The ten-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel brings a fragile respite to a region under tension, despite persistent violations. Behind the scenes, are things changing? Donald Trump welcomed a close agreement with Iran, affirming that Tehran would be ready to part with its enriched uranium, without confirmation from Tehran. Pressure remains at a maximum in the Strait of Hormuz, but the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs declared at the end of this Friday afternoon that the Strait of Hormuz was completely “open”. In Paris, European leaders are working on securing this strategic axis. In the United States, Donald Trump’s strategy is contested, against a backdrop of rising energy prices and questions about the role of Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington’s choices. Meanwhile, the oil giants are taking advantage of the crisis, reigniting the debate about their superprofits.
