🚨BREAKING NEWS
Iranian official:
‘Iran has not requested Trump not to attack’
According to Fars news Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until further.
🇮🇷 🇺🇸 NEW: Iran has rejected the latest U.S.-backed Qatari proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and denied Israeli Channel 12's report that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accepted the deal, calling the claim false, per Fars News Agency.
BREAKING: A source close to the Iranian negotiating team told Fars News:
“There is no agreement on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and the news published on this subject is false.
As long as hostile American actions continue, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed, and ship movement will only be possible via the announced route and with permission from the naval force of the Revolutionary Guard.”
Ukrainians released a video showing the massive destruction Russian attacks on Ukraine caused in the past week. According to them, Russians launched approximately 1,900 drones, nearly 1,600 air bombs, and 144 missiles at Ukraine.
Impressive.
By the way, just this morning reports said 6 Russian glide bombs were launched at targets in Sumy. Ukrainians brag about hitting a few warehouses in Russia while the Russians wipe out entire cities in Ukraine.
You don’t have to be a military expert to understand who has the upper hand in this conflict.
The Iranian Embassy in South Africa responded to a statement by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said that "only foolish countries do not respond when they are attacked."
In its statement, the diplomatic mission strongly criticized the United States and expressed disagreement with its support for Israel.
The statement reads:
"Only a foolish country goes to war for Israel."
"Only a foolish country attacks another country to close a strait that has always been open to the whole world, and then tries to open it again."
"Only a foolish country harms the global economy with a senseless war."
The statement ends with an address to Rubio:
"Mr. Rubio, is this enough, or should I continue? What a disgrace for you."
IRAN REJECT TRUMP CLAIM
Iranian Military Officials:
"The terrorist claims by the U.S. President that Iran has asked to halt the attacks are merely a new lie and a desperate attempt to extort the rulers of the Persian Gulf and pressure them with threats.
Whether he continues his aggression or retreats from it, our forces are at the highest level of readiness and are prepared for any eventuality. If confrontation becomes inevitable, the battlefield will be the decider, and at that time, everyone will understand who holds the power and who will speak the final word."
