Nombre de missiles de croisiere Tomahawk tires par les Etats-Unis en 56 jours de guerre contre l'Iran. Le stock pre-conflit etait estime a environ 4 000 unites par le CSIS.

These stories are covered by some regions but ignored by others. What's left unsaid is often as revealing as what's reported.
A second round of US-Iran talks was supposed to take place in Islamabad, with Pakistan hosting both sides as a neutral broker. Donald Trump abruptly cancelled the trip of Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, saying negotiations could happen by phone. Iran had already denied any direct meeting was planned. Pakistan's prime minister vowed to remain an 'honest and sincere facilitator.' The episode exposes the fractures in American diplomacy and the growing ambitions of Global South nations as conflict mediators.

+1The US Justice Department closed its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, removing the main obstacle to an early succession. Kevin Warsh, Trump's preferred candidate, is now in pole position. Markets reacted positively in the short term, but economists are sounding the alarm over a scenario in which the US president effectively controls monetary policy through a hand-picked replacement. The episode is being watched worldwide as a test of central bank independence.
