Trump's Iran deal sparks controversy; war ends in losses for all

Today's international newspapers focused on the criticisms leveled against the agreement and its repercussions for all parties involved in the Iran war.

Trump Faces Criticism and Comparisons to Obama's Deal After Reaching an Understanding with Iran

An analysis in the British newspaper, the Financial Times, stated that US President Donald Trump is currently facing criticism from both his Republican allies and Democratic opponents regarding the agreement he reached with Iran to end the recent war. Accusations have surfaced that the new understanding may not differ significantly from the nuclear agreement concluded by Barack Obama's administration in 2015, which Trump withdrew from during his first term.

Critics argue that while the agreement has contributed to restoring navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, it came after months of war and significant financial and military costs, without clear guarantees regarding the dismantling of Iran's nuclear program. The lack of a published text of the agreement has also raised concerns within Congress. Observers believe the understanding still lacks details and clear implementation mechanisms, unlike Obama's agreement, which was described as more detailed and subject to stricter oversight

The war with Iran: Everyone lost, no one won

In a related context, the American magazine Foreign Policy argued that the war with Iran produced no true victor, but rather inflicted losses on all parties involved. While the United States and Israel failed to achieve their stated political objectives, Iran also emerged from the war weaker economically and with less room to maneuver, despite the survival of the ruling regime.

The magazine points out that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz exposed the fragility of the Gulf states and their dependence on regional stability, and deepened their doubts about the United States' ability to protect them from the repercussions of conflicts. Russia and China achieved some temporary gains, but the war demonstrated the limitations of their influence and their inability to decisively affect the course of the crisis or protect their interests and those of their partners.
