US and Iran negotiate deal as missile arsenal runs out
The short version
Negotiations between the United States and Iran move forward as Washington faces a shortage of long-range missiles. Both sides avoid signaling compromise, but U.S. military capability is compromised after massive use of arsenal.
Negotiations between the United States and Iran are ongoing, according to Pedro Nascimento, who described them as a positive signal for the Middle East.4 Both countries avoid conveying the idea that they were forced to accept a deal, according to Nascimento.4 The United States is almost out of long-range missiles, according to CNN Portugal.3
The US long-range missile arsenal was' practically all 'used against Iran, according to CNN Portugal.3 The situation calls into question the US military capability in future conflicts or in the event of intensified attacks in the Middle East, according to CNN Portugal.3 Nuno Gouveia said that Donald Trump's positions on the war in Iran are undermining US credibility.2
Gouveia stressed that the US started the conflict unprepared and has no means to end it.2 The Iranian strategy includes the expansion of sea lanes as part of the pressure campaign against the US, according to CNN Portugal.1 The US administration does not intend to deepen military involvement in the Middle East before the November midterm elections, according to CNN Portugal.1
“Negotiations are a good sign for the Middle East, but neither the US nor Iran want to give the impression that they have been forced to accept a deal. Underlines that they both want the deal.”
“Trump's positions on the war in Iran are weakening the US. The country started the conflict without being ready and has no means to put an end to it.”
