The United States and Iran may resume talks in Pakistan, while the American military stands ready to strike at any moment. European leaders continue to calm the situation, calling for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
More than ten days after the U.S. blockade near the Strait of Hormuz, Washington intends to maintain pressure on Iran. “Iran has an important choice to make, a chance to conclude an agreement, a good agreement, a wise agreement. As part of this effort, the United States has imposed an inflexible blockade that strengthens day by day,” announced Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War.
A more diplomatic and concerted approach from European leaders, gathered in Cyprus on Friday. They focused their demand on a return to stability in maritime matters. “Negotiations must continue. The Strait of Hormuz must reopen immediately, without any restrictions or tolls,” declared Antonio Costa, President of the European Council.
Hope for a peace agreement is reignited, with the arrival of the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs in Pakistan on Friday, April 24 to discuss the conflict. The United States also indicate sending emissaries for talks. Finally, on Thursday night, Donald Trump announced a three-week extension of the ceasefire in Lebanon. A very fragile situation. Two people died after an Israeli attack in the south of the country, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
