The Making of the World – USA

After the unilateral extension of the truce with Iran by the United States, the situation remains confused between the two countries in both the Persian Gulf and the negotiations to try to find a peace agreement. The two countries do not seem to speak the same diplomatic language.

On one side, there is Iran, with a diplomatic tradition of negotiating for years with Western countries on specific issues – nuclear, sanctions – within a well-defined framework with identified partners, and under the seal of secrecy, a trademark negotiation tactic of the Iranian regime, particularly evident in the recent release of French hostages.

Unsurprisingly, a few days ago, an Iranian official questioned the seriousness of the United States in the negotiation.

On the other side, there is Donald Trump, breaking the tradition of private negotiations with successive American presidents. He flip-flops between existential threats and hopes for an agreement, all while issuing ultimatums that are constantly postponed.

This behavior has led to what is known as the “TACO syndrome” – Trump always chickens out – characterized by impatience and mood swings, pushing White House advisors to keep the President away from certain meetings.

Despite this, Trump sets the tone for the negotiation, showing a desire to quickly resolve the situation through actions such as sending a delegation to negotiate in Islamabad and proposing a unilateral ceasefire.

Iran, on the other hand, maintains its defiant posture in the Strait of Hormuz and accuses the American blockade of its ports as a violation of the ceasefire. However, they appreciate Pakistan’s efforts to facilitate negotiations and are aware of the economic and political consequences of the situation.
