Has Donald Trump backed down? The American president announced, from Tuesday night to Wednesday, a two-week ceasefire in Iran, just before the end of his ultimatum. For the White House tenant, this agreement is a “victory.” On the other hand, Tehran also claims success.
Invited to LCI on Wednesday, April 8, Dominique Simonnet, an expert on the United States, criticized Donald Trump. The American president “invents a victory. It is only a truce with an absolutely hallucinatory basis. The ten points that the Iranians present are an absolute triumph for Tehran,” said the specialist. However, Donald Trump highlighted that it is “a viable negotiating basis” concerning the plan proposed by Iran.
“All the issues that were war goals are totally in favor of the Iranian regime. It continues nuclear and not only controls the Strait of Hormuz but would establish a toll,” points out Dominique Simonnet. These different points question this specialist on the United States.
“It’s a farce, it’s impossible for Americans to accept that. Or else, we have reached a level of hysteria and helplessness in the White House that is really worrying,” also notes Dominique Simonnet.
