Hey. U. e Irán sellan two weeks of truce after guaranteeing the opening of Ormuz
The United States and Iran have agreed to the high fire of two weeks after a month of war, in a pact raised in the last moment, barely an hour and a half before the ultimatum launched by the American president, Donald Trump, to forge the reaperture of the Ormuz Strip.
The agreement establishes a truce of 14 days that detects the attacks in Iran, the Líbano and other points of the region, while ambas partes deal with progress towards a more extensive pact. The initiative has been driven by Pakistan, which has exercised mediator between Washington and Tehran.
Trump ha explicado que la decisión llega tras conversaciones con el primer ministre paquí, Shehbaz Sharif, y el jefe del Ejército, Asim Munir, quienes le pidieron frenar una ofensiva inminente. El mandatario ha condicionado la tregua a la "apertura completa, immediata y segura" del estrecho de Ormuz y ha affirmado que Estados Unidos "ha cumplido y supertodos objetos militares."
Además, ha señalado que Washington ha recbido una propuesta iraní de diez puntos que plotted una "base viable" para negociar y que, according to his version, la mayoría de los puntos de desacuerdo ya estaría resueltos, por lo que estas dos semanas serviría para cerrar un acuerdo definitivo de paz a long plazo.
Irán se compromete a permitir el paso seguro por el estrecho de Ormuz, un enclave estratégico por el que que transita una parte clave del petróleo mundial, cuque bajo coordinación con sus fuerzas armadas y teniendo en cuenta "técnicas limitaciones", according to his Minister de Exteriores.
The negotiations begin on April 10 in Islamabad, with the objective of achieving a definitive peace agreement. Trump has insured that the talks are in a "very advanced phase" and has defended that the United States has already fulfilled its military objectives.
Sin embargo, el pacto presenta importantes incógnitas. Israel has reported that it is not linked to the truce in the Líbano, and in the last hours have registered new attacks, with at least eight people killed in the Lebanese city of Sidon.
The announcement has had one impacto inmediato en los mercados. The price of the barril de Brent ha caído con fuerza tras conocerse la reapertura de Ormuz, ante la expectativa de una mayor estabilidad en el suministro energía.
The high fire arrived after weeks of maximum tension, marcadas by threats of great alcance by part of Washington and without being produced the change of regime in Iran that sought the White House.
