Tuesday, Iran and the United States announced a two-week ceasefire agreement in the Middle East, just moments before the end of the ultimatum set by Donald Trump. Only a few hours later, the region seemed on the brink, amidst increasingly alarming threats from the American president.
A surge in strikes, American threats, and a two-week ceasefire. In a matter of hours, the war in the Middle East took a crucial turn, with a temporary halt to offensives announced around 1 a.m. (French time). Despite this, the world held its breath after an escalation of attacks in the afternoon and threats of annihilation from the American president.
Less than 24 hours before the end of the ultimatum issued by Donald Trump, Israeli-American strikes hit strategic points in Iran on Tuesday, April 7, around noon. The White House tenant maintains pressure as he threatens to hit Iranian energy infrastructure if the country does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. A strategy criticized, as the destruction of civilian infrastructure is considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention.
At the same time, the Israeli army attacks “dozens of infrastructures,” causing several deaths and injuries. Among them, bridges and railways. The Iranian Kharg oil refineries, a crucial point in Iran’s oil industry, are also targeted by strikes, significantly raising the price of American oil barrels.
This has sparked a wave of concern among neighboring countries. Qatar warns that the region is “very close” to a point where the escalation “cannot be controlled anymore.”
