Asia's oldest living organism, the ancient Abarkuh cypress tree - at least 4500 years old - is rooted in land that was already known as Iran at the time.
In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.
His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.
The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.
The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.
Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region.

Iran's position is being misrepresented by U.S. media.
We are deeply grateful to Pakistan for its efforts and have never refused to go to Islamabad. What we care about are the terms of a conclusive and lasting END to the illegal war that is imposed on us.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi attacks Trump now:
"You must send your soldiers to Iran, as you said, to open the Strait of Hormuz if you are brave and stand by your word. Don't talk so much, just send your powerful soldiers to Iran."
"And if you are afraid to send them by plane as happened before, we will send you an Iranian plane to transport them."
"I tell you: within 30 days, in front of the whole world, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed by order of Iranian sovereignty, and no one will dare to open it, not even after 100 years."
"Ask your friend Netanyahu what we are doing to him and his people every day; we are plunging them into a constant nightmare, and you will soon be rid of this nightmare."
"This is the first time he has spoken in this manner since the beginning of the war. Truly powerful words."
Iran respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation.
Our operations are aimed at enemy aggressors who have no respect for Arabs or Iranians, nor can provide any security. Just look at what we did to their aerial command.
High time to eject U.S. forces.
