🇮🇷 The Iranian Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz open. The IRGC publicly called his tweet "bad and incomplete." This is not a good cop bad cop routine but a clear power struggle happening in public, in real time, over the most valuable waterway on earth. Here's exactly what happened in the last 72 hours. Araghchi posted on X that the Strait was completely open for commercial vessels for the remainder of the ceasefire. Markets surged, oil dropped, Trump thanked Tehran. It looked like the biggest diplomatic breakthrough of the war. Then Tasnim News, the outlet directly linked to the IRGC, posted a series of attacks on Iran's own foreign minister. The headline: "Bad and Incomplete Tweet by Araghchi and Incorrect Ambiguity-Creation Regarding the Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz." The IRGC's argument was specific and deliberate. Araghchi published his declaration without explaining the conditions, the coordinated route requirements, or the military oversight mechanisms. More importantly, Tasnim warned that passage is "null and void in the event of the continuation of the claimed naval blockade." The US blockade is still in place. Therefore, per the IRGC, the Strait is not actually open. Then came the line that reveals the real message. Tasnim wrote: "The tweets that officials publish, even if they write them in English, are not seen only by foreign officials. The great nation of Iran is fully monitoring the scene in accordance with its revolutionary duty." That is the IRGC telling the Foreign Ministry that its communications are being watched for ideological compliance. What this means for the negotiations is significant. Araghchi was the man in the room in Islamabad for 21 hours. He is the one conducting the diplomatic track with Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey acting as mediators. He is the face of whatever deal might be possible before April 21. And the IRGC publicly undermined his credibility and his authority to make commitments on open radio and state-linked media simultaneously. The structural problem has always been this. Any deal Araghchi signs has to survive contact with an IRGC that answers to the Supreme Leader's office, not the Foreign Ministry. In the past Iran managed this division quietly. What's different now is they're airing it publicly Source: Jerusalem Post

The Last Grave at Dimbaza (1973) is a seminal documentary that provided one of the first unflinching looks at the harsh realities of apartheid in South Africa for international audiences. Shot clandestinely with hidden cameras by South African exiles and British filmmakers, the footage was smuggled out of the country to bypass strict censorship laws.
