View DetailsFor five consecutive days, the United States forces have launched a strike against Iran with the intention of reducing its ability to attack on this critical channel in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is even more threatening to blow up the Iranian power plant and bridge next week if an agreement is not reached, while Tehran warns that war will spread if the United States continues to attack. Dr. Faman Farmanian, a lecturer in international politics at Cambridge University, said that the White House would soon have to return to the negotiating track, particularly in view of the approaching mid-term elections in the United States. She noted that the Iranian side was eager to negotiate, that the door was open, and that the Iranian economy was “very bad” before the conflict erupted. She added, however, that, to date, Iran has completely lost its trust in the United States. In Iran ' s view, the United States again withdrew from the memorandum of understanding, as it did from the Iran nuclear agreement during the first term of Tromp. Earlier this year, following a joint strike against Iran with Israel, Trump concluded a memorandum of understanding with Tehran, in which the parties committed themselves to a permanent ceasefire within 60 days. However, the ceasefire quickly broke down — Iran attacked its vessels, which it accused of attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without permission, while the United States responded with an escalating blow. Farman Farmanian suggested that the war was not sustainable. She stated that the economic situation in Iran was undoubtedly forcing them to the negotiating table. By the same token, higher oil, inflation and fertilizer prices would force the US to return to negotiations. After all, Trump faced medium-term elections, which, if anything else, were crucial to its political legacy. Kim Xian
