Around the 25th day of the conflict in the Middle East, there is uncertainty surrounding the American-Iranian negotiations announced by Donald Trump. The President of the United States stated yesterday that he had found “major points of agreement” with Iran, but Tehran denied any discussion. Who is telling the truth? Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, an important figure in the regime, accuses Trump of spreading “false information to manipulate financial and oil markets.”
On the other side of the Atlantic, questions arise about hundreds of millions of dollars exchanged in oil just before a message from the American president indicating “positive conversations” with Iran and hinting at a positive outcome to the conflict. If he had confided in insiders, it would simply be insider trading.
Meanwhile, Israel continues its strikes on Lebanon, targeting strategic bridges suspected by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of enabling Hezbollah to transport men and weapons. Iran, also being targeted, retaliated by striking the Israeli state. In France, a Defense Council convened by Emmanuel Macron will take place this afternoon.
