The Kobeissi Letter
@KobeissiLetter

BREAKING: The US has developed a "15-point plan" to end the Iran War and claims that Iran has agreed to many of the key points, per Axios.

Details include:

1. Proposal includes many of the same demands the US made during the last round of nuclear talks in Geneva

2. US envoy Steve Witkoff has told Trump that Iran has agreed on giving up their stockpile of highly enriched uranium

3. The document calls for zero uranium enrichment in Iran

4. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is concerned Trump might strike a deal that falls well short of Israel's objectives

Iran continues to deny that talks are taking place.

I can believe Iran may well be lying about that. Obviously Trump and co do lie too, but the regime in Tehran has incentive to not admit to talks.

Tehran shorting the market? Be quite funny if they buggered up the insider trading positions of those "in the know"....

The Royal Navy could charter civilian ships to help clear Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

Britain is leading an international coalition drawing up options to reopen the narrow shipping lane. Chartered vessels would act as minehunting “motherships”, deploying drones from their decks to seek out and destroy hidden underwater explosives across the Gulf. Naval chiefs are also considering converting some of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary’s four Bay-class landing ships into potential minehunters.

And I was joking about them sending Boaty McBoatyFace.

I’m imagining a grizzled CalMac Master, desperately serving up mac and cheese amid Shaheds and a broken mezzanine deck.

(Wtf happened to our minehunters? I know two people who have served on them in the past)

We now have airmobile crewless minehunters.

If they are not suited for Hormuz then you have to question the point of them.

Cambridge-headquartered tech giant Arm Holdings announces it will manufacture its own AI chips - a significant change after 3 decades of success getting its chip designs in 350 billion devices worldwide - IPhones, cars, data centres etc… partnerships announced with most of the worlds tech giants including OpenAI and Meta. The chips will be specialised for AI use, especially the deployment of “agents”.

CEO Rene Haas tells BBC: "This marks the next phase of Arm’s journey - building on our roots in Cambridge, and the strength of our teams across the UK and around the world…” which puts Arm and the UK at the centre of global AI transformation.

This is a major move for a company born out of UK science, Acorn computers, BBC Micro etc… its business model was a model for UK growth in the early 2000s… the manufacturing is as I understand it, going to be done at the only places in the world equipped to do so - TSMC in Taiwan…
