The main question that the Israeli attack on Iran raises is what the endgame will be. Will it result in the maximalist demands of Israel and the US being met, or will it end in a much more diffuse, unstable, and inherently more dangerous muddle than we have had until now?

The likelihood of Iran giving in to Benjamin Netanyahu’s and Donald Trump’s demands for a full surrender, at least on the nuclear issue, is low.

The bizarre, 11-month-long sock puppet show that called itself the government of the Netherlands has come to an end, thanks to the puppet master himself.

But with elections scheduled for the autumn, he could end up frozen out of power.

Europe, like much of the rest of the world, is way off kilter, with far-right blocs exerting growing and long-term influence - my latest for @tmrwsaffairs https://t.co/In3XuyOSQm
