🛳️🇮🇷 FT: Iran plans to charge oil tankers cryptocurrency fees to pass through the Strait of Hormuz during the two-week ceasefire, while inspecting ships for weapons.

Authorities say vessels must request permission, disclose cargo, and quickly pay about $1 per barrel in crypto. Ships that don’t comply risk being targeted.

NATO Secretary General Rutte said after meeting with Trump that the US president is “frankly disappointed” that some US allies have refused to join the military effort against Iran.

“I understand his point of view. But at the same time, I was also able to point out that the vast majority of European countries have provided assistance in terms of troop deployment, logistics, flights, and ensuring the fulfillment of their obligations,” he said.

Trump reiterated after the meeting that NATO countries did not help the US when Washington needed them.

He also called for remembering Greenland — “a big piece of ice that is poorly managed.”

Ukrainian air defenses shot down or suppressed 99 of 119 Russian drones overnight, including about 70 Shaheds, while 16 UAVs struck 11 locations.

Toddler at it again. Trump questions NATO’s reliability, saying the alliance “wasn’t there when we needed them,” while also referencing Greenland in his remarks.

An overnight strike hit the Krymskaya oil pipeline facility in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, triggering a fire at an electrical substation on the site. The facility is part of the oil transport infrastructure supporting regional logistics.

❗️President Zelensky stated his readiness to meet with Putin in a neutral location outside of Moscow or Kyiv, suggesting the Middle East, Europe, or the United States as possible venues.

دونالد ترامپ، رئیس جمهوری آمریکا، روز پنج‌شنبه در شبکه اجتماعی تروث سوشال نوشت:
«تمامی کشتی‌ها، هواپیماها و نیروهای نظامی ایالات متحده، به همراه مهمات و جنگ‌افزارهای اضافی و هر آنچه برای سرکوب مرگبار و نابودیِ دشمنی که از قبل به شدت تضعیف شده، مناسب و ضروری است، در ایران و اطراف آن باقی خواهند ماند تا زمانی که به توافق واقعیِ به‌دست‌آمده به‌طور کامل عمل شود. اگر به هر دلیلی چنین نشود، که بسیار بعید است، آنگاه «شلیک‌ها آغاز می‌شود»؛ بزرگ‌تر، برتر و قدرتمندتر از هر آنچه تا به حال کسی دیده است.»

او در پیام خود افزود: «مدت‌ها پیش توافق شد و برخلاف تمام لفاظی‌های دروغینِ مخالف، [تأکید شد که]: سلاح هسته‌ای در کار نخواهد بود و تنگهٔ هرمز باز و امن خواهد ماند. در این میان، ارتش بزرگ ما در حال تجهیز و استراحت است و در واقع، چشم‌به‌راه پیروزی‌های بعدی خود است. آمریکا بازگشته است!»

🇺🇦 I am ready to meet with Putin. Of course, not in Moscow or Kyiv. We can find such a place in the Middle East, in Europe, in the US, anywhere, — Zelensky for RAI

▪️Currently, the trilateral talks with Russia have been postponed due to the US concentration in the Middle East.
▪️The US ignored evidence of cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, they trust Putin.
▪️Trump team clearly does not fully understand Putin's intentions.
▪️I am one of the few in the world who tells Trump what he thinks. Few people can tell the US president that he is wrong. I think we have good relations.
