8:34:29 PM: Surveillance video shared by the president shows a person barreling at full tilt through a Secret Service metal detector, stunning a half dozen officers. A swarm of officers chase after. Just down a staircase, 2,600 WHCD guests dine on a salad appetizer in the Washington Hilton ballroom.

50+ Iranian Speed Boats or Smugglers Crossing the Strait of Hormuz today.
I have never seen this many at the same time.
Have they started Mining the Deeper parts of the crossing in Omani Waters?

[Faytuks Network @FaytuksNetwork]

Meanwhile: Two other sanctioned tankers, NV AQUAMARINE and RAINE, are approaching the official U.S. blockade line. Both vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.

ホルムズ海峡を通過してオマーン湾に入った9隻のタンカーの現在位置（4月18日 21:10 UTC 現在）。

茶色が制裁対象船です。UAE・オマーン行きだった船舶は目的地に到着しています。中国を目指す2隻も，制止を受けず進行中にみえます。

黄色の非・制裁対象船も順調に進行中です。

The Israeli security cabinet meeting ended without taking a decision on a ceasefire in Lebanon, per two Israeli officials

JUST IN: U.S. military announces blockade of all maritime traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports starting on April 13 at 10 AM ET

[محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf @mb_ghalibaf]

Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets prior to the commencement of negotiations.

These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.

MAJOR BLOW TO THOSE DUMBFUCKS WHO WERE CLAIMING THAT THE JET ACTIVITIES OVER IRAN WERE PAF ESCORTING GHALIBAF :))

IRGC-owned TasnimNews denies the arrival of the Regime's diplomatic delegation in Islamabad:

"Reports of the Iranian negotiating team's arrival in Islamabad, Pakistan, are false.

An informed source told Tasnim News Agency that recent media reports claiming the arrival of an Iranian negotiating delegation in Islamabad, Pakistan, for discussions with American counterparts are entirely baseless.

The source emphasized that negotiations remain suspended until the United States fulfills its commitment to a ceasefire in Lebanon and the Zionist regime [Yeah, they think Zionist is an insult] ceases its attacks."

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

Iranian state media denies that Iranian negotiators have arrived in Pakistan.

"Iran has no plans to attend peace talks in Islamabad with the American side until a ceasefire is established in Lebanon."

Iran’s IRGC claims all ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is halted following Israel’s attack on Lebanon -CNN

[Ibrahim Jalal | إبراهيم جلال @IbrahimJalalYE]

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US–Iran ceasefire existed in headlines, opening with 162+ Iranian projectiles fired across the Gulf & Jordan, the highest single-day launch volume since 1 April (see visual 2).

🇦🇪 UAE: 17 missiles & 35 drones
🇰🇼 Kuwait: 4 missiles & 42 drones
🇧🇭 Bahrain: 6 missiles & 31 drones
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: 5 missiles & 9 drones
🇶🇦 Qatar: 8 missiles & 3+ drones
🇯🇴 Jordan: 2 missiles

The position gaps and shaky foundations are self-evident, even after both sides claimed victory. Much of the real work remains ahead — or risk a return.

[Steve Lookner @lookner]

WSJ: "Iran told mediators it would limit the number of ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz to around a dozen a day and charge tolls under the cease-fire struck by President Trump...Four ships were allowed to pass Wednesday, the fewest so far in April...Iran is requiring ships to work out toll arrangements ahead of time and then pay the fees in cryptocurrency or Chinese yuan, mediators and shipbrokers said."
