Unpacking Iran’s competing endgames with Brookings Institution’s Thomas Wright

Listen: Ian Bremmer sits down with Thomas Wright, Brookings Institution fellow and former Senior Director at the US National Security Council, to unpack the deepening war in Iran and the divergent strategies shaping it.

Trump relaxes Russian oil sanctions

The US has paused Russian oil sanctions in a bid to stabilize energy markets rocked by the war with Iran. Administration officials stress that it’s a “tailored” measure, applying only to oil already loaded onto tankers, but it’s still a gift to Russia, which has already been clocking an extra $150 million daily in oil revenues since the war began. Still, with nearly 50% of Americans blaming US President Donald Trump for higher gas prices, the president is gambling that giving a fresh boost to the Kremlin war machine in Ukraine is worth it to ease pressure at the pump. European leaders – who want more US pressure on Russia to end the war in Ukraine – are understandably miffed, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz blasting the sanctions move as “wrong.” Meanwhile, France and Germany are reportedly in talks with Iran about letting their own tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
