Donald Trump’s threat to annihilate Iran has been postponed by two weeks. The United States and Iran have agreed to a 15-day ceasefire in exchange for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
American and Israeli flags are being burned in the streets of Tehran. Despite the ceasefire, pro-regime Iranians have gathered to reaffirm their hostility towards Washington. “We cannot trust the United States. Until a resolution from the Security Council is adopted, we cannot trust them at all,” shares a protester.
In the streets of New York (United States), anti-war protesters are skeptical. “It may all start again in just two weeks, or even sooner. So, it’s a relief, but in the short term,” says one of them.
Donald Trump announced the halt of combat on the night of Tuesday, April 7 to Wednesday, April 8. He claims to have won the war: “I agree to suspend bombings and attacks against Iran for two weeks. We have already achieved and surpassed all our goals,” he wrote on his social network.
Iran, on the other hand, announces the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Republic is the winner of the conflict according to Michaël Benhamou, director of the European Institute of War: “In this long war between Iran, Israel, and the United States, Iran has just won a battle. The Iranians understood that Trump needed just one thing to save face, which was to reopen Hormuz. This allows Trump to tell his base: look, I have achieved something important.” The United States is considering a face-to-face meeting with Iranian representatives.
