All eyes on US President Trump’s next moves after his Tuesday deadline to Iran, while indicating he wants a deal.

Yesterday talking with @CNN's @BenInLDN on US options for the use of ground forces in the #IranWar and the challenges of opening the Straits of Hormuz. I also talk about the challenges of shallow missile magazine depth for the US and Israel in terms of missile defence capabilities, and the economic inequity of defeating $20,000 Iranian Shaheds with million dollar missile systems.

Always good to start my week on @CNN and @cnni with @BenInLDN talking Trump, DHS and Iran from @SurreyPolitics at @UniOfSurrey. This could be Trump's most dangerous week yet.

In Iran updated estimates from authorities indicated 600,000 to 1 million households leaving homes to seek safety - hoping this is temporary. An average family size of 3.2 people equals up to 3.2 million individuals now displaced inside the country. Our update with @BenInLDN

Thanks to @CNN's Ben Hunte for having me on to discuss the important test case.

Broke down the Drake lawsuit dismissal on @CNN with my friend @BenInLDN.
💥 He started from the charts… now he’s in court? Not anymore.
⚖️ Felt disrespected — now dismissed. The law said, “Take Care.”

We’re awaiting the official North Korean state TV broadcast of Friday night’s rain-soaked military parade in Pyongyang. Kim Jong Un revealed what NK calls its biggest & most powerful nuclear weapon yet: Hwasong-20 ICBM

The starvation campaign & Hamas’s grotesque video of emaciated hostage Evyatar David digging his grave are aimed at pressuring Israel to stop the war and let Hamas survive.
And, can @SEPeaceMissions broker a real deal to bring the hostages home?
Today on @cnni with @BenInLDN.
