Breaking | According to WSJ, Iran has informed mediators it will continue restricting ship crossings through the Strait of Hormuz and impose tolls during the ceasefire period, maintaining tight control over maritime traffic.

Tehran is also pushing for a new long-term management system for the strategic waterway in any final agreement with the United States, aiming to formalize its authority over transit and toll collection.

Israeli Channel 15 reports that two IAF airmen have been arrested out of suspicion for spying for Iran. The two airmen allegedly spied on Israel on Iran's behalf for an extended period of time.

According to Trump's recent statements to CBS, Iran has agreed to all conditions, even providing the uranium, and will cut off support for Hezbollah and regional groups.

Either he is suffering from a mental illness and lying, or Iran wants to mislead them this time and buy time, because they have done this to Iran twice before; it is normal for Iran to do the same to them this time.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry denied that Iran agreed to hand over enriched uranium to the United States.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open for the remainder of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran.

Iran had previously refused to open the strait during the Islamabad round of negotiations, conditioning the move on a ceasefire in Lebanon as well.

This announcement came hours after Trump declared a #ceasefire in #Lebanon.

According to Iranian Tasnim, Iran has imposed three conditions for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz:

1. Ships must be commercial; the passage of military ships is prohibited, and neither the ships nor their cargo should be related to ‘hostile’ countries.

2. Ships must pass through the route designated by Iran.

3. The passage of vessels must be coordinated with the #IRGC Navy.
