The tensions remain lively in the Middle East this Sunday.
After a month blockade of Iranian ports, the American army announced that it had “neutralized” on Friday by air the two vessels in this access to the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the oil consumed in the world normally passes. An Iranian military source indicated that Tehran had responded. And the Islamic Republic denounced to the UN a “flagrant violation” of the truce.
L’Iran block the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the Israeli-American offensive on February 28, seriously disrupting the world economy. Naval skirmishes between Washington and Tehran have increased since the start of the month, while negotiations seem to be at a standstill awaiting an Iranian response to American proposals.
Donald Trump expects to receive a response “very soon”, the LCI television channel reported on Saturday, after a brief interview with the American president. He had already said the day before that he expected to receive “a letter” in the evening. Meanwhile, diplomatic contacts continue to try to find a solution to the conflict, which has left thousands dead, mainly in Iran and Lebanon.
