An informed source, in an interview with Fars reporter following up on the negotiation axes, stated: Tehran considers the option of negotiating with Washington off the table until a complete ceasefire is established in Lebanon, and it has strongly asserted this position.

According to this informed source, one of the operational options on the table is keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed. He added: "According to statistics and field monitoring since this morning, it is clear that this strategic maritime route remains closed, and this situation will continue until a full ceasefire with Lebanon is achieved."

It is worth mentioning that following Iran's decisive positions, clear signs of Netanyahu's retreat are becoming evident.
Vitkoff's remarks this afternoon recommending Netanyahu to accept the field realities, as well as Netanyahu's recent statements which, though veiled threats, clearly indicate compliance with the Lebanon ceasefire, are signs of a shift in the American-Zionist stance.

The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect.

I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.

I never been friends with Epstein.

Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach.

To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell.

My email reply to Maxwell cannot be characterized as anything more than casual correspondence.

My polite reply to her email doesn't amount to anything more than a tribal note.

I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump.

I met my husband by chance at a New York City party in 1998.
