Iranian General Mohamad Yafar Asadi considers it “likely” that the war will resume after the rejection by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, of the latest peace proposal sent to Pakistani mediators on Friday and of which the Republican stated that he is not “satisfied.” The magnate has also reiterated his “discontent” with Spain and Italy because, according to him, both governments are satisfied that Tehran could at some point acquire a nuclear weapon. Washington has authorized the sale of advanced weapons to Qatar worth nearly one billion dollars (about 920 million euros) within the framework of its strategy to reinforce key allies in the Middle East in full escalation. In addition, it will withdraw 5,000 of the soldiers it maintains deployed in Germany in protest against the Foreign Ministry’s position on the war, which represents an increase in tensions between the White House and its allies. The Strait of Hormuz remains blocked: two months after the start of the conflict, the vital maritime channel remains closed, threatening to hit economies around the world.
