Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital and former White House
communications director, said he is pessimistic about a post-election diplomacy
breakthrough on Iran, saying he sees no consensus among Iran, Israel and the
United States for a negotiated settlement. He added that war would be very
damaging to business activity and markets and, while he hopes for a negotiated
solution, he sees no sign the three parties' positions will converge.
