Edward Meir's week in review and thoughts for the week of May 4, 2026

The Iran war enters its third month this week with few promising off-ramps materializing for a possible end to the conflict.

President Trump rejected an Iranian proposal passed on to the US, one deemed to be slightly more conciliatory than previous offers. However, apparently another Iranian proposal is making the rounds currently. If this makes the cut, the two sides could possibly get together in Pakistan later this week.
