It has been the story of yes but no. For more than two months, with constant comings and goings, USA e Iran have been so close to sign peace like going back to bombs and total destruction. Or death, with the American president, Donald Trumpensuring that the Iranian Government is “loco”or agreement, with Trump himself saying that Tehran He seems very “intelligent and willing to negotiate.”
Now, after a few endless weeks, it seems so: both Washington like the Islamic Republic confirm that this Friday the formal signing of the agreementalready signed and agreed electronically last Sunday. Participating in the ceremony will be US Vice President JD Vanceand the president of the Iranian Parliament and Persian chief negotiator, Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf.
Another thing is knowing exactly what will be signed. Both parties have assured that the official content of the text will only be published once Ghalibaf and Vance have put black on white, but leaks have skyrocketed in the last few hours. Media like CNN, Bloomberg, Reuters and even the Saudi Al Arabiya They claim to have received the pre-agreement document, which consists of 14 points.
The leaked document represents a de facto capitulation of the Trump Administration and is very favorable to an Iran that claims victory at home. Tehran has seen how the US and Israel They have murdered a large part of their military and political leadership —including former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Jameneí—, pero ni washington ni Tel Aviv They have achieved their great objective: overthrowing the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian regime has survived, and the pre-agreement certifies this. Tehran will receive a rain of millionsin the form of “a fund of rehabilitation and economic development“, in addition to the lifting of sanctions and the return of frozen assets abroad in exchange, basically, for reopening the Strait of Hormuz – already open before the war – and for committing in writing not to develop the atomic bomb. Iran had already made such a commitment in the past.
Criticism at home
The leaked document has been harshly criticized in the US, both for democrats as for republicans dissatisfied with Trump, whose ultimate intention is to lower gas prices oil and gas before the arrival of the midterm elections of the month of November.
The downpour is such that even anonymous sources from the White House They have been quick to justify the text with Iran. “People should not read the language of the text too much to the letter. More than the text, what is important is what we have agreed between us, in creating the environment to be able to speak. The negotiators have used language that helps Iran claim victory in its domestic politics“an anonymous American source told CNN this Wednesday.
Another big criticism is Israelbut for different reasons. The Prime Minister’s Government Benjamin Netanyahu It has been opposed to an agreement with Iran from the beginning, and intends to continue pressing its offensive in southern Lebanon. The pre-agreement to be signed on Friday stipulates that the war will also end there, something that the far-right partners of Netanyahu reject.
“Quick negotiations have helped Iran. We have to wait, because there is no final agreement yet. But the pre-agreement it’s very bad [para Israel]”, declared this Wednesday the Israeli ambassador to the HIM, Danny Danon. Criticism has even reached Trump, who assured this Wednesday from France that the “pre-agreement is not definitive.” “If I don’t like it, then we will bomb them again and throw bombs at them over your heads, okay?”
Victory at home
The Iranian regime, of course, claims victory and hopes that the supposed future injection of money will help it undertake a economic revolution that saves the country from excessive inflationary ruin after decades of international isolation and an economy dominated by a corrupt, extractive and brutal Government against its own population.
“The worry and anger of zionist regime —Israel— with the negotiation process is a clear example of our success and military victory and diplomat of the Iranian nation. We will continue on this divine path with determination,” declared the President of Iran, Mesud Pezeshkian.
Once Washington and Tehran have signed this Friday, the two countries will enter into a 60 day period —extendable if there is an agreement between the two parties— to reach a final peace agreement which also includes the iranian nuclear program and the future of 440 kilos of highly enriched uranium currently under the possession of the Islamic Republic.
If there is a final agreement, Trump’s promises are astronomical: 300 billion dollars for reconstruction and development, total and absolute lifting of primary and secondary sanctions and the delivery of all Iranian assets frozen abroad for the last few decades.
