The ceasefire announced between Israel and Iran will only have held a few hours. Less than a day after the signing of the agreement, US President Donald Trump accused Israel of having immediately raped him, causing a resumption of hostilities.
“As soon as we concluded the agreement, they (Israel) came out and dropped a bunch of bombs, as I had never seen,” he said on Tuesday, before flying to a NATO summit in The Hague. Visibly angry, Trump continued without restraint:
“We have roughly two countries that have been fighting for so long and so hard that they no longer even know what they are doing. »»
This brutal outing contrasts with the language usually measured in diplomatic affairs. It reveals the frustration of the American president in the face of an agreement which he had personally supported, and which already seems compromised.
The Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, claimed “intense strikes” on Tehran, justified according to him by an alleged Iranian violation of the Truce. Tehran categorically denies, and accuses Israel of sabotaging the process in its early hours.
In retaliation, Iran has threatened to respond with force to any new attack. Tensions remain lively, and the fragile American mediation appears more uncertain than ever.
