💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

Control the strait. Continue the blockade. Put Kharg island in the crosshairs.

Over time, we have all the cards.

After Iran’s brazen IRGC-led attack on international shipping and declaration that they’re now in control of the Strait, it is imperative America and the world answer this provocation. The U.S. and others must demonstrate the ability to control the Strait without Iranian interference. I urge President Trump to continue the blockade, which has been brilliantly executed and applies maximum pressure.

It’s abundantly clear that after 47 years, promises coming from the Iranian regime are worthless.

Steady as she goes. Stay resolved.

💨 🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel keeps destroying Lebanon even during the ceasefire.

😭 🇮🇷 Iran says ships that pay new security and safety fees will be given priority to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, while others may face delays.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸 A senior U.S. official told Axios that without a breakthrough soon, the war could resume within days.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

The Strait of Hormuz is under the control of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We responded decisively to the U.S. attempt at mine-clearing and considered it a violation of the ceasefire. The situation escalated close to confrontation, but the enemy backed down.

If traffic is currently taking place in the Strait, it is because control of the Strait is in our hands.

The Americans have announced a blockade in recent days—this is a reckless and ignorant decision. It is impossible for others to pass through the Strait while we cannot.

If the U.S. does not lift the blockade, movement through the Strait of Hormuz will definitely be restricted.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

We are definitely a head and shoulders above the past in offensive capabilities and design in the third imposed war, and we saw this on the battlefield.

In the technical field, we hit about 180 drones, a capability we did not have in the defensive domain during the previous war. All of these events happened in just a few months.

Hitting the F-35 is not a coincidence; it is an operation in various technical and design dimensions. With the missile that exploded near that aircraft (F-35), the enemy understood what capabilities we have and in which direction we are moving.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

We are not militarily stronger than America. It is clear that they have more money, equipment, and resources, and because they have carried out so many aggressions around the world, they also have more experience than us. The Zionist regime, which is America’s servant and agent in the region, also possesses high power.

We fought in an asymmetric war in such a way that, with our own design and preparedness, we pushed the enemy back. The enemy had money and resources but did not act correctly in design. They make mistakes in strategic decisions. They are wrong about our people, just as they are wrong in their military design.

The U.S. government claims that “America First” is important to it, but in practice it has shown that Israel is first for it, because it makes decisions based on false information from Israel.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

The enemy failed in the various plans it had—destroying the air force and missile capabilities, destroying the navy, launching a ground attack, and opening the Strait of Hormuz. In all of these, they were unsuccessful.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

We have not destroyed the enemy; they still possess money and weapons, but strategically they have been defeated in comparison to us.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Despite heavy strikes, Iran still retains substantial military capability—about 40% of its attack drones, roughly 60% of its missile launchers, and potentially up to 70% of its missile stockpile.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

We are fully prepared—if they make even the slightest mistake, we will respond with force.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

The enemy sought regime change and to “Venezuelanize” Iran in order to auction off our oil, but it failed.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran’s Ghalibaf:

I am ready for martyrdom.

We are ready both to shed blood and to endure deep hardship.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Whether people like Israel or not, they have proven to be a GREAT Ally of the United States of America.

They are Courageous, Bold, Loyal, and Smart and, unlike others that have shown their true colors in a moment of conflict and stress, Israel fights hard, and knows how to WIN!

#️⃣ 🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN DOES NOT PLAN TO SEND ENRICHED URANIUM TO THE USA, "THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNDER DISCUSSION," THE COUNTRY’S FOREIGN MINISTRY REPORTS

💬 🇮🇷 IRGC Aerospace Commander Maj. Gen. Seyed Majid Mousavi:

During the pause in hostilities, our speed in upgrading and refilling missile and drone launch platforms is even higher than before the war.

We have information that the enemy is unable to create such conditions for itself and is forced to bring in munitions drip by drip from the other side of the world.
