What hotinfo is watching
- Whether USA-Iran nuclear negotiations survive the Hormuz dispute and pressure over Lebanon, as Washington refuses to exchange oil sanctions for reopening of the strait under Mojtaba Khamenei's rule.
- How far Trump's dispute with Netanyahu will go — whether American pressure will stop the Israeli offensive in Lebanon, or whether Netanyahu continues despite it.
- Whether the new EU agreement on migrant returns and centers in third countries will overcome the legal and ethical opposition already coming from Switzerland and Luxembourg — and what its impact will be on Slovakia.
