If Iran stops blocking traffic, tankers will be able to go via the same routes the Iranian ships have been using and expand the areas of safe travel over time as the mines are cleared...

@WarMonitor3 Yeah, they messed up big time and don’t have a clue how to fix it. The U.S. has caused serious problems globally, economically, environmentally, and in terms of security.

@WarMonitor3 Maybe they could send a suicide bomber so the rest of the world can get some peace?! Blow up putler in the same blast if possible.

@golub Maybe he made it. After the video ended he went up and ran to the Ukrainian stronghold and is still fighting?

@Osinttechnical Well whatever Iran agree on, we all know USA will not keep. The Swedish 700 year old saying "Never trust a russian" can be applied on america.

@4yourcountry @MykhailoRohoza Stupid talk like that is why we dont truat USA.

@MykhailoRohoza The Budapest memo contained no security guarantees, US has provide 67b in weapons to Ukraine, and Iran has provided 100k+ drones to Russia to attack Ukraine. Why does anyone give a shit what Iran thinks.

During talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Pakistan, the topic of Ukraine unexpectedly came up.
While discussing U.S. guarantees in the event that Iran halts uranium enrichment and abandons the development of nuclear weapons, the Iranian side asked how the United States is fulfilling the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which it pledged to respect and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
The U.S. delegation left the question unanswered.

Residents in Tuapse are worried about deteriorating living conditions after repeated drone strikes on oil infrastructure.
"I love to live by the sea with my kid. The sea’s absolutely chock-full of this fuel oil now. Everything’s ruined. What the f*ck are we even supposed to do here? These f*cking drones are flying around, blowing everything to smithereens.”

@NOELreports When is this East European shit going to end...?
What is so attractive about this bloodthirsty tiran to your east that you would vote for eurosceptic politicians (whilst happily take EU billions to develop your country)

Pro-Russian party associated with former president Rumen Radev has won Bulgaria’s snap parliamentary election with over 38 percent, according to exit polls. Radev has taken eurosceptic positions, called Crimea Russian, and opposed military support for Ukraine. #Bulgaria

@WarMonitor3 Big news when the mighty americans do it. Not so much when tiny Sweden do it.
English

@Osinttechnical Stupid americans should never have attacked Iran. Now the whole planet suffers for nothing. 🤡

@WarMonitor3 Trump's words are clear: Iran just tore up the ceasefire. Actions now or America loses credibility. No more red lines without consequences.

@_BeowulfAgate_ @TheStudyofWar Americans never seem to learn, just like the russian orcs, that bombing people isnt working. Acting like a lying clown like trump isnt working either. This is going to cost the US citizens a lot.

@TheStudyofWar Sucks to be them. Reloaded CAG’s. More available troops. Rested pilots. Time to start dropping bombs again until they get the point.

NEW: Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander Major General Ahmad Vahidi and members of his inner circle have likely secured at least temporary control over not only Iran’s military response in this conflict but also Iran’s negotiating position and approach within the past 48 hours. The IRGC Navy attacked several commercial vessels on April 18 and declared that no vessel of “any type or nationality” is permitted passage through the strait, a reversal of Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi’s announcement on April 17 that the strait was “completely open” to commercial traffic. IRGC-affiliated media also announced on April 18 that Iran has not agreed to participate in another round of negotiations with the United States due to “excessive” US demands.
Other Key Takeaways:
Vahidi and individuals close to him may have effectively controlled the negotiations process throughout the war, which is traditionally a role reserved for political leaders. Vahidi likely intended to impose IRGC oversight over the recent US-Iran talks in Islamabad. The IRGC continued to play an outsized role in Iran’s negotiations after the Islamabad talks.
The IRGC’s consolidation of control over Iranian decision-making indicates that the Iranian political officials currently negotiating with the United States do not have the authority to independently determine Iran’s negotiating positions. The IRGC appears to have sidelined more pragmatic figures with whom the United States has negotiated.
The IRGC attacked several commercial vessels and halted traffic in the Strait of Hormuz on April 18, likely in order to both gain leverage over the United States and consolidate the IRGC’s control over Iran’s negotiations policy as part of an internally-motivated maneuver. The IRGC likely aims to secure leverage over the United States by halting traffic and driving up shipping and oil prices to impose economic pressure on the United States. The IRGC’s actions are also likely intended to be an internal demonstration of power designed to exhibit the IRGC’s control within the regime, and in particular, its control over Iran’s negotiations policy.
The US Navy’s blockade of Iranian ports remains in place as of April 18. US CENTCOM said that it forced two ships to turn around and return to Iran between April 17 and 18. The US Navy has forced 23 ships to turn back since the United States began the blockade. No Iranian vessels have attempted to approach or test the blockade line as of this writing.

@CryptCoinPoodle @wartranslated Obviously the hungarian people have voted for the orc called orban for many elections, but finally when american administration backed orban they all understod that orban is shit.
English

@FriskChristian @wartranslated No we do not have fucking American leaders to thank for that. Not every shit is about Americans.

@FriskChristian @CodyRileyWilli1 @sentdefender Yeah we wouldn't be in this specific mess cuz Iran would already have had a nuke by now if we elected a Democrap.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump in a post earlier on TruthSocial: “I hope Hezbollah acts nicely and well during this important period of time. It will be an GREAT moment for them if they do. No more killing. Must finally have PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
