⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷US Secretary of War — "The Freedom Project protects commercial vessels from Iranian aggression. Iran harasses ships, fires on them, and seeks to impose tariffs. Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz."

📄 US forces established control via helicopters and ships to secure safe passage; "We use force to help others... not seeking a fight, but cannot allow Iran to block innocent countries from an international waterway. The Freedom Project is temporary, and the world should intervene".

❗️ "Iran harasses civilian ships, threatens sailors, exploits this vital chokepoint for private financial gains. International waters belong to all nations, not just Iran collecting tolls. Maritime trade will continue flowing."

⚡️🇮🇷Ayatollah Sheikh Abbas al-Kaabi — The Islamic Republic rests on protection, popular support, and internal unity; enemies' cultural invasions, soft warfare, economic sanctions all failed.

🖋 In the 12-day war, foes planned to topple Iran in 3-4 days yet collapsed, followed by failed riot schemes for internal unrest. "On the first day, Netanyahu and Trump claimed it would last 3-4 days before overthrowing the Islamic Republic," he noted.

⚡️🇮🇷Fars News — Iran warns international marine insurers that only designated shipping routes through Strait of Hormuz are permitted, absolving Tehran of security responsibility for unauthorized passages: "Iran is not responsible for securing traffic in other routes. Responsibility for the security of ships that have not received passage approval from Iran will be removed from the moment the ship's engine is started towards the Strait of Hormuz."

❗️ Passage requires prior Iranian approval; any disruptions or environmental incidents will prompt Tehran to seek compensation from ship and cargo owners — Fars News via sources.

⚡️🇮🇱12 news / Israeli media — Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich sparked major controversy in the Israeli public opinion politics during a Tuesday 103FM radio interview, declaring the coalition with Ra'am leader Mansour Abbas more severe than the October 7 massacre and its 2,100 deaths: "Certainly the formation with Mansour Abbas—a tactical failure vs. intentional betrayal, knowingly selling Israel to enemies for power. A politician lying and sabotaging Zionism/democracy is 1,000x worse than any omission."

👥 Immediate Reactions:

- Mansour Abbas (N12): Accused Smotrich of disrespecting victims' families, calling it "immoral" and stating even a flawed change government surpasses Smotrich's "disastrous October 7 administration" where "human life holds no value, like fanatical extremists."

- Yair Golan (Democrats): Right-wing fears Jewish-Arab partnership essential for democratic electoral success and Israel's future. "Smotrich, who blocked his wife sharing a delivery room with an Arab, incites endlessly—unite change camp to oust racist government; strong Democrats ensures next coalition."

- Bereaved Families: Lihi Miran (hostage wife): "Nothing worse—recall Nahal Oz bloodied sofa during your visit."
Eyal Eshel (fallen daughter's father): "Explain 'tactical blunder' at her Kfar Saba grave; your statements kill souls post-Israel's worst massacre."

- October Council: Smotrich (past "Hamas asset" proponent) fuels global October 7 deniers by labeling post-Holocaust worst Jewish massacre mere "tactical incident." "Visit 2,200 graves your government owns—ministers denigrate victims evading inquiry; truth disinfects."

💬 Smotrich's Follow-up Clarification: Rejected victim politicization, framing as political acts comparison: deliberate Hamas coalition (lying/stealing votes) as Israeli politics' gravest vs. horrific Hamas massacre (unmatched since Holocaust) — Israeli media.
