#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Iran will end the war on its own terms once Tehran’s conditions are met:

Iran will not allow Trump to dictate the timeline for ending the war.
The first condition for ending the war is the cessation of attacks and killings.
Iranian broadcaster Press TV reports that officials reviewed the U.S. proposal and deemed it too excessive.
Iran demands concrete guarantees to prevent the war from recurring.
Iran is seeking international recognition of its authority over the Strait of Hormuz.

I think we're wrapping up Operation Epic Fury.

#️⃣ 🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel is accelerating strikes on Iran’s arms industry, fearing a U.S.-Iran peace plan could halt the war before key objectives are met.
