Surya International Bureau, Washington/Tehran: As the US-Iran war clouds are gathering in West Asia, key diplomatic developments are taking place. Former US President Donald Trump has made it clear that he has no plans to launch an immediate military attack on Iran at the moment. Speaking to reporters before leaving for a trip to Michigan, he confirmed that there will be no attack on Iran today.
At the same time, he issued dire warnings that the time has come to make a crucial decision on whether to reach a deal on Iran or end it with military action altogether. Emergency talks of Qatari ambassadors in Tehran: The Gulf country of Qatar has stepped in to calm the tensions between the two countries. A high-level delegation of Qatari mediators in coordination with the US arrived in Tehran, the capital of Iran, and began key talks. The delegation is in consultation with the representatives of the Iranian government on the issues of regional peace and security and restoration of maritime transport security.
However, the Iranian sources are making it clear that these types of talks are meaningless until America accepts their seven conditions, leading to a stalemate. Control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's response: On the other hand, Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic oil transit route, is currently under the control of US forces, and commercial traffic there is exceeding normal levels. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, has already warned that there will be an unexpected retaliation if they get caught. On the one hand, although the diplomatic missions are continuing, the military forces of both the countries are acting with full vigilance on the borders, and the developments in West Asia are making the international markets very nervous.
