— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, on live TV:

– Signing an agreement is needed to consolidate the victory that Iran has created on the ground.

– We’ve reached a final draft for a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding which is now in the final stages of being reviewed.

– I prefer not to disclose the details of the MoU until it has been finalized.

– What I can say is that Lebanon will be part of the agreement.

– There is never a deal in which one side takes 100% and the other side makes all the concessions (i.e. Iran has also made some concessions)

– There is a good chance the MoU is signed, but until then, things can still go up or down, items can be added or removed, and it’s not final.

‘As part of the MoU and the ceasefire in Lebanon, Israel will withdraw from all its occupied territories.

If these and other obligations are not met, negotiations on a final settlement will not take place.’

‘The future of the Strait of Hormuz and its management will not be like before.

Iran and Oman will probably soon issue a joint statement regarding the administration of the Strait of Hormuz.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘According to international law, imposing tolls in the Strait of Hormuz is not allowed.

But a type of payment or service fees will be required to pass the Strait of Hormuz. This matter is confirmed.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi: ‘Iran’s frozen funds will be released if the Memorandum of Understanding is signed.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘Within the Supreme National Security Council, there are both supporters and opponents of the MoU text. Eventually, a joint decision will be communicated.’

🇮🇷| Iran’s FM: The US insisted on zero enrichment. We opposed it, and in the end, war broke out.

@FotrosResistancee

Ok so what are you trying to say? That Iran should have just agreed?

This is clear signalling that Iran will likely agree to an enrichment suspension (if it was up to Araqchi)

Luckily Araqchi is not the one that makes the final decisions.

Whatever the Leader decides will be the outcome and it’s obligated for everyone to defend that decision.

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: The sound of an explosion was heard near Sirik

Likely related to management of the Strait of Hormuz (warning shots to violating vessels).

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 NEW: Mehr News confirms the IRGC Navy fired upon vessels that attempted to exit the Strait of Hormuz without Iran’s permission

— 🇱🇧/🇸🇾/🇮🇱 NEW: In a meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa urged Lebanon not to negotiate with Israel

He warned Salam of ‘repeating the same mistake as Syria’, which involved granting concessions without receiving guarantees and reciprocal compensation.

Al-Sharaa stated that Israel’s strategy is pushing you toward granting gradual concessions without providing any guarantees, while simultaneously keeping open margins that allow it to expand the scope of its future aggressions.

Astronomically rare Jolani W

Routine at this point.

This world cup is shit, everyone in a normal timezone has to wait hours just to watch one single match at like 11 PM, the rest are all at 4-5 AM and nobody is gonna stay awake for Paraguay vs USA.

Qatar was peak. South Africa and Brazil were peak. Real football heritage.

Whoever decided to hold the World Cup in America, a country that has zero footballing culture, is a giant retard.
