With the Iran war, the US president, Donald Trump, has made backtracking a habit. In the midst of efforts to reach an agreement with Tehran to end the conflict initiated by Washington and Tel Aviv at the end of February, the president uses backtracking as a pressure tool, although he risks calling his credibility into question. The latest example took the form of a message on Truth Social on Monday, where Trump claimed he had authorized a new wave of attacks against Iran starting this Tuesday, but postponed them after three leaders of the allied Gulf monarchies requested more time to negotiate the nuclear agreement.

Things that come with age, Donald Trump shows on his social network that he is obsessed with looking younger than he is to silence the numerous and growing complaints about his physical decline and, above all, his mental state.

TV schedules in the United States were interrupted once again by news on the gun epidemic front, that disease so characteristic of this country. At a time of high sensitivity, this time the tragedy occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego, the largest in this city in southern California, with 1.4 million residents.
