🔴 Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says his country was unable to export any oil during the US blockade on its ports, noting that exports have since surged

🔴 “From the day the blockade was lifted until today, we have exported more than 40 million barrels of oil,” Ghalibaf told state TV

🔴 “By contrast, during the previous 50 to nearly 60 days, we were genuinely unable to export even a single barrel of oil,” he said

🔴 US Vice President JD Vance has criticized Israel for a “weird panic” and “freakout” over the agreement struck between the US and Iran

🔴 “There is this weird panic almost in the Israeli system that I’ve picked up on where they assume that everything that is contemplated that is good for Iran will happen – but that will happen without the Iranians changing any behavior,” Vance told the New York Times

🔴 “That’s not how the deal is written,” he said

🔴 Vance accused Israel of a lack of trust in its strongest ally. “I find this whole freakout in Israel a little bit odd because I think that it comes from a place of mistrust, and I think that America has earned the trust of that region of the world”

🔴 Citing specific critics of the deal – far-right Israeli cabinet ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich – Vance said: “I guess my response to them would be: What is your exact proposal? You’re a country of 9 million people. You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have”

🔴 Trump says the strike came at a time when the US and Iran are close to reaching a peace agreement

🔴 Trump says Israel has the right to defend itself, but adds that the attack it was responding to was too minor to justify disrupting peace efforts

🔴 “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down,” Trump wrote on Truth Social

🔴 “There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” he added

🔴 “If you do not have the will or the ability to fulfil your commitments, then there is no point in talking about continuing down this path,” he added
