Yemen is closing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in support of its ally Iran, which has closed the Strait of Hormuz, meaning that nearly one third of the world's oil reserves are being blocked from the global economy. This will cause the global fuel shortage go critical within weeks and cause fuel prices to soar leading to a global recession.
🇮🇷🇺🇸 Explosions reported in Khondab, central Iran.
That's not a coastal strike. That's home of the Arak reactor, Iran's 40-megawatt heavy water nuclear facility. The furthest the U.S. has struck since the MoU was signed.
This is a different kind of hit.

🚨 BREAKING:
🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's Foreign Ministry says the U.S. strikes on its southern coast have officially killed the war-termination deal.
Between the attacks, Washington revoking Iran's oil export waiver, and the Hormuz standoff, it says the agreement's core terms are now "ineffective" and the U.S. carries "full responsibility" for whatever comes next.
It also put Gulf neighbors on notice: hosting U.S forces that attack Iran and you're complicit, vowing to hit "the source and origin of any aggression".

🇮🇷🇷🇺 Russia's Medvedev just told the world Iran has 2 maritime weapons, and one of them hasn't been used yet.
The deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council called the Strait of Hormuz Iran's strategic equivalent of a nuclear weapon, then pointed to Bab al-Mandeb as a "backup."
The strait connecting the Red Sea to the Suez Canal is already under Houthi threat, with Israeli ships banned since June 8.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇱🇧🇾🇪 Trump:
"Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble.
If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!"
Trump has now adopted a strategy of trying to prevent Iran and Hezbollah from causing any more problems through attacks and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Will it work?

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran just suspended its delegation's trip to Switzerland for the opening round of nuclear negotiations, due to ongoing Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon.
Tehran's argument: Israel operating over 6 miles inside Lebanese territory violates Article 1 of the MoU, which calls for an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts including Lebanon.
If the ceasefire clause is already being breached before the first negotiating session begins, Iran says there's nothing to go to Geneva for.
Trump posted expecting "a complete ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel." Israel is still operating in Lebanon as they said they would.
Iran is now using this as leverage to pause the talks before they start.

Iran's parliament speaker says that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to the pre-war situation -Fars
Ghalibaf adds that Iran has the right to charge fees for transit. MoU says that Iran and Oman will discuss SoH arrangements.
🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israeli intelligence told their leadership that Mojtaba Khamenei has zero intention of signing a final nuclear agreement.
Iran accepted the framework only to reopen Hormuz and get economic relief, not to make real nuclear concessions.
The security officials reportedly warned that Tehran will drag out the 60-day talks to further advance its breakout time.
Is this Israel being mad about the outcome of the deal? Or are there real concerns from the Iranians that need to be addressed?
