⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — Iran is advancing a maritime proposal to generate 40 billion dollars annually by charging for "security, safety and environmental protection services" in the Strait of Hormuz, using Turkey's gold franc model in the Dardanelles as a strategic template — The Wall Street Journal

➡️ Tehran is presenting the revenue-sharing initiative to Gulf neighbors, Egypt, and China to justify tracking military equipment, claiming the United States previously utilized the strategic bottleneck to transport weapon supplies for hostile strikes against Iranian territory.

➡️ The targeted Turkish taxation model collects 6.70 dollars per ton for lighthouses and sanitation, a mechanism historically used to restrict warships during conflicts, though unilateral Iranian duplication faces absolute legal barriers requiring consensus from all 176 member states of the International Maritime Organization.

➡️ Concurrently, Middle Eastern and European officials note that regional actors are evaluating the multi-nation Strait of Malacca Patrol Force model between Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore to potentially merge Gulf naval assets with Iranian forces for coordinated joint air and sea surveillance.

➡️ Addressing the Lebanese arena, Vance classified regional progress as very good through a developing friction-prevention mechanism, affirming that while Israel and every regional actor maintains an inherent right to self-defense, Washington wants "to ensure that everyone has that right."

⚡️🇫🇷🇮🇹 — Italian PM Giorgia Meloni states Italy avoided direct combat in the US-Israel war on Iran:

"Italy did not participate in the conflict with Iran — In fact, if we had participated in the conflict with Iran, it would be difficult to explain the repeated disappointment expressed by the American President.

We respected our commitments by making our bases available only for logistical and technical activities, not for combat operations. And when requests were made that went beyond that framework—and you know this because it has been widely reported—we did not grant authorization for the use of our facilities."

"Regarding Lebanon, France and Italy have a special responsibility because both contribute to UNIFIL. Together with Prime Minister Meloni, we want to launch a coalition to prepare a post-UNIFIL mechanism, naturally in cooperation with the European Union and the United Nations.

The objective is to strengthen Lebanon's sovereignty and prevent its territory from once again becoming the starting point of a new regional conflict. I believe our cooperation on this issue is excellent, and I hope it will open a new perspective before the end of UNIFIL's mandate."

⚡️🇮🇷⚛️ — Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi:

We have a memorandum of understanding stipulating that our agency will oversee the inspection of Iranian nuclear facilities.

We are ready to move forward with our artistic work in Iran.

The details of our work in Iran and the composition of the inspection coordination committee will be determined by the Iranian-American negotiations.

We hope that IAEA experts will soon be able to access Iranian nuclear sites.

Thinning Iran's highly enriched uranium is one of the proposed solutions for dealing with Iran's uranium stockpile.

We believe that Iranian nuclear materials have not been moved since our last inspection in 2025, but we need to confirm this.
