Zelenskyy announced a Ukrainian deep strike on a Russian oil facility in Yaroslavl.

Israeli assessments: "It is estimated that the exchange of blows between Iran and the US has ended - and both sides have ceased their attacks" -IDF Military radio t.me/moriahdoron/30…

Making the same mistake again and again won’t get you a different answer; only a stronger one. Respect the new Maritime Regime of Iran. #PersianGulf

BREAKING: Exchange of fire between Iran and the US in the Strait of Hormuz, according to an Israeli source -Israel Hayom

I spoke to several Western embassies including most from the G7 today who all told me their diplomats are staying put in Kyiv and have no plans as of today to leave amid Russia's threat of attacking the center of Ukraine's capital. Several also confirmed they received official written warnings from Russia.

Not implausible. The Saudis sounded more hawkish in the early weeks of the war, but their position since the ceasefire has been that they don't want the fighting to resume (and most other Gulf countries are in a similar place now as well)

Senior US officials to WSJ Editorial Board on Iran deal demands: • 20-year enrichment ban • Hand over all enriched material • Attestation it doesn’t seek nuclear weapon • Dismantle Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan • Ban on underground nuclear work • On-demand inspections/penalties for violations

‼️ What the US & Iran are negotiating on as per @WSJ Editorial Board : The U.S. says it needs Iran’s attestation that it doesn’t seek nuclear weapons; the dismantlement of the Fordow, Natanz & Isfahan facilities; a ban on underground nuclear work; and on-demand inspections with penalties for violations, a 20-year moratorium on Iranian nuclear enrichment & demands the handover of all enriched nuclear material. Iran would have to reopen Hormuz—gradually, as the U.S. relaxes its blockade, and then fully with the final deal. Most U.S. sanctions relief would be tied to Iran’s performance of the deal, not merely its signing, though some assets could be unfrozen to begin.
