Holy cope…

Talks between the U.S. and Iranian delegations in Islamabad, Pakistan have begun.

The U.S. has agreed to a ceasefire in southern Lebanon and has unfrozen Iranian assets.

I’m just waiting for the catch

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei: ‘The U.S. destroyer, which attempted to cross the Strait of Hormuz without permission, has started moving in the opposite direction after a firm warning by the Iranian Armed Forces’

@Middle_East_Spectator

Interesting way of saying they were forced to turn around, but alright.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The U.S. warship passed the Strait of Hormuz from the East, entering the Persian Gulf, and then abruptly turned around following an Iranian warning, leaving the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea

It’s unclear if the U.S. warship took the normal route (red) or Iran’s newly designated route (yellow), because its transponder was off until it started the return journey.
