The unknown remains about the state of progress, or even the current existence of negotiations between Tehran and Washington. In recent days, Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that “major points of agreement” have been reached. After rejecting a peace deal proposal, Iran explained that direct negotiations were not taking place, but intermediaries were transmitting messages. Publicly, Donald Trump is escalating by emphasizing that the Islamic Republic is desperate for a peace deal, but its leaders “are afraid to say it because they would be killed by their people.”
On the ground, bombs are still raining down: Israel indicated this Thursday morning that it had carried out a series of massive strikes targeting Iranian regime infrastructure throughout the country. Meanwhile, G7 members are coming together this weekend to try to obtain clarity from the United States about their plans and objectives in this war that Washington is struggling to justify and is destabilizing the entire world.
Key points to remember:
- “Iran is begging us to conclude an agreement,” says Donald Trump.
- The United States has submitted a “15-point action plan” to Iran.
- Iran will be attentive to any Spanish request regarding navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
