NO DEAL The realist view, from an ultra-connected old school US intel operative: "We do not see any evidence that there is a settlement. Iran says no deal is imminent. Iran is not going to give up their weapons - which places them in a position that they can defend themselves against the US as an equal power in quality if not quantity." "Trump has to make a deal now.  This could have been avoided if Trump had listened to me when I advised him not to touch the Strait of Hormuz.  He has to settle now.  We see no concrete evidence of a present deal."
