As the ceasefire between the United States, Israel, and Iran is set to expire on Wednesday, tensions continue in the Strait of Hormuz. Both parties, the United States and Iran, have insisted on signing a peace agreement, but nobody wants to lose face, explains General Vincent Desportes, who has strong opinions about Donald Trump.
Despite the ceasefire scheduled to end this Wednesday, the war seems to be ongoing in the Middle East, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, blocking both the United States and Iran, leading to serious consequences for oil prices worldwide.
On Sunday, the U.S. navy opened fire on an Iranian cargo ship attempting to break the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. Donald Trump personally announced this on his Truth Social network. The Iranian container ship Touska, which departed from Malaysia about a week ago, tried to breach the American blockade. According to the American president, the crew was warned but refused to comply.
The day before, several commercial ships, including a French cargo ship, were targeted by Iranian gunfire.
“Donald Trump acts without strategy,” General Vincent Desportes commented. “Both sides want to stop the war, but they are escalating the situation,” he added, criticizing Donald Trump’s approach.
“The Iranians need time to recover,” General Desportes emphasized. He also expressed concerns about the economic crisis that Iran may face if another wave of bombings occurs, as the current Guardians of the Revolution in power aim to stay in control.
Furthermore, General Desportes pointed out that the President’s actions could lead to war crimes, especially if he carries out his plans to destroy civilian infrastructure. The general also criticized both Donald Trump and Iranian leadership as poor negotiators.
General Desportes suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have influenced Donald Trump to attack Iran, believing that eliminating key figures would end the war and further Israel’s territorial ambitions.
