BREAKING: Iran says its negotiating delegation will not return to the Switzerland talks until Trump personally apologizes for his threats today and Israel fully withdraws from southern Lebanon, with Iran's delegation plane already repositioned to Zurich ready to fly back to Tehran, per Al-Mayadeen.
This comes after Trump told Fox shortly before his Truth Social post that if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz "you won't have a country" and "you won't even make it BACK to your f**king country," as a direct assassination threat against the Iranian delegation.
BREAKING: Iranโs negotiating delegation is now walking out of the Switzerland talks in protest of Trumpโs new threat to โhit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder,โ with talks now fully suspended, per Tasnim.
Iranโs Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, who heads the Iranian negotiating team, has also personally responded saying โwe donโt take American threats seriouslyโ and warns โour armed forces are ready to give them an answer in a different way.โ

BREAKING | Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announces the closure of the Strait of Hormuz:
"Given the United States' blatant violation of its commitments and its breach of the agreement regarding the non-implementation of the first clause of the ceasefire understanding, and in response to the continuous and ongoing violations of the ceasefire by the entity in southern Lebanon, which have resulted in brutal killings and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of this oppressed country's citizens, as well as due to the failure of the occupation forces to withdraw from the territories of southern Lebanon, we announce the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to ship traffic and maritime navigation.
We confirm that this is the first step in response to the enemy's breach of its commitments. In the event of continued aggressions, further steps will be planned and implemented to compel the enemy to abide by and implement its obligations."

A pack of cops arresting a kid saying โI need to get to school so I can take my testsโ for trying to cut through the parade route that has frozen lower Manhattan (but students donโt get a day off).
Shitshow.
Nothing ever changes despite the explicit and crystal clear promises made by people who purport to share your politics. I would love to be proven wrong on this but every single thing Mamdani has done on policing since taking office has signaled otherwise. Heโs utterly capitulated
