The peace that is not consolidated. The new chapter of the war between the United States and Israel against Iran once again shatters the hope of reaching a pact between Donald Trump and the ayatollah regime. The American president threatened Iran this Monday that if they do not reach an agreement with Tehran, he "will finish the job" with more bombings and attacks on the country's energy plants.
"We can take down their bridges in an hour. We can put out of service their energy supply, all those big plants they have built," Trump wrote on his social network.
In this context, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abas Araqchí, warned that negotiations to bring about peace in the war will not resume until Trump ceases his threats. "Paragraph 13 of the Memorandum of Understanding is clear: negotiations on the final agreement will not begin as long as threats continue. Respect your signature," the minister explained via his X account.
Likewise, he stated in his writing that neither the population nor the Armed Forces "will be intimidated by any threat."
