Ivo Daalder, former US Ambassador to NATO and Senior Fellow at the Harvard Belfer Center, joined Bloomberg TV and radio to discuss the recent extension of the US ultimatum by ten days regarding Iran. He expressed mixed views, suggesting the extension could either provide space for diplomatic talks to progress or serve as a prompt for escalation options. Daalder criticized the current US approach, indicating that the administration appears to have lost focus on the original objectives of the conflict. He highlighted that despite concerns about the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway remained open at the onset of military actions, implying that the strategic rationale for the war may be unclear or shifting.
