On the 26th day of the war, tension remains high in the Gulf. THE’Iran “non intende negotiate” with theUnited States. The Foreign Minister ofTeheran, Abbas Araghchihe denies even more forcefullyWashingtonfrom which ambiguous but conciliatory signals arrive. Shortly before, the spokesperson of theWhite House, Karolin Leavitthad ensured that icontacts con la Islamic Republic per porre fine alle hostility“they continue” and “they are productive”. The will of the President of the United States seems to emerge from Leavitt’s speech,Donald Trumpto close as soon as possibleconflictthat American public opinion does not understand and does not share.

While Leavitt promises that Trump will “raise hell” if he doesn’t seize the “opportunity to cooperate” offer to those he defines as “the remnants of the regime”, there is talk of aoperation“very close to reaching hersgoals” which was designed to last “four to six weeks” and is even “twenty days ahead of scheduleroadmap“. Simply put, theUsathey are ready tocloseand it is precisely this that leads Araghchi to raise the stakes, at least rhetorically, and ensure that “thecontinuous resistance“.

“The presidentTrumphe’s not bluffing,” Leavitt had said, “TheIranshould not commit againerrors of evaluation“. Words that ring on one sidethreateningon the other they seem to give theguerraas close toconclusion.
