A signature to be placed at the bottom of a 14-point document. Under the gilding of Versailles, Donald Trump initials the memorandum of understanding with Iran, congratulated by Emmanuel Macron, whose applause reflects the relief of part of the international community. This text, here it is, puts an end to hostilities for a period of 60 days, including in Lebanon. It is not a final agreement, but a road map which opens a period of negotiation. Top priority, reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The American army will lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports.
In exchange, Tehran must reopen this strategic lock without right of passage for 60 days. Ultimately, Iran and the Sultanate of Oman could be authorized to levy a tax that did not exist before the war. On nuclear power, it’s the biggest blur. The Iranian regime recommits not to develop nuclear weapons. But the fate of stocks of uranium already enriched will only be discussed at a later stage.
Has the Iranian regime emerged strengthened from this war? The president posed with a smile on his face with the document and proclaimed victory. Lift sanctions on oil, unfreeze certain assets. The text also provides for a regional plan financing the reconstruction of Iran to the tune of 300 billion dollars. Donald Trump also seems to be backing down on the destruction of missile stocks. “They have to have them because other countries have them. It’s not simple and the missiles are not the problem,” declared Donald Trump.
Did the American president make too many concessions? The opposition speaks of capitulation, but criticism also comes from its own camp. “The Iranians have understood that by taking the strait by the throat, they get what they want from the Western world.” lance Bill Cassidy, sénateur républicain de Lousiane.
Donald Trump’s initial ambition was to obtain an unconditional capitulation from Iran, but overtaken by the economic chaos and the unpopularity of this conflict, he is giving in on many points, giving some Americans the impression of having fought a war for nothing.
