Milan, 11 July (LaPresse) – The Trump administration is increasingly pessimistic about the prospects of concluding the nuclear deal with Iran. This is according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing senior US officials. The newspaper highlights that one of the officials reported that Iran should commit to declaring by today that the Strait of Hormuz is open and that it will stop firing on ships, or else face serious consequences, whilst the other officials interviewed by the WSJ did not specify a precise deadline. The newspaper, referring to the fact that sources consider it increasingly unlikely that a nuclear deal can be reached, emphasises that this is a rare admission that one of the fundamental objectives of Trump’s foreign policy – namely, curbing Tehran’s nuclear programme – may not be achievable through peace negotiations.
