According to the BBC, Oasis is among the record number of British acts entering the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Reuters reports that former Nato chief Lord George Robertson has warned that the UK’s national security is “in peril”. The New York Times reports that Israelis are questioning the outcome of the war with Iran, with many feeling that the regime in Iran has not changed and the nuclear and missile threats have not been eliminated.
US & Middle East
The New York Times reports that Iranians are proposing to suspend nuclear activity for up to 5 years, according to a recent proposal. The proposal was made during weekend negotiations, which ended without an agreement a day before the U.S. military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz began. Additionally, the BBC reports that the Lebanese government is seeking peace, but Hezbollah needs to be convinced first. The Lebanese government has limited influence over the group, making it challenging to achieve a lasting peace.
Europe
According to the BBC, former Nato chief Lord George Robertson has warned that the UK’s national security is “in peril” due to “non-military experts in the Treasury” who are accused of “vandalism”. In other news, the BBC reports that Hungary’s next PM would pick up if Putin calls and tell him to stop Ukraine war. Russia has offered “pragmatic” relations, but Péter Magyar says he will not call Vladimir Putin himself.
