U.S. President Donald J. Trump said on his Truth Social app that if any Iranian fast-attack vessels approach the now in effect U.S. blockade they will be “immediately eliminated” in the same manner that vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations in the Southern Command area of responsibility are.

British PM Keir Starmer:

"While the ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran is undeniably welcome, it is also highly fragile. We call for Lebanon to be included urgently in the ceasefire. Diplomacy is the right path, and I welcome the talks taking place this week. Hezbollah must disarm. But I'm equally clear: Israel's strikes are wrong. They are having devastating humanitarian consequences and pushing Lebanon into a crisis. The bombing should stop now."

Iran's Mi-28 deal with Russia was announced in November 2023. A Tasnim defense reporter indicated the first delivery arrived in January 2026.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer:

"We hope the process will continue without further escalation. And that applies to the running sore that is the Strait of Hormuz, shamefully exploited by Iran."

"All of the leaders that I met were crystal clear that freedom of navigation is vital and must be restored, no conditions, no tolls and no tolerance of Iran holding the world's economy to ransom."

"The impact of Iran's behavior in the Strait is causing untold economic damage."

Q: "Can I ask the prime minister…that no British military assets or brave personnel would be put at risk in a foolish idea to blockade the strait?"

Russia has begun to lose its momentum in military recruitment. This is already evident even from their own statistics. According to German researcher Janis Kluge, who tracks these figures, recruitment rates in 2026 have dropped by approximately 20% compared to 2025. While Russia was recruiting 1,000-1,200 contract soldiers per day in the first quarter of 2025, that number fell to just 800-1,000 per day by early 2026. This is happening despite the fact that Russians continue to increase sign-on bonuses and contract payments. Russia's current war system is built on commercial recruitment, but this model is beginning to stall.
