The fragile cease the fire between Iran and Israel holds up. Two days after announcing the truce and after anticipating the imminent recovery of the interviews with Tehran on the nuclear program, Donald Trump hopes to achieve what he called “a global peace agreement”. According to Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, the United States are “discussing with the Iranians”. “Several interlocutors are contacting us and I think they are ready,” said Witkoff.
The ceased the fire is proceeding “very well”, said the president, according to which after 12 days of conflict Iran and Israel were “tired, exhausted”.
According to the last Iranian official budget, which lists only civil victims, the Israeli military campaign caused at least 627 deaths and over 4,870 injured. Iran reacted with missile attacks and drones, killing 28 people in Israel.
Tehran, who reiterated his “legitimate rights” to develop a civil nuclear program, declared himself ready to resume the talks with Washington for an agreement that regulates his nuclear program in exchange for the revocation of the sanctions.
“We will talk next week with Iran, we could sign an agreement, I don’t know,” announced Donald Trump after the top born at the Hague.
The war prevented the conduct of a new session, scheduled for June 15, of the Iranian-American interviews, mediated by Oman, who had been started in April. Tehran admitted that his nuclear plants were “significantly damaged” by Israeli and American bombings, but but The experts raised the possibility that Iran had prepared the attack by evacuating its about 400 kilograms of uranium enriched at 60%, a level close to the 90% threshold necessary to develop an atomic bomb.
According to a document revealed yesterday by the CNN, the attacks sealed the entrances of some plants without destroying the underground buildings, delaying the Iranian program of only a few months. The White House confirmed the authenticity of the relationship, but called it “completely incorrect”.
The spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, assured Fox News that the United States “have no signal that the highly enriched uranium was moved before attacks” and insisted on the fact that the plants are now “buried under kilometers and kilometers of rubble”.
The revelations of the CNN irritated the President of the United States, who announced a press conference by the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for today’s 13th Italian hour. The aim? “Fighting for the dignity of our great American drivers”, that is, showing that the outcome of the mission of almost 40 hours of flight that brought B2 to the Iranian skies was not vain nor vacua.
The war inflicted a “hard blow” at Tehran’s nuclear program, but it is “still early to evaluate the results of the operation”, admitted the Israeli military spokesman, the Brigadier Effie Defin general.
Same observation made by the International Agency for Atomic Energy according to which it is impossible in this phase to evaluate the damage and requested access to the sites. The United Nations Agency “has lost visibility (of the raid of enriched uranium) from the moment of the beginning of hostilities”, explained its general manager, Rafael Grossi.
Meanwhile, Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh has a meeting of the organization for the cooperation of Shanghai (SCO) in China with Russian and Chinese homologous on the agenda.
