Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan met in a frenzied Rafale of telephone diplomacy on Monday evening, the American president pressure on Israel to accept a truce while Qatar urged Tehran to register.
Shortly after Iran’s attack on Al Udeid, an American military base in Qatar on Monday, Monday, Asset And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded an agreement in principle, said a person familiar with the issue.
According to a diplomat also informed of talks, Trump told the Emir Qatari Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani that he had convinced Israel to accept a cease-fire and asked Doha to persuade the Iranian management to accept the truce.
The first person confirmed that Qatar Then spoke to Iran of the truce, which met in the space of about two hours. The White House did not respond to a request for comments.
The ceasefire capped an extraordinary 72 hours of climbing conflicts, during which Trump first deployed the military power of America against a historic enemy then increased heat on an ally in his quest for steep peace.
Iran’s attack on Al UdeidThe largest military base in the United States in the Middle East was in response to Trump’s decision to deploy stealth war aircraft to hit the main nuclear sites in Tehran with huge bunker bombs over the weekend.
But Trump Monday quickly pointed out that he would not retaliate for Iran strikes, which made no victim after the air defenses in Qatar managed to intercept the dam.
By thanking Iran “for having given us a notice early”, the American president described Tehran’s response to the bombing of his nuclear sites by Washington as “very weak”, and said that he hoped “they came out of their” system “.
Trump then orchestrated the diplomatic thrust to end the 12 -day conflict, triggered by the large -scale air assault of Israel against Iran.
Despite being the target of Iran’s attack, Qatar was a natural choice as an interlocutor. The small state of the Gulf is one of the rare nations which has historically had good links with Tehran and Washington and has a long work record as a mediator on behalf of the United States – from Afghanistan to Venezuela.
After the first call between Trump and Sheikh Tamim, US vice-president JD Vance and Prime Minister Qatari Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani coordinated the details and bound with the Israelis and the Iranians respectively, said the diplomat.
“After discussions with Qatari Prime Minister, the Iranians accepted,” said the regional diplomat. “Although it was attacked a few hours earlier, the Qataris set aside their grievances and prioritized regional security to conclude the agreement.”
In the early evening in Washington on Monday, Trump announced the sudden breakthrough, declaring the ceasefire and congratulating “the two countries, Israel and Iran, to have had endurance, courage and intelligence to end what we should call,” 12-day war “.
Early on Tuesday, he thanked the Emir of Qatar “for everything he has done by looking for peace for the region”.
But the fragile agreement was immediately tested. An Iranian strike on a residential building in southern Israel killed at least four people around 6 a.m., an hour before the entry into force of the ceasefire. Israeli authorities have said that two other missiles had been fired in northern Israel around 10:30 am.
Israel, who had carried out an intense Téhéran bombing throughout the night, said that he had responded by destroying a radar installation near the Iranian capital.
Netanyahu’s office said he had abstained from a more robust response after talking to Trump, who accused both sides of having raped the truce and said that he was “not satisfied with Israel”.
Both sides predictable the upper hand. Netanyahu’s office said the objectives of Israel’s exploitation had been achieved, while Iran said the truce had “imposed” the ceasefire on its enemy and boasted of its reprisals against the United States.
The indirect contact between the United States and Iran continued even during the conflict. Qatar and Oman have brought messages between Tehran and Washington, and Iran reported that he would accept the end of the war.
But despite the damage inflicted by Israel and the risk of American strikes, Iran’s management insisted that it would only accept a cease-fire that if Israel stopped shooting and that it would not capatize under Israeli and American pressure.
Israeli officials were also looking for a way to conclude the fighting since the United States has made its bombing raid on Iranian nuclear night facilities on Sunday, according to people familiar with the situation.
Although the extent of damage to nuclear installations is still being evaluated, Israeli officials have considered campaign achievements as “very important,” said a person familiar with government thought.
“This is the right time to stop,” said another, adding that Israeli officials wanted to transform their “military achievements into diplomatic achievements”.
The informed diplomat of the talks said that there were no “major conditions” at the cease-fire other than the fighting of the fighting, but the next issue will be whether the United States and Iran will resume talks to resolve the nuclear establishment with the Islamic Republic, which is at the origin of the crisis.
Another person familiar with the thought of the Israeli government confirmed that the Netanyahu administration had sought a simple end to hostilities – “we will stop, and they will stop” – after which he wanted to see a renewed diplomatic push from the international community on the Iranian nuclear program.
Trump said the American strikes on Sunday had “completely and completely erased” the two main nuclear installations in Iran – Fordow and Natanz.
For Netanyahu, Trump’s military intervention was crucial to allow him to claim that his objectives had been achieved, because Israel did not have the military firepower to cause significant damage to Fordow, which is buried deep under a mountain and is the main site where Iran produced very enriched uranium.
But the complete extent of the damage is still not clear. The fate of the 400 kg of uranium is not either
There was an early push for a ceasefire last week when the Sheikh Mohammed of Qatar had talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Istanbul on Thursday, the diplomat said.
This diplomatic effort was upset by American strikes on Iranian nuclear power plants, and there was no other interview before Monday evening.
Now the emphasis will be on nuclear talks. In a sign of future challenges, Iran’s atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami said on Tuesday that there would be no break in the diet nuclear activities.
