The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said this Tuesday that he is in no rush to close a peace deal with Iran that does not meet the objectives of a war launched by his country and Israel against the Islamic Republic because the naval blockade on Iranian coasts and ports gives them advantage in dialogue.
“We have annihilated their Navy, we have annihilated their Air Force. It's only a matter of time. We don't have to rush anything. We're keeping a "blockade that denies them access to any type of money," said Trump on Sid Rosenberg's radio show, close to the president.
The truce in the war initiated by the United States and Israel against Iran is at its weaker moment after Trum's own p would describe as “totally unacceptable” Tehran’s response to Washington’s peace proposal, of which the details are unknown.
Currently, Washington maintains a naval blockade on ports and coasts of Iran through which they have already interrupted the passage of some 65 commercial ships and disabled four, according to figures from the US Central Command.
The president warned this Monday that the ceasefire with Iran is “incredibly fragile” and said that, on reading the Iranian response, he felt that he was “wasting time”, so he noted that the truce in force since April 8 is on “assisted breathing”.
“They want to negotiate and they present us with a stupid proposal, it's a stupid proposal and no one would accept it. Only (former President Barack) Obama would have accepted it,” he said.
Trumo declared last week that if Iran accepted the agreed conditions for peace, he would terminate the military operations ares and the naval blockade against the Islamic Republic, but threatened attacks of greater intensity if Tehran does not accept the pact.
“If they don't accept, the bombing will begin and they will be, unfortunately, of a level and intensity much greater than before,” the president has assured.
The American president, who informed Congress that the war against Iran has ended, announced the suspension last Tuesday, at Pakistan's request n, of the military operation initiated a day before to facilitate navigation through the strait of Hormuz, interrupted by Iran as retaliation for the war.
According to U.S. officials, the president's decision was based on the progress made in the negotiations mediated by Islamabad.
