On the Stories of the Year

There were two–the American election and the Middle East. The first ended with a Trump victory; the second is still up in the air, but as a result of Israeli technical prowess in Lebanon and some unexpected developments in Syria, Trump and Bibi will have an opportunity to redefine the conflict with Iran during the first few months of 2025.

What will they do? Will it be war or peace? Will we have successful negotiations, failed talks followed by an Iranian bomb, regime change, or something else? For my prediction on that issue, see my next post.
