"Iran's security is non-negotiable.

American pirates should know that complex, multifaceted, and asymmetrical operations deep within the battlefield will change the equations.

The equations will change in a way that will make the cost of the decision for the Americans exceed their limits of endurance.

This is not a warning, but rather part of a reality that will come to pass."

Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance (3):

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

“Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, God is fully capable of granting them victory.”
God Almighty has spoken the truth.

▪️ Following the continued failures of the United States in dealing with the Strait of Hormuz issue, Donald Trump announced the halt of the so-called "Freedom Project" plan, which was supposedly launched to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump, who tried to somehow cover up the failure of his plan, wrote by putting together his usual false claims:

🔹 Based on the request of Pakistan and other countries, and considering the significant military success we achieved during operations against Iran, as well as the very good progress made towards a complete and final agreement with Iranian representatives, we have reached a mutual agreement that: the blockade will remain fully in effect for now, but the Freedom Project (the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be temporarily halted to see if an agreement can be finalized and signed.
