    Images shared on social media depict the preparation of Ali Khani Square in Isfahan for the execution ceremony to be held in public.

    Videos show the installed iron scaffolding, and given the presence of security forces around the area, concerns about the public execution of several protesters from the December protests have increased.

    Some families of those sentenced to death in the case known as "Ali Khani Square" have been informed to visit Isfahan Central Prison for a final meeting. This case involves 12 defendants sentenced to death.

    A source close to the family of Amir Hossein Safari, one of the defendants in this case, stated that his family has been summoned for a final visit to the prison.

    Abolfazl Sepahi and Alireza Sepahi, two other detainees from the December protests who have been sentenced to death, are also at risk of imminent execution.

    Gol Mohammad Mohammadi and Erfan Esfandiari were executed last week in connection with this case.
    The Ali Khani Square case is related to the protests that occurred on January 7 in this city.
    Officials of the Islamic Republic claim that four Basij and special forces were killed during the clashes in this area.

    Parts of Trump's speech in Michigan:

    • They have been negotiating for 47 years — which is actually close to 50 years, because for at least three years everyone has been saying 47 years — and all they do is keep everyone waiting.

    • We also cannot allow what was happening in Iran and is still happening to continue. They killed 52,000 protesters in a four-month period; imagine that, 52,000 people in Iran.

    Machine translation:
    Trump: ... Venezuela... After we won in about 48 minutes, they said, "Oh, that was a good move." Well, the same thing is happening in Iran right now.

    People still don’t understand. We have destroyed their navy. We have destroyed their air force. We have destroyed their leadership. We have destroyed their anti-aircraft weapons.

    Their drones are now being produced at about seven percent of their previous capacity. We have destroyed a large part of their drone production capability and missile production capability.

    Now they are talking to us about reaching an agreement; but if we hadn’t done this, there would be no negotiations.

    They have been negotiating for 47 years — which is actually close to 50 years, because for at least three years everyone has been saying 47 years — and all they do is keep everyone waiting.

    They were the bullies of the Middle East and our bullies. Obama gave them $1.7 billion in cash. Remember? They put the money inside a Boeing 757 and sent it to Tehran; $1.7 billion in cash.

    He thought he could bribe them; but instead, they said to themselves, "How stupid is this country?"

    No, you cannot bribe them. You have to defeat them, and we are defeating them badly. But we will see what the outcome will be.

    Now very friendly negotiations are underway.

    How well has our navy performed in enforcing the blockade? Not a single boat [has been able to pass]. They say, "We don’t want the blockade anymore. Please, please, don’t blockade us."

    Trump:
    Now the price of eggs is much lower than when we started. You will see how things will be once we eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat — which will happen very soon.

    But the price increases had nothing to do with me.

    One of the speakers accompanying Trump:

    It took 47 years for someone to stand up and say that madmen should not have nuclear weapons.

    It also took several decades to bring jobs back to the country.

    Trump:
    We could not allow what was happening in Venezuela to continue, and the action taken was very decisive.

    We also cannot allow what was happening in Iran and is still happening to continue. They killed 52,000 protesters in a four-month period; imagine that, 52,000 people in Iran.

    But the cost of the Venezuela operation, as they said, has been covered so far. Similarly, we are winning against the Islamic Republic of Iran by a large margin and ensuring that they never acquire nuclear weapons.

    When someone asks, "Why are we doing this?" the answer is that we cannot allow you to have nuclear weapons. That is the only thing we need to say.

    If you understood the power of nuclear weapons, you would fully grasp what I am saying.

    I say again: Iran will never have nuclear weapons.

    Trump's interview video with Persian subtitles at the bottom of this post

    Text of parts of the conversation, machine translation:
    🔺 Reporter: Regarding the war with Iran; have you been disappointed or angry with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for the advice he gave you early in the war and the outcome it has led to?

    🔻 Trump: No, I think he has done an outstanding job.
    We have nearly destroyed their army.
    They want to meet, and we are meeting with them. We will see what happens. There is a possibility that we can reach an agreement.
    Without what we did, they wouldn't even have been willing to talk to us. They requested a meeting both through intermediaries and directly, and we are negotiating with them. You know, good things might happen.

    I think oil prices have dropped significantly today. About an hour ago, the stock market was soaring. But no, they requested a meeting. If our performance had been weak, they wouldn't have requested a meeting.
    The only reason they want to meet is that we have dealt them very heavy blows.

    🔺 Reporter: How much longer will you wait against Iran?
    🔻 Trump:
    I have plenty of time; a lot of time.
    Their entire coastline has been destroyed. The Strait is in very good shape, and we are negotiating right now.
    You know, they wanted to talk. Their people said, "Please don't bomb. Don't shoot last night and the night before; don't do it for two nights."
    You know, we are having good discussions. So we will see what happens.
    I think there is a good chance that something will happen. If it does, great. If not, we will go back to doing what we were doing two days ago.

    🔺 Reporter: Mr. President, how have communications with the Houthis regarding the Red Sea been? Are you worried...
    🔻 Trump: Houthis? That was a problem we faced some time ago, and as you know, we really crushed them. After that, we had no problems with the Houthis. But right now, we are not involved in that issue.
    Of course, we might intervene. You know, if they become problematic, we will probably have to take action.

    🔺 Reporter: Regarding Saudi Arabia; have you received any indication from Saudi Arabia that they will join the Abraham Accords?
    🔻 Trump: We haven't talked about that yet.

    🔺 Reporter: In the event of an escalation of conflict, are you concerned about a depletion of ammunition stocks?
    🔻 Trump: We have plenty of stocks. We have various types of ammunition. You know, Biden gave a lot of it to Ukraine, and we are currently rebuilding those stocks; but we still have a lot.
    We have a lot of mid-range weapons; more than we could use in any situation. We have plenty. To be honest, I would like to have more, but Biden gave a huge amount to Ukraine.
    When I left, the warehouses were full.
    When I took office after Obama, he hadn't bought ammunition, and we had very little stock. I rebuilt those stocks. But as soon as I left, they gave a lot of it to Ukraine; numbers that no one had seen before.
    So now we are producing at a very rapid pace. Factories are being built, and a lot of equipment is being produced. Especially the production of Patriot systems is increasing.
    We have plenty of stocks. Each of our contractors is currently building four or five factories. We are in very good shape, but we would definitely like to have more of some advanced equipment. Biden gave away a lot of it.

    ...

    🔺 Another Reporter: Do you and Prime Minister Netanyahu agree on Iran?
    🔻 Trump: Almost. Yes, almost. We have a small disagreement, but overall we are pretty much in agreement.
    You know, Iran has taken very heavy hits in the last 14 days, and they very politely asked us: "Please stop. Let's negotiate."
    We are at that point now. We will see what happens. If we don't reach an agreement, we will go back to doing the same thing.

    🔺 Reporter: President Zelensky says Russia is providing satellite images of U.S. bases in the Gulf to Iran to help them target. What can you do about this?
    🔻 Trump: We will look into whether this is true or not. I will ask Putin about it. We will find out.
    If such a thing has been done, it hasn't had much impact because we have really crushed them. Don't you think so?
    Look, the Russians provided a lot of equipment to Venezuela. All of Venezuela's equipment was Russian. What was the result? Not very good.
    So they may have given equipment, but if they did, it hasn't been successful; because they no longer have an army, air force, navy, or anything else. So it hasn't had a good outcome.
    I don't think Russia has done that; at least not on a large scale. If they have, it has been very ineffective.

    ....

    🔺 Reporter: Regarding Iran's assets; you said that Iran's assets will be used to pay for damages to ships that have been targeted in the Strait. Will the United States directly pay shipping companies?
    🔻 Trump: No, no.
    We will use Iran's money to pay for the damages they have caused themselves.
    In other words, Iran's money, which is under our control, will be used to pay for the damages. Sounds good, right? Not bad, right?
    That's how it should be.

    🔻 Trump: Alright, is there another question?
    ....
    To be honest, we are treating many countries that cannot survive without us very kindly.
    Do you know which country cannot survive without us? Israel.
    Bibi is coming; he will tell you this himself. If I hadn't intervened and turned that nuclear facility, which was practically on the verge of producing nuclear weapons, into dust, Israel would have been destroyed months ago.
    Years ago, if I hadn't canceled that terrible Obama deal, Israel would have been destroyed.

    🔺 Reporter: Prime Minister Netanyahu disagrees with you about selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. Netanyahu opposes delivering F-35s to Turkey. Are you planning to tell him...
    🔻 Trump: No. Look, Turkey has been a very good ally for me. I think he [Erdogan] has done a very good job; he performed well in Syria too.
    He is my friend, and no one tells me what we should sell or not sell.
    Turkey has been an incredible ally for me. Of course, Turkey is not a staunch supporter of Israel. You know that, right? He is not a fan of Bibi either, but Turkey has been great for me.
    Also, Turkey is a very powerful country. It has a huge and very powerful army and has very good equipment.

    🔺 Reporter: Does Netanyahu want you to reach an agreement with Iran, or does he want you to continue the attacks?
    🔻 Trump: Bibi has been really great. I don't want to say which option he prefers. He has been a prime minister during wartime, and we have performed very well together.
    If you look at Iran today, its power is only eight percent of what it was four months ago; eight percent of what it was four months ago.
    We will see what the final outcome of this situation will be.

    Trump: If negotiations with Iran fail, I am ready for "severe military action"

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Monday to Axios that he has decided to halt U.S. attacks on Iran to give negotiations another chance; however, he emphasized that if diplomacy fails, he may order the resumption of extensive military operations.

    Why it matters:
    Current negotiations focus on reaching a new agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume discussions on a comprehensive nuclear deal.
    ▪️ The negotiations are primarily taking place between Iran and Oman; however, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, and Trump's envoys, Steve Biegun and Jared Kushner, are also actively involved.

    What he says:
    In this interview, Trump stated, "We are having very serious and deep negotiations with Iran. If these negotiations do not succeed, we will once again resort to very severe military actions."
    ▪️ When asked how long he is willing to give diplomacy a chance, he replied, "Not a lot of time. It either has to move quickly, or it won't move at all."

    Behind the scenes:
    Trump said he decided on Friday to stop the attacks because intermediary countries asked him to give negotiations another chance.
    ▪️ Trump noted, "Everyone dealing with Iran asked me: 'Don't attack.'" He emphasized that he believes Iran wants to reach an agreement.

    Between the lines:
    Trump explained why he agreed to the intermediaries' request, saying, "Nothing was gained and nothing was lost."
    ▪️ He pointed out that after the attacks were halted, oil prices fell and the stock market rose.

    What to watch for:
    Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday.
    ▪️ Trump said, "I want to talk to Bibi about the fact that if I were not president, Iran would have obtained nuclear weapons by now and Israel would have been destroyed."

    The Yemeni "Houthi" forces, affiliated with the Islamic Republic, announced that they targeted several crude oil transfer centers in Saudi Arabia using drones, along the route for transporting oil from the east of the country to the port of Yanbu.

    Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni armed forces, claimed on Monday, July 27, 1405 (Iranian calendar), that these attacks were in response to what he called "the violation of Yemen's airspace by Saudi drones."

    In response, the Saudi Ministry of Defense stated that the country's air defense intercepted and destroyed several attacking drones that, according to Riyadh, "were launched by armed groups supported by the Islamic Republic" and "had flown from Iraqi airspace."

    According to this ministry, these drones intended to attack oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia and the city of Riyadh.

    The Saudi Ministry of Defense emphasized that based on the "legitimate right to self-defense," it considers the response to these attacks a reserved right to be exercised at an appropriate time and place.

    The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned this attack. The ministry urged the Iraqi government to take all necessary measures "to prevent the use of its territory as a launch pad for attacks against Saudi Arabia," a request that seems to indirectly reference the role of the Islamic Republic in the attacks on Saudi Arabia.

    At the same time, news agencies close to the Revolutionary Guards, including Tasnim, claimed that the combined drone and missile attacks by the Houthis caused a fire at the Abqaiq oil facility, one of the most important oil processing centers in the world. Tasnim described this attack as "a devastating blow by Yemeni forces to the Saudi economy."

    However, Saudi officials have not yet confirmed the occurrence of a successful attack on the Abqaiq facility or a fire at this center.

    The post of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister in response to Abbas Araghchi's post

    Machine translation:
    Iran's threats are unfounded and baseless. The Tehran regime is a direct partner in Russia's aggression against Ukraine and fuels it by supplying weapons for Moscow's criminal war—weapons that have killed Ukrainians since 2022.

    Iran has no standing to portray itself as a victim, let alone justify its threats with ridiculous references to the UN Charter.

    With these statements, Iran is also trying to divert attention from Russia's terrorist actions against civilian shipping in the Black Sea; actions that threaten global food security. But it will not succeed.

    Russia's attacks on the freedom of navigation will be at the center of today's emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, and we expect a decisive response from the international community.

    The ministry stated that these drones were flown by Iran-backed militia groups in Iraq.

    The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the attack and reiterated the country's right to respond to the source of the "aggression" and to deter those responsible for it.

    He also claimed that during his time as Prime Minister, he saw information indicating that Qatar was financially supporting the Revolutionary Guard. This far-right politician, who is a key figure in the Israeli opposition, accused Qatar of seeking the "destruction" of Israel.

    He mentioned that despite this, there are many areas for cooperation between the two countries, ranging from ensuring security in the Strait of Hormuz and preventing the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons to investing in Britain's military capabilities and NATO.

    Wallace also stated that Europe will one day be grateful to Donald Trump, the President of the United States, for pulling the continent out of lethargy and forcing NATO allies to take responsibility for their own security.

    He emphasized that currently, there are no negotiations taking place between Tehran and Washington, and the news regarding Iran's request for talks is merely "fabrication" by the opposing parties.

    Iran's state television reported on Tuesday, August 5, that the Revolutionary Guard prevented six ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz with the intention of leaving the Persian Gulf early that day.

    The IRIB news agency wrote on its Telegram channel: "In the early hours of Tuesday, August 5, six violating vessels, by turning off their navigation and positioning systems... intended to pass through the illegal and unsafe route south of the Strait of Hormuz."

    This news refers to the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz near the shores of Oman, which has stated that it adheres to international laws for the use of waterways. In contrast, Iran insists that ships must navigate through the route designated by the Revolutionary Guard.

    The IRIB news agency also mentioned that one of these six ships "has encountered an incident," but so far no other sources have confirmed this news.

    On Sunday, the Tasnim news agency, close to the Revolutionary Guard, claimed that an oil tanker exploded in the Strait of Hormuz after colliding with a naval mine.

    The Emtedad website reported that the conviction of Pejman Jamshidi to endure 99 lashes for the charge of "illicit relationship" has been definitively confirmed after being reviewed by the Supreme Court.

    Elham Mohammadi, a reporter for Emtedad, quoted Melika Parsadoust, the complainant in this case, stating that the Ninth Branch of the Tehran Criminal Court issued this ruling, and after an appeal, the 29th Branch of the Supreme Court also upheld the ruling exactly.

    According to this report, the charge in the case was examined based on Article 637 of the Islamic Penal Code (punitive section). According to this article, the punishment for an illicit relationship is up to 99 lashes, and in cases where the act was carried out under coercion and violence, this punishment is only considered for the coercive individual. Emtedad reported that the Criminal Court and the Supreme Court have only sentenced Pejman Jamshidi to endure 99 lashes in this case.

    Melika Parsadoust, referring to the finalization of this ruling, stated that the issuance of the final verdict shows that the "false narratives" surrounding this case have no basis.

    She also emphasized that she will not allow what has happened to her to be redefined by other narratives and stated that she has described this incident as "sexual violence" from the beginning.

    Parsadoust further mentioned that although this ruling does not alleviate the harm inflicted on her, in a situation where, according to her, proving sexual violence in Iran is difficult, the court's acknowledgment that the relationship was "without consent and accompanied by coercion and violence" is significant for her and other women who have had similar experiences.

    In conclusion, she pointed out the legal shortcomings and difficulties in pursuing such cases, stating that despite her personal opposition to the implementation of corporal punishment, she will pursue the case to the end and expressed hope that this case will encourage other women who have faced sexual violence to break their silence.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, rejected reports about a reduction in the country's ammunition reserves in a statement sent to the Wall Street Journal, stating that the United States has "far more than any other country" in terms of ammunition and that the amount is "well beyond" its needs.

    According to reports from the past two days, General Dan Keen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has informed the White House about the decrease in air defense missile reserves. This is a concerning issue for him, although he believes that low reserves will not prevent the resumption of large-scale combat operations against Iran, but it does increase the risks.

    Several U.S. officials also told the Wall Street Journal that Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, believes that the U.S. can manage with limited Patriot and other air defense interceptor reserves, as an increase in U.S. attacks, if approved by Trump, would reduce Iran's ability to launch a large number of missiles.

    Caroline Levitt, White House spokesperson, and Sean Parnell, senior Pentagon spokesperson, emphasized that the U.S. military has all the necessary resources to carry out any mission that Trump chooses.

    The U.S. Department of Defense halted its new campaign of bombing positions in Iran on Friday evening after 13 days of intense airstrikes, and as of today, early Monday, no attacks by the U.S. have been reported.

    The imminent danger of executing the death sentences of at least two individuals convicted in the December 2024 protests in Isfahan has increased.

    "Alireza Sepahi" and "Abulfazl Sepahi," two cousins who have been sentenced to death in this case, have been prepared for a "final meeting with their family," and the likelihood of their sentences being carried out on the morning of Tuesday, August 6, 2026, is very serious.

    It has also been reported to IranWire that "Somayeh Afshar," the mother of Alireza Sepahi and the mother-in-law of Abulfazl Sepahi, has been sentenced to five years in prison in the same case and is currently serving her sentence in prison.

    Currently, the available information only confirms the status of these two convicts. However, since several other defendants in this case also face death sentences, there is a possibility that others have also been called for a final meeting and are at risk of execution.

    According to these sources, Cooper has assessed that the attacks over the past two weeks have significantly reduced the Islamic Republic's ability to target ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and most of the designated targets for airstrikes have been eliminated.

    Informed sources added that Cooper has told U.S. officials that if a decision is made to resume extensive military operations, the U.S. could strike 20% of the targets that were not hit during Operation "Epic Fury." However, he emphasized that if a decision is not made to return to extensive operations, continuing the bombing campaign from the past two weeks would not be justified.

    Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stated in a message on the social media platform X that Ukraine's attack on an Iranian "commercial" vessel in the Caspian Sea is a "clear violation of the United Nations Charter" and declared that this action "cannot go unanswered."

    In this message, Araghchi wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, by attacking an Iranian "commercial" ship that resulted in the death of an Iranian sailor, has attempted to draw Europe into the war "at the behest of Israel." The Islamic Foreign Minister added that in his phone conversations with Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, and Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, he emphasized that this action should not go unanswered.

    Volodymyr Zelensky had previously announced that Ukrainian forces targeted ships in the Caspian Sea during long-range operations, which he claimed were being used to transport military cargo related to Iran.

    Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, stated that the conflict with Iran will end when the Islamic Republic's regime falls or is weakened enough to halt its nuclear program.

    In an interview with Fox News, he claimed that the Islamic Republic must realize that continuing to create "economic chaos in the world, killing thousands of its citizens, and attacking others" comes at a heavy cost. Netanyahu emphasized that Iran's nuclear program must end "whether through an agreement or without one."

    The Israeli Prime Minister also warned that if Iran or its allied groups attack Israel, they will face a "very decisive" response, adding that Tehran would be making a "big mistake" if it takes such action.

    Regarding his upcoming trip to Washington and meeting with Donald Trump, the President of the United States, he said he does not intend to provide new information, as, according to him, intelligence cooperation between the two countries is very close. He expressed eagerness to hear Trump's views on the future of the conflict with Iran, stating, "In many respects, this is his decision."

    He also announced that he will "definitely" attend the United Nations General Assembly in September in New York and plans to speak from the podium of this organization about Israel and the Israel-U.S. alliance.

    Netanyahu further criticized Zahran Mamdani, the Mayor of New York, accusing him of fueling hatred against Jews and supporting Hamas.

    He also expressed being "very concerned" about the declining support of the Democratic Party for Israel, claiming that several key figures in the party have moved closer to anti-Israel positions under pressure from political activists.

    In another part of his remarks, the Israeli Prime Minister supported Donald Trump's stance on Saudi Arabia, stating that Trump rightly emphasized that if relations between Riyadh and Israel are normalized, only a "civilian" nuclear program for Saudi Arabia should be agreed upon. He added that the last thing Israel and the U.S. want is the establishment of a military nuclear program in Saudi Arabia.

    Mike Waltz, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, announced that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has temporarily halted attacks on Iran to provide more opportunity for advancing diplomacy.

    Waltz said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday, "He is giving negotiations a chance; he has created a little space for the talks to progress."

    A spokesman for the Islamic Republic Army also stated that following the halt of U.S. attacks, Iran has also stopped its attacks on Washington's allies in the Middle East.

    The Tasnim News Agency, close to the Revolutionary Guards, claimed on Sunday that a tanker exploded in the Strait of Hormuz after hitting a naval mine.

    According to Tasnim's report, this tanker collided with a naval mine after leaving the designated shipping route set by Iran in this strategic waterway.

    Based on the fifth clause of the Islamabad agreement signed between Iran and the U.S. in late June to extend the ceasefire, Iran had committed to clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days to allow for the free passage of ships.

    On Sunday, July 25, Al Arabiya news network reported that the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran submitted their responses to a joint proposal from Pakistan and Qatar aimed at resuming negotiations between the two countries.

    According to the report, informed sources confirmed in conversations with Al Arabiya that Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan, and other regional mediators have presented a new plan to Washington and Tehran for establishing a 10-day ceasefire. This plan is designed to create a conducive environment for resolving the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and reviving previous agreements.

    Al Arabiya wrote that this proposal has two main conditions for bringing both sides back to the negotiation table, which include an immediate cessation of hostile actions and the complete and safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping traffic.

    According to the details of this plan, it has been stipulated that the southern shipping route through Omani waters will remain safe from attacks by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic, and the northern route through Iranian waters will also be exempt from the U.S. naval blockade.

    Shayan Oveisgharan, an Iranian computer science researcher and professor at the University of Washington, has received the 2026 Abacus Medal from the International Mathematical Union; an award given for outstanding achievements by young researchers in the field of mathematical computer science.

    The committee for this award states that Oveisgharan has expanded the analysis of algorithms by introducing tools from branches such as polynomial geometry, probability theory, and spectral graph theory, opening new pathways to solve several longstanding problems in computer science.

    His research has particularly focused on two areas: finding near-optimal paths and random sampling from very large and complex sets.

    The Abacus Medal is awarded every four years and continues an award that was known as the Rolf Nevanlinna Prize until 2018. Nominees for this award must not have reached the age of 40 at the beginning of the year of the International Congress of Mathematicians. This award is considered one of the most significant international honors in theoretical computer science.

    However, the importance of Oveisgharan's work cannot be fully understood just by listing technical terms. A significant part of his scientific journey relates to one of the most famous questions in computer science: how can one find the shortest possible route for traveling among several cities and ultimately return to the starting point?

    This question, known as the "Traveling Salesman Problem," appears simple at first glance. A salesperson, driver, or delivery agent must pass through several cities or destinations, visit each one once, and return to the starting point. As the number of destinations increases, the number of possible routes grows so rapidly that examining all of them becomes practically impossible.

    In such cases, researchers seek an algorithm that can find a path close to the best route within a reasonable time, with a guarantee that the result will not be worse than a certain threshold.

    The White House rejected the New York Times report about abandoning the plan to intensify military operations against the Islamic Republic.

    Steven Chang, the White House Communications Director, stated that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has always said he prefers a diplomatic solution, but if the Islamic Republic continues its terrorist actions in the Strait of Hormuz or against allies, all options remain on the table.

    Chang added that after sanctions have crippled the Islamic Republic's economy and thirteen consecutive days of attacks on military targets, it is wise for this government to move towards an agreement. He said otherwise, the other side knows what will happen.
