The agreement promoted by the United States and Iran to end months of regional tension took a decisive step this Tuesday with the confirmation that the memorandum of understanding between both parties will be signed next Friday in Switzerland; However, the announcement coincided with a toughening of Donald Trump's discourse towards Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

During the G7 summit held in Évian, France, Trump expressed confidence that the process will advance according to the planned schedule and allow a final agreement to be reached within 60 days. “I think it will be fulfilled more or less as planned,” said the president, referring to the roadmap negotiated between Washington and Tehran.

Although the full text of the memo has not yet been released, Trump insisted that the central principle of the agreement is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. "It's very simple. This is what it says: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon," he declared. He also noted that the understanding contemplates guaranteeing free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important energy routes on the planet, ensuring that it will remain open and “free of tolls.”

Despite this, as the rapprochement with Tehran advances, Trump raised the tone of his criticism of the Israeli government, especially for its military operations in Lebanon against the Shiite militia Hezbollah.

The American president expressed his dissatisfaction with some decisions of the Netanyahu government and called for a more cautious attitude during regional negotiations.

“I am not happy with what has happened there,” he said, referring to the Israeli attacks on Lebanese territory while diplomatic talks with Iran were taking place.

Still, Trump insisted that the bilateral relationship with Israel remains strong and called ties with Netanyahu “fantastic.” However, he made it clear that he considers it a priority to avoid actions that could jeopardize the diplomatic process underway.
