🇯🇵 Japan Times:

— Trump’s shift in stance toward Iran has revealed the limits of his power.

— Iran holds key leverage, such as control over energy routes and the ability to sustain resistance. This has reduced Washington’s bargaining power.

🇮🇷 The number of volunteers who registered on the site janfadaa.ir — has reached 20 million

20 million people ready to give their lives to defend Iran.

🇮🇷 The Iranian negotiating delegation led by Galibaf, the Speaker of Parliament, has arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan, for talks with the American side, — Tasnim

— If the opposing side accepts Iran's preliminary conditions for the start of negotiations, these negotiations will begin.

— Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Secretary of the Defense Council Ali Akbar Ahmedian, Chairman of the Central Bank Abdolnasser Hemmati, as well as some members of parliament are accompanying Galibaf on this trip.

— It is also reported that Jay D Vons, the deputy head of the US terrorist government, along with Vitkoft and Kushner, as well as CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper are present in Islamabad, Pakistan.

— Iran accepted a two-week ceasefire from the US, but stressed that if an agreement that satisfies Iran and the axis of resistance is not reached and the conflict resumes, the interests of the US in the region, as well as the Zionist regime, will again be subject to fire.

It's April 2026 and Zelensky still thinks Pokrovsk holds. Pokrovsk fell nearly 5 months ago.

Also, we're seeing another example of the propaganda tactic of creating fake deadlines for Russia that Russia never made any mention of, and then when Russia obviously doesn't reach these deadlines, claiming their entire offensive failed again.

Russia does not intend to take Druzhkivka or Kostyantynivka by the end of April.

🇺🇸⚡️🇮🇷 U.S. Navy MQ-4C Triton Disappears Over Strait of Hormuz After Emergency

On April 9, a U.S. Navy MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance drone on patrol in the Strait of Hormuz turned towards Iran, emitted an automated “code 7700” alert -- a general signal used for any aircraft in distress -- and fell rapidly from 52,000 feet. When it dropped below 10,000 feet, the signal from its transponder was lost.

There has not yet been official confirmation whether the drone crashed, was shot down by an Iranian missile, or whether it somehow recovered and made it back to base.

The fear of China stepping in this war is real.

While i don't trust most western news, i hope China is sending a big amount of airdefence to Iran.

Reason is simple, no emotions, iran & china relations, its business, the can't afford to lose Iran. Without Iran the silk road will get a big hit. And survival, the will get a enemy in there backyard if Iran lose & its energy security. The already lost Venezuela!!

IRAN’S SENT A HUGE, HIGH-LEVEL DELEGATION TO ISLAMABAD

Qalibaf, Araqchi, military, economic, and legal heads, around 80+ people.

They were received by Pakistan’s army chief, and talks will likely stretch over multiple days with different committees.

They’ll meet Pakistani leaders first, then possibly U.S. officials if conditions are met, and they’re even carrying demands linked to Hezbollah.

Also, only one of the three planes had officials, the others were decoys.

Note: Iran start to take there security serious.

🔴Yediot Ahronot in Hebrew: What miracle is Netanyahu talking about? The Iranian regime and Hezbollah are still fighting

- After about 5 weeks of the war against Iran and Hezbollah, it can be said with great caution, contrary to what Netanyahu's supporters are promoting, that "no miracle has happened to us".

- Hezbollah has proven, first and foremost, its ability to survive. Despite the severe strikes, it still has a sufficient missile arsenal, even outside the Litani River.

- The desired goal for which we gathered, namely the overthrow of the regime or the surrender of enriched uranium, is still far from being achieved at this stage.

- Netanyahu is desperately trying to create a sense of euphoria, as if a miracle has happened. This is not true, and it's regrettable that Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz are not informing the Israeli people of the truth.
