The Iranian regime is looking for an exit ramp; they recognize that they are being crushed.

💬 🇺🇸 White House on Iran:

The President’s preference is always peace. There does not need to be any more death and destruction.

For some countries we consider friends, we have allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz; we permitted China, Russia, India, Iraq, and Pakistan to pass.

There is no reason to allow our enemy to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The enemy must learn a lesson so that they never dare attack again.
