#Jordan FM says if Kushner plan is path to peace, they'll support "But if it dees not meet that, then we will say no. We said no in the past. We will say no in the future. Let’s not exaggerate the significance of the Bahrain workshop. It’s a workshop.”

This is precisely the point an official made to me earlier. Yes, they can technically do it. But scaling up at that pace could mean crippling a number of IR-1 machines in process. twitter.com/TheGoodISIS/st…

"...by the way, this is one of the elements you will find here (she picks up the latest version of the EU's Global Stategy paper) on the ideas for the way forward, among others." NOTE -- this means it's an IDEA. In a PAPER. in a process led by an OUTGOING high rep. 3/3

So to fill out the tweet about EU #intel hint (which garnered far more interest than the tweets on the collapsing IranDeal) here's the @FedericaMog quote on this. It's minute 9 of this video. audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/video/I-173… 1/3

#Iran summary @GeraldFSeib "What the world is seeing isn’t so much a march toward war, but rather a battle for leverage: the considerable leverage the Trump administration has gained over Iran" & "the leverage Iran feels it badly needs to acquire over the US to balance the score"

Interesting hint from @FedericaMog. Says among ideas on the table for EU future is whether it should have its own intel unit to gather its own intel.
