Our dear friend, Arya, has been suspended on X for no reason.

Tag @Support on X and demand for him to be reinstated.

This is the least we can do for someone who provided valuable information over the years.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump, in another Truth Social post:

‘Iran promised to open the Strait of Hormuz, and they knowingly failed to do so. This caused anxiety, dislocation, and pain to many people and Countries throughout the World. They say they put mines in the water, even though all of their Navy, and most of their "mine droppers," have been completely blown up. They may have done so, but what ship owner would want to take the chance?

There is great dishonor and permanent harm to the reputation of Iran, and what's left of their "Leaders," but we are beyond all of that. As they promised, they better begin the process of getting this INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY OPEN AND FAST! Every Law in the book is being violated by them.

I have been fully debriefed by Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, on the meeting that took place in Islamabad through the kind and very competent leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan. They are very extraordinary men, and continuously thank me for saving 30 to 50 million lives in what would have been a horrendous War with India. I always appreciate hearing that — The amount of Humanity spoken of is incomprehensible.

The meeting with Iran began early in the morning, and lasted throughout the night - Close to 20 hours. I could go into great detail, and talk about much that has been gotten but, there is only one thing that matters - IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS!

In many ways, the points that were agreed to are better than us continuing our Military Operations to conclusion, but all of those points don't matter compared to allowing Nuclear Power to be in the hands of such volatile, difficult, unpredictable people. My three Representatives, as all of this time went by, became, not surprisingly, very friendly and respectful of Iran's Representatives, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Aragchi, and Ali Bagheri, but that doesn't matter because they were very unyielding as to the single most important issue and, as I have always said, right from the beginning, and many years ago, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’

@Middle_East_Spectator

I can’t believe Trump decided to give up ‘Power Plant and Bridge Day’ for a much more boring ‘Naval Blockade’.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— Is Trump aware that, in order to enforce a naval blockade, he needs an actual fleet in the Persian Gulf, which means putting American sailors as sitting ducks in Iran’s backyard?

‘I predict that Iran comes back and gives us EVERYTHING WE WANT.

And I tell my people, I want everything. I don’t want 90%, I don’t want 95%, I want them to give us everything.’
