While Iran and the United States seemed, in recent days, to be getting closer to an agreement, the New York Times reported on Saturday that the American president had toughened his proposal and sent a new version of the text to Tehran. The American media was not able to detail the changes made by the president. But according to the Axios site, Trump wants more firmness in Washington’s position on several aspects that he personally considers important, notably the fate of Iranian nuclear materials. On Saturday, the American Minister of Defense, Pete Hegseth, affirmed that the United States was “more than capable” of returning to war against Iran in the event of the failure of talks.

Meanwhile, tensions persist in the Middle East. The Revolutionary Guards, the ideological army of the Islamic Republic, claimed on Sunday to have shot down an American MQ1 drone which, according to them, was preparing to enter Iranian territorial waters to carry out “hostile operations”.

Iran is also demanding an end to the fighting in Lebanon where its ally, Hezbollah, and Israel have been clashing since March 2, despite a truce in force since April 17, but not respected. On Sunday, the Israeli army announced on X that it was “extending to other areas” its ground operation against the pro-Iranian movement after crossing the Litani River, in southern Lebanon.
