After the Iranian response to the US base in Qatar for the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump announced the ceasefire in total confusion.
There was a lot of imprecision on the part of the President’s staff so much so that there was a risk until the last that the ceasefire would not be adopted by both sides. While the president announced the ceasefire, Iranian officials in New York said it was true but in Iran the media and politicians claimed the opposite. Trump had to call Benjamin Netanyahu to make sure everyone had understood everything. There were also mistakes in disclosing the start time of the ceasefire.
Arab countries condemn Iran: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman condemned the attacks. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, in a telephone conversation with his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, called on the countries of the region to unite and confront the Israeli regime. He stressed several times that Qatar is a brotherly country.
The thorny issues remained all on the table: nuclear program, Gaza, multipolarity. The Iranian ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland, says that the US and Israeli attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear sites were a clear violation of international law, stressing that Tehran will not give up its right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The work of the parliamentary committee also continues, which approved the general draft of a bill aimed at suspending Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in response to the conduct of the United Nations nuclear watchdog regarding the US and Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic.
IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said in a press release: “Despite the phenomenal result, we must keep our feet on the ground. Many challenges still lie ahead. We must remain focused, there is no time to rest on our laurels.”
From the Chief of Staff’s remarks: “We have concluded a significant phase, but the campaign against Iran is not over. We are entering a new phase based on the results of the current one. We have set back Iran’s nuclear project by years, as has its missile program. The IDF has given it its all: the Intelligence Directorate has achieved unprecedented intelligence results. IAF pilots have operated courageously, risking their lives thousands of kilometers from Israeli territory, striking and destroying military targets. The Aerial Defense Array and communications units have operated with their unique operational capabilities to protect the home front. The Home Front Command personnel have acted with ingenuity to save lives, all coordinated by the Operations Directorate. Every command, directorate and unit has contributed to the success of the operation, both through direct participation in the Iran operation and through solid defense in their respective areas. Now the focus is once again on Gaza. To bring the hostages home and dismantle the Hamas regime. I am proud to have the privilege of leading the organization during this period”.
