DUBAI/MOSCOW, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Iran threatened on Saturday to block a corridor planned in the Caucasus under a regional deal sponsored by U.S. President Donald Trump, Iranian media reported, raising a new question mark over a peace plan hailed as a strategically important shift.
A top Azerbaijani diplomat said earlier that the plan, announced by Trump on Friday, was just one step from a final peace deal between his country and Armenia, which reiterated its support for the plan.
FFS Trump really has to put his name on everything and his diplomacy always must contain something something USA...
On the one hand i hope for Armenia and Azerbaijan to move to a lasting peace, although the ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan is getting rewarded this way.
On the other hand i hope the whole "US exclusive development" is blowing right back in the face of Trump. Instead of US companies developing, it should be local companies. Preferrably Armenian and Azerbaijani working together.
