1)The U.S. military failed for the second time last night to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through military means. Washington is expected to continue this course of action until early June, while tensions steadily escalate throughout this period.
2)Iranians never bow to pressure and diplomacy is always the victim.

As for our readiness to defend our people:

Whatever the causes, the outcome is the same:
1)Iran’s president is speaking publicly for the first time after meeting with the country’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei:
“We spoke with him for nearly two and a half hours… his views and the way he interacted were truly sincere and humble.”
Normal maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will resume, provided that the war is permanently halted and the illegal blockade and sanctions against IRAN are lifted.
