Following Donald Trump's attacks on Pope Leo and Giorgia Meloni, with the American president even saying today on Fox News that he no longer has "the same relationship" with her, a new round of talks is approaching for the US and Iran . "They could resume in the next two days, but we're thinking of a place other than Pakistan ," Trump announced, assuring that "the war is almost over." According to the Wall Street Journal , eight oil tankers linked to Iran have been forced by the Americans to change course since April 13 , when Washington's naval blockade of the Straits went into effect. All the tankers have reportedly complied with the instructions.
In the desperate race against time to find a compromise, China has also entered the fray, offering four points for peace. Putin will be in Beijing by mid-year, Lavrov announced. "Constructive" talks between Israel and Lebanon in Washington on the truce: a green light has been given to the start of direct negotiations, with a date and location to be determined. The Italian government has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the memorandum of understanding with the Jewish state on defense cooperation.
