American President Donald Trump once again threatened Tuesday to order Iran to be bombed unless an agreement is concluded with this country, while the Iranian army promised it would open «new fronts» If the United States resumes the war.
The Republican billionaire reiterated that he hopes not to have to restart the attacks. «But we may have to get them another heavy hit. I'm not sure at the moment.»He told reporters at the White House.
When a journalist asked him how eager he was to wait until Iran came to the negotiating table, he preferred not to give a specific answer. «Two or three days, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, something like that, maybe by the beginning of next week.».
Earlier, Qatar called to be given «more time» diplomacy to resolve the conflict that has cost thousands of people their lives, their vast majority in Iran and Lebanon, where the Shia Hezbola movement, which is near Tehran, acts.
Yesterday Monday Trump said he canceled at the last moment a new attack on the Islamic Republic scheduled to be launched yesterday Tuesday.
It had never been mentioned before in the attack plan before it announced via Truth Social that it revoked an order to resume military operations because «They asked him.» the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, because they consider it possible to conclude an agreement.
American Vice President J.D. Vance also sent ambiguous messages during an interview Press at the White House yesterday, speaking from the one on «progress» In the negotiations that are taking place through Pakistan, but by noting that the US has «full» The weapons are «ready» to start the war again.
«In the final analysis, either we reach an agreement, or we do not reach an agreement.», was the oracle of the vice president, who reiterated that Washington is holding the «finger on trigger».
«Nonsense»
«If the enemy commits the folly to fall back into the Zionist trap and proceeds to a new attack on our beloved Iran, we will open new fronts against him», interceded yesterday from the other representative of the Iranian army, Mohammad Akraminia, according to the Iranian news agency ISNA.
The attack – for which there was no responsibility – against a nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday was condemned alongside the UN Security Council, including Russia. Earlier yesterday, the UAE announced that the drones used in this attack arrived on their territory from Iraq, where armed factions adjacent to Iran are present.
Since a ceasefire was announced on 8 April, after some 40 days of hostilities, since 28 April, fermenting has been under way in search of a way to end the war, but Washington and Tehran's positions seem to be far away, especially with regard to the Iranian nuclear energy programme.
The day before Monday morning, Iranian diplomacy made known that a new proposal was being served on the US to lift the deadlock, without any clarification of its contents. He reiterated Iranian requirements, including the release of Iranian resources committed abroad and the lifting of international sanctions causing asphyxiation in the country's economy.
In Lebanon, hostilities do not stop
The U.S. government says it aims to ensure that Iran never acquires a nuclear arsenal – although the other side denies for decades how it feeds such ambition.
Iranian media criticises them «excessive» conditions of the latter «tender» Washington. According to the FARS news agency, Washington in particular requires Iran to maintain only one nuclear facility in operation and accept to surrender and transfer to the US its highly enriched uranium stock.
Στον Κόλπο, η Τεχεράνη διατηρεί πάντα τον έλεγχο του στενού του Ορμούζ, στρατηγικής σημασίας για την εξαγωγή υδρογονανθράκων από τη Μέση Ανατολή στον υπόλοιπο κόσμο, προκαλώντας έντονες οικονομικές αναταράξεις χιλιάδες χιλιόμετρα μακριά, κι η Ουάσιγκτον τον αποκλεισμό των ιρανικών λιμανιών σε αντίποινα.
Στο άλλο θέατρο του πολέμου, στο μέτωπο του Λιβάνου, δεν υπάρχει η παραμικρή ένδειξη αποκλιμάκωσης, παρά την ανακοίνωση της περασμένης εβδομάδας πως παρατείνεται για ενάμισι μήνα η κατάπαυση του πυρός ανάμεσα στον ισραηλινό στρατό και τη Χεζμπολά που υποτίθεται πως τέθηκε σε εφαρμογή τη 17η Απριλίου.
Οι ένοπλες δυνάμεις του Ισραήλ διεξήγαγαν νέα σειρά βομβαρδισμών, από αέρος και με το πυροβολικό, στο νότιο τμήμα της χώρας.
Οι βομβαρδισμοί σκότωσαν 19 ανθρώπους χθες, ανέφερε το λιβανικό υπουργείο Υγείας.
Η Χεζμπολά από την πλευρά της έκανε λόγο για συγκρούσεις μαχητών της με ισραηλινούς στρατιώτες, πάντα στον νότο.
Ανακοινώθηκε εξάλλου χθες από ΜΚΟ η επιστροφή στις ΗΠΑ άνδρα ιρανικής καταγωγής που εξέτισε ποινή κάθειρξης δέκα ετών στο Ιράν, μετά την καταδίκη του για κατασκοπεία.
