This includes “dark fleet” vessels carrying Iranian oil. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine stated the U.S. “will actively pursue any Iranian-flagged vessel or any vessel attempting to provide material support to Iran.”

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei: ‘None of what the Americans have said (regarding the uranium) is acceptable. Iran’s enriched uranium will not be transferred to any place under any circumstance. Just like Iran’s soil is considered sacred to us, this matter is also sacred to us.’ Reporter: ‘So you completely deny this possibility?’ ‘This possibility has never been raised by Iran, not even once.’

President of Lebanon, General Joseph Aoun, in a speech to the Lebanese people: * We endured a great deal, including accusations, insults, and misinformation, but we did not back down and it became clear we were right. * I thank everyone who contributed to achieving the ceasefire, starting with Donald Trump and all Arab partners, especially Saudi Arabia. * We are entering a new phase: moving from a ceasefire to permanent agreements that protect our rights, sovereignty, and territorial unity. * We are confident we will save Lebanon, even as we expect continued attacks against us. * For the first time in nearly half a century, we have reclaimed Lebanon’s decision-making and are negotiating on our own terms. * We are no longer a tool or battleground for others and will not return to that reality. * Negotiations are not weakness or concessions, but a decision rooted in strength, responsibility, and prioritizing Lebanon above all else. * Negotiations will not compromise our rights, principles, or sovereignty. * We have lost thousands of Lebanese, and we will not allow more Lebanese to die for the interests or power struggles of others. * My mission is clear: to save Lebanon and its people, and I am committed to this with full conviction. * This suffering will not be our permanent fate, and no agreement will undermine our national rights, dignity, or territory.

Amid the flood of news and pervasive disinformation, one critical reality is being overlooked by all sides: THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. It appears that a deal is being shaped that would leave the IRGC in power - perhaps weakened, but also resentful and embittered. That outcome will inevitably shape how the regime treats its own people. Any agreement that fails to address the human rights of the brave Iranian people is a betrayal - of the people themselves and of the promise that help is on the way. Amir T |
