Rory Stewart

I'll be in discussion with people, we'll have questions, I'm happy to engage with almost anything.

We can talk about global politics as well.

I'm playing the Dominion Theatre in London's West End on Sunday, the 13th of September, and the Richmond Theatre in Richmond on Tuesday, the 15th of September.

If you'd like to buy tickets, you can head to fane.co.uk forward slash Rory dash Stuart.

That's fane.co.uk forward slash Rory dash Stuart.

Yeah.

So listen, it's far from resolved, but it's a hell of a big change because it's what we've been waiting for for two months, which is finally...

The Iranians and the Americans signed a memorandum of understanding with the Pakistanis, and they've both said publicly that they've signed off on this MOU.

The key point is that the Straits of Hormuz now look like they will reopen.

Not immediately.

There's many things that could go wrong.

Could be the Iranians, could be the Americans, could be the Israelis, could torpedo the whole thing.

But it feels to me as though, finally, Trump and Iran actually want to get this done.

My mother's theory is Trump wants to get it done before the 4th of July, 250th Independence Day celebrations.

He doesn't want to be distracted by everyone endlessly grinding on about hummus.

That's the Sally Stewart view.

The Iranians, listen, they have

really enjoyed the fact that despite the American and Israeli bombardments, 75% of their entire ballistic missile launch capacity and indeed their missile stockpiles are still intact.

Three quarters are still intact.

This is some of the largest bombing on world record.
