Neither war nor peace: what will the new exchanges of blows between Iran and the United States lead to?

Washington and Tehran are stuck in a gray area of negotiations, but still want to make a deal.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on June 2 that Tehran would not stand aside if crimes against the Lebanese people did not stop. According to him, the Iranian side has been actively engaged in the issue of stopping the attacks for the past two days. Ghalibaf also confirmed his determination to achieve a complete ceasefire during a conversation with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.

The Axios portal added that US President Donald Trump, in a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on June 1, sharply criticized his actions in the Middle East, calling the Israeli prime minister "crazy." It was noted that the President was concerned about the large number of civilian deaths, as well as the destruction of entire buildings.
