Following the blatant attack by American forces on an Iranian commercial vessel in the waters of the Sea of Oman, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran were fully prepared to deliver a decisive response to the violating forces.

However, due to the presence of families of some crew members on the aforementioned vessel, and in order to protect their lives and security—which were under constant threat—certain restrictions were imposed on the nature of the response.

Given the current circumstances, and after ensuring the safety of the families and crew of the vessel that was attacked by the Americans, the Iranian armed forces will take the necessary action against the American military.

I expect fighting with Iran to resume if no agreement is reached.

An agreement with Iran will be signed tonight.

Iran remains hesitant about heading to Islamabad, conditioning its move on the lifting of the blockade.

Pakistani mediators have informed Iran that the United States does not intend to lift the blockade before the agreement is signed. For Iran, this is unhelpful, but as has happened previously, a decision may be made at the last minute.

As for the maritime tension, it is a parallel track to the negotiations. It is worth noting that the Sea of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz are the only locations where direct friction occurs between Iran and the United States, making them the primary arena for exchanging intentional signals.

Consequently, following yesterday's American move, the Iranians threatened escalation but ultimately refrained from taking action—a decision that cannot be separated from their desire to avoid further complicating negotiations that are already complex.

Trump, by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire agreement, seeks to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender, or to justify reigniting the war.

We do not accept negotiating under the shadow of threats, and over the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield.

We will not accept a yellow line or any other line in southern Lebanon, and if the occupation insists on staying, it will be met with resistance.

Displaced people should wait before returning to their areas because we cannot trust Israeli treachery.

We are not against negotiations with "Israel," provided they are indirect.

The blockade, which we will not lift until an agreement is reached, is completely destroying Iran.

​Iran is losing $500 million a day, a figure that is unsustainable even in the short term.

​Most of Iran's former leaders have disappeared, and this constitutes regime change.

​We have destroyed the Iranian Navy, and the enemy possesses no anti-missile or anti-aircraft equipment.

Trump may attend in person or online if an agreement is reached.

Things are going well and the talks are proceeding according to the set timetable.

There is momentum for a second round of US-Iranian talks to begin tomorrow.
