Key Artery on the Brink of Closure - German Energy Crisis Worsens
Low water levels in the Rhine will halt commercial traffic and cause energy companies to cut output, authorities are warning - as reports state the German economy will lose โฌ260 bn in added value and benchmark energy prices hit new records. (Reuters)
The apocalyptic outlook means cargo of car parts, coal, food, and chemicals will be interrupted - and โunusually low levelsโ in the waterway have a knock-on effect on energy output.
Germanyโs biggest distributor of Russian gas - Uniper - warned of โirregular performanceโ at its coal-fired plant due to the imminent cut in supply. The company has already received a multi-billion-euro survival bailout to stop its crash - while coal demand in the country spikes.

โIran Deal Gets Stuck Once Again. Can the EU Rescue It From the Jaws of Procrastination?
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
As Iran and the West pass a new deadline, it is Israel at least that has signalled recently that a deal at some point is โinevitableโ.
The deal with Iran and the West โ the so called โIran Dealโ or JCPOA โ is about to be signed. Or it is never going to be signed โ depending on who you listen to. But as Iran and the West pass a new deadline, it is Israel at least that has signalled recently that a deal at some point is โinevitableโ.
Itโs hard though to pinpoint a particular time when the deal might pass through the hands of inexperienced and inept negotiators though on the Iranian side, led by Bagheri Kani who seems unable to take on the task at hand, handicapped not least by his limited command of English or his tendency to get distracted by banal, trivial details which slows down the talks to beyond โdead slowโ to almost โdead in the waterโ.
Of course, there is legitimate and worthy criticism levelled at Joe Biden who not only missed an opportunity in his first few months in office to try and work with the Western-educated Zavad Zarif โ whose diplomatic รฉlan extended to taming the conservatives in Iran while charming western journalists at the same time โ but who has now put himself in a position which makes him look like Trump. Presently, it is Biden who is sticking to a โmaximum pressureโ campaign of crippling sanctions while expecting to be taken seriously negotiating at the same time a deal which the Americans cannot guarantee wonโt be scrapped the moment a new president takes the Oval Office.
That doesnโt stop the new team for asking for a miracle though. Iran is demanding a guarantee that the United States will adhere to the agreement and not pull out as Trump did in 2018. โThis is something that cannot be promised given the U.S. political system, and the Iranians know it,โ an intelligence source told Al Monitor recently. This leads some sceptics to believe that perhaps Iran is not serious about reaching an agreement but wants to keep dialogue open indefinitely โ a negotiating tactic in itself which could be carried out for months if not years.
Others look at the sticking point of the Iranian elite guard. We have been led to believe that declassifying this group from the list of terrorists which the U.S. has, is central to a deal being struck, given that this was a Trump move once he pulled out of the deal in 2018.
Perhaps though, as some have speculated, thereโs more there than meets the eye, given that the IGRC is a financial conglomerate all of its own and is hit hard by having its ability to trade beyond borders impaired. Could the U.S. keep it on the list but remove the sanctions against it?
Another sticking point from the Biden camp which, as each day passes, appears to be the frog sitting in the metal pale of boiling water, about to die as the temperature reaches the lethal level โ unable to detect the subtle changes as each minute passes.
President Joe Bidenโs Middle East advisor Brett McGurk recently said that negotiations with Iran had been exhausted, telling a group of think tank experts last week that it is โhighly unlikelyโ the 2015 nuclear deal will be revived in the near future.
Some hope though is placed with Europeโs own Mr Bean, aka Josep Borrell a man so interminably boring and who lacks personality โ so much so that he actually complained to a western journalist recently about Russiaโs foreign minister...
