— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: A boat of Iranian fishermen, off the coast of Bushehr, attempted to chase an American warship away from Iranian waters

The IRGC Navy has repeatedly warned civilian vessels not to engage with the U.S. Navy, stating that it is extremely dangerous, but the fishermen seem to be too annoyed at their presence.

The New York Times now 'claims' Iran has agreed to negotiate on missiles in Oman.

This is completely false, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the final straw for Iran.

The Americans can't stop leaking / playing media games, and this risks an immediate collapse of negotiations before they even begin.

In my estimation, talks will either collapse imminently, or one meeting will be held & it'll be both the first and last.

No way this is what they came up with, with a straight face.

May as well just have bombed us.

Iran concedes:

> Zero enrichment
> Zero uranium stockpile
> Zero weapon transfers to your allies

U.S. concedes:

> MAYBE, if we're in a GOOD MOOD, we won't ATTACK you, and as a little bonus we may TEMPORARILY relieve SOME sanctions

I'm sorry but Egypt, Turkey and Qatar must be retarded for thinking this would work.

'We will not negotiate on our ballistic missile program; that is a red line. The enrichment of uranium is also a red line.

If America approaches these negotiations the same way as before, they will fail.'

The seizing of two illegal oil tankers is completely routine and part of the IRGC's anti-smuggling operations.

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: For the first time, the IRGC has started to mass produce the solid fuel variant of the ultra-heavy 'Khorramshahr-4' IRBM

The missile carries a warhead of 1,500 kg, and its explosion can wipe out entire appartment blocks.

The Khorramshahr-4 is not new, it was developed several years ago—but now for the first time Iran possesses a solid fuel version of this missile, which allows it to be launched quickly and in higher numbers from bases.

One of the lessons drawn from the 12-Day War is that Israel suffers most from casualties, not material losses. The psychological impact of the Khorramshahr-4, with its large warhead, would be an asset in case of any new war with the Zionists.
