GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
L'ultimatum de Trump intervient a un moment de convergence maximale des crises : frappes americaines sur Kharg Island (90 % des exportations iraniennes), riposte de l'IRGC sur le complexe petrochimique saoudien de Jubail, petrole physique a 150 dollars, Guide supreme iranien signale inconscient et incapable de gouverner, et elimination par Tsahal de deux commandants IRGC-QF. La rhetorique presidentielle -- 'une civilisation entiere va mourir' -- franchit un seuil que meme le langage de la Guerre froide n'avait pas atteint. La question n'est plus de savoir si Trump bluff mais ce qui se passe quand un president qui 'ne se soucie pas des crimes de guerre' fait face a un adversaire dont le dirigeant supreme est peut-etre deja mort.
