LIVE, war in the Middle East: the Iranian nuclear issue cannot be resolved “in seventy-two hours”, believes the head of American diplomacy

Donald Trump’s latest statements, assuring that the United States did not intend ” rushing “ with a view to concluding an agreement with Iran, seem to respond to the criticisms expressed in his own camp this weekend on the prospects of a compromise, seen by certain Republican elected officials as too favorable to Iran, the sworn enemy of the United States.

Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, like Mike Pompeo, Donald Trump’s secretary of state during his first term, have expressed their opposition to Iran soon benefiting from advantages such as the possibility of freely selling its oil. Mr. Cruz estimated on his X account that the outcome could be a “disastrous mistake”.

“This makes no sense to me.”added outgoing Republican senator Thom Tillis on CNN on Sunday. “We are talking today about a position where we could accept that nuclear materials remain in Iran. How can this make sense? Likewise, a sixty-day ceasefire, and expecting them to liberate the Strait of Hormuz before the terms of the agreement are set, also seems questionable to me.”he said.

According to the media Axiosa possible agreement would provide for the extension for sixty days of the ceasefire currently in force, during which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, Iran would freely sell oil and negotiations would take place on Iranian nuclear power.

“I have the impression that this agreement will actually return us to the pre-war status quo”declared, for his part, Sunday, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen on the Fox News channel.
