US may close at least one military base, possibly in Spain or Germany.

JD Vance on Lebanon:

I think the situation with Lebanon is a “reasonable misunderstanding.”

Neither we nor the Israelis said that Lebanon was going to be part of the ceasefire.

JD Vance:

Ghalibaf talked about an attack that had allegedly happened on Iran and how that was a violation of the ceasefire.

Ceasefires are always messy. An hour after the president announced the ceasefire, the Iranians launched a bunch of missiles. Then the Israelis responded, then some of the Gulf Arab states responded.

This is the nature of a ceasefire. No ceasefire ever goes without a little bit of choppiness.

JD Vance:

The first 10-point proposal was something that was submitted, and we frankly think it was probably written by ChatGPT.

It immediately went into the garbage and was rejected.

There was a second 10-point proposal that was much more reasonable.

It was based on some back-and-forth between us and the Pakistanis. That is the proposal the president was referencing, and it’s true as of yesterday.

And then, frankly, I’ve seen a third 10-point proposal that’s even more maximalist than the first one that’s been floating around various social media channels.

Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee:

We stand with all our might alongside the Hezbollah mujahideen, and we will punish the Zionist enemy.

The responsibility for the collapse of the ceasefire lies with America, which either does not want to or cannot leash its rabid dog.

Violations of the ceasefire by America will also not be tolerated.

FBI Director Kash Patel:

FBI and our partners have arrested a former SOCOM employee, who supported our top-level military warfighters, for allegedly transmitting classified information to a member of the media.

Oil companies are quietly pushing back against Trump’s Iran peace plan because it could allow Iran to charge tolls on ships using the Strait of Hormuz.

Executives warn that adding fees of around $2–2.5 million per shipment, along with higher insurance costs, would drive up global oil prices and could even expose companies to sanctions violations.

They’ve been raising these concerns with officials like Marco Rubio and JD Vance, though the administration appears open to considering Iran’s proposal.

Iran says shipping in the Strait of Hormuz stopped after Israel violated the ceasefire with strikes on Lebanon.

IRGC said vessel traffic halted minutes after the attacks, while the White House maintains Lebanon is not part of the US-Iran ceasefire.

Israel continues to destroy buildings in Lebanon.

Macron condemned Israel’s strikes in Lebanon, warning they “pose a direct threat” to the ceasefire.

He urged that “Lebanon must be fully covered” by the deal.

NATO's Rutte:

I really admire Trump's leadership.

Senator Graham on Iran:

It’s in their DNA to want to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Senator Graham on Iran:

If you control Kharg Island, you control the Iranian economy.

It is a good place to start if you have to go back to this.

Q: When Trump threatened to kill the entire Iranian civilization, did that bother you as a diplomat?

Mark Rutte: I'm not commenting on everything. What I want you to know is I support Trump...

A senior Vatican diplomat, Christophe Pierre, was reportedly summoned to the Pentagon and given a “bitter lecture” by Elbridge Colby, urging that Pope Leo “better take [the U.S.’s] side” and noting America can do “whatever it wants.”

Trump:

NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN.

REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!

Trump:

All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with.

If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the “Shootin’ Starts,” bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before.

It was agreed, a long time ago, and despite all of the fake rhetoric to the contrary - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and, the Strait of Hormuz WILL BE OPEN & SAFE.

In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!

Trump:

The Failing New York Times and Fake News CNN each reported a totally FAKE TEN POINT PLAN on the Iran negotiations which was meant to discredit the people involved in the peace process. All ten points were a made up HOAX - EVIL LOSERS!!!

Iran plans to charge oil tankers cryptocurrency fees to pass through the Strait of Hormuz during the two-week ceasefire, while inspecting ships for weapons.

Authorities say vessels must request permission, disclose cargo, and quickly pay about $1 per barrel in crypto. Ships that don’t comply risk being targeted.

Source: FT

The Strait of Hormuz may be included in the U.S.–Iran cease-fire, but in practice it’s still barely functioning.

No oil or gas tankers have passed through since the agreement, and only a handful of cargo ships have crossed.

Even where passage might be possible, most shipping companies remain cautious and are avoiding the route.

The U.S. is pushing its allies to move quickly on securing the Strait of Hormuz after the ceasefire, asking European countries to present concrete plans within days.
