How Netanyahu is blocking compromise and fueling military escalation

US President Donald Trump has categorically rejected Iran’s counter-proposal to end the ten-week conflict, calling it “unacceptable” and leaving the world in a new diplomatic frenzy.

This sudden decision has caused chaos in global markets, with the price of oil rising by more than $4 a barrel in a few hours, while the Strait of Hormuz remains paralyzed and surrounded by tensions. military.

Iran delivered a response on Sunday that focused on stopping the war on all fronts, with particular emphasis on Lebanon, where Israel is fighting Tehran-backed Hezbollah militants.

Iran’s demands included an end to the US naval blockade, reparations for war damages, full sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions blocking the sale of oil.

However, Trump’s reaction was swift and harsh, declaring on social networks that he did not like the plan and that it was completely unacceptable, without offering any other details or a diplomatic way out.

While the US administration sought a truce before discussions on hotter issues such as the nuclear program, the role of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the main obstacle and “destroyer” of any possibility for compromise.

Netanyahu has openly stated that the war is not over and that diplomacy may not be enough to dismantle the Iranian threat, insisting on the elimination of enriched uranium and the destruction of nuclear bases, even through force.

This destructive stance by Netanyahu not only undermines US efforts for stability, but keeps the region in a cycle of violence where neither side agrees to withdraw.

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war held a fifth of global energy flows, has created a crisis that is hitting the pockets of American consumers and increasing political pressure on Trump just months before congressional elections.

Although NATO allies have refused to get involved without a full military peace agreement, the next steps remain unclear. Now the eyes of the world have turned to Beijing, where Trump is expected to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping to seek his intervention in Tehran.

But as Netanyahu continues to fan the flames of conflict and Iranian President Pezeshkian vows never to bow to the enemy, the road to peace seems more distant than ever. /tesheshi
