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.
In the Gulf, Tehran always retains control of the Strait of Hormuz, strategically important for the export of hydrocarbons from the Middle East to the rest of the world, causing severe economic turbulence thousands of kilometers away, and Washington is blocking Iranian ports in retaliation.
In the other theatre of the war, on the Lebanon front, there is no evidence of de-escalation, despite last week's announcement that the cease-fire between the Israeli army and Hezbola supposedly put into effect on 17 April is prolonged for a month and a half.
Israel's armed forces conducted a new series of air and artillery bombings in the southern part of the country.
The bombings killed 19 people yesterday, the Lebanese health ministry reported.
Hezbola, for her part, mentioned fighting with Israeli soldiers, always in the south.
It was also announced yesterday by NGOs that a man of Iranian origin returned to the US who served ten-year prison sentence in Iran after his conviction for espionage.
