#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM denies Iran’s claim that it shot down an F/A-18 jet today.

#️⃣ 🇮🇱 Israel is preparing for the possibility that Trump could announce a ceasefire in Iran by next Saturday.

The chances of reaching a detailed and precise agreement between Iran and the United States are slim.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

There are no talks with the U.S.

The U.S. is sending messages through different mediators.

Exchange of messages via mediators does not mean negotiation with the U.S.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

We demand a permanent end to the war and compensation for destructions.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The fact that they are now talking about negotiations is an admission of defeat; didn’t they claim unconditional surrender before?

So why are they now mobilizing their top officials to negotiate?

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

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.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Iran has reinforced Kharg Island with troops, air defenses, and mines, preparing for a potential US ground operation.

US officials warn of high risks, including heavy casualties, due to layered defenses and recent deployments of Iranian MANPADs and anti-armor mines.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

This is neither Iran’s war nor America’s war; rather, Israel has pushed the U.S. toward it.

The U.S. prioritizes Israel’s security, and its bases in the region are meant to protect Tel Aviv; Washington is willing to sacrifice everything for Israel’s security.

Israel’s goal is to achieve the “Greater Israel project,” which includes territories of some countries in the region.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

At present, our policy is to continue resistance, and no negotiations have taken place.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 The U.S. and Israel have temporarily removed Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi from their target lists for up to four or five days.
