rather than a real de-escalation that leads to an end of the war.

When U.S. President Donald Trump said over the weekend that the United States had stepped back from the brink of another major military escalation in Iran, claiming he had canceled a massive planned strike after receiving assurances that diplomacy would resume, he said talks were due to begin again on Monday.

Ukraine is preparing for winter, and current forecasts suggest this year’s winter will be one of Kyiv’s hardest yet.

A big part of modern warfare has been about striking at or jeopardizing energy infrastructure. Countries strike oil refineries, blockade energy shipments, and try to leverage energy scarcity and rising gas prices to achieve their war aims.
But now, Russia appears to have embraced another form of attack: Striking Ukrainian civilians as they fill up at gas stations.

Veniamin Kondratyev, the governor of Russia’s southern region of Krasnodar, said that seven people, including three children, were killed in an attack on the Black Sea resort city of Gelendzhik on Monday.
The war over the war continues. President Donald Trump defied expectations over the weekend when he abandoned his previous threats to conduct a “Military Terror” campaign against Iranian energy and water infrastructure along with the Israelis.
