Sobre la propuesta de paz de diez puntos de Irán

Ninguno de estos puntos es irrazonable. De hecho, un compromiso serio con su cumplimiento bien podría sentar las bases de una estabilidad que la guerra continua ha arrebatado a la región desde hace mucho tiempo.

Trump’s Iran war is not going great for the NATO+ alliance

The only deal that the Iranians would accept to end this war would provide Iran with the right to determine who goes in and out of the strait – a matter of concern for the Europeans and for the US allies in East Asia.
