    Iran has a very poor and - according to some - dishonorable performance regarding the issuance of permits for oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This is not the agreement we have with each other!

    In explaining these matters, he claimed that Lebanon and what he called the "Resistance Axis," as allies of the Islamic Republic, are an inseparable part of any ceasefire agreement, and this issue has been presented within the framework of a 10-point proposal.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced on Thursday, April 8, in an interview with NBC News that he is "very optimistic" about reaching a peace agreement with the Islamic Republic.

    In this phone interview, Trump said: "Iranian leaders speak very differently in meetings than they do with the media; they are much more rational in negotiations. They agree to all the issues that need to be addressed. Don't forget that they have failed and no longer have military power." He also warned: "If they do not agree to a deal, very painful conditions await them."

    Iranian media on Thursday published a written message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, without showing any audio or video of him, in which he emphasized the imposition of restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's demand for "compensation."
    The statement said, "We will definitely bring the management of the Strait of Hormuz into a new phase and will demand compensation for each damage inflicted and the blood price of the martyrs and the blood money for the veterans of this war."
    Since the beginning of the war with the United States and Israel, Iran has prevented the free movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz and has stated that it will establish a new legal system for charging ships.
    Mojtaba Khamenei also implicitly warned Iran's southern neighbors to "see correctly and understand correctly and stand in the right place and be wary of the false promises of the wicked devils," according to the statement.
    These countries have been asked to see Iran's "brotherhood and goodwill" in exchange for showing an "appropriate reaction."
    @VahidHeadline
    In a message issued on the fortieth day after the death of the former leader of the Islamic Republic, Mojtaba Khamenei announced to Iran's southern neighbors that Tehran will definitely demand "compensation for the damages inflicted and the blood price of the dead" in what he called the "third imposed war." He emphasized that the management of the Strait of Hormuz will enter a new phase and that the Islamic Republic will not retreat from its rights in the "entire resistance front."
    The third leader of the Islamic Republic told the countries in the region not to rely on the "false promises of the devils" and that Tehran is still waiting for their appropriate reaction to prove brotherhood.
    Mojtaba Khamenei also pointed out that the upcoming negotiations will be influenced by "the cries of the people in the squares," and the determination for revenge for the blood of Ali Khamenei and other war martyrs will remain a decisive priority in the spirit and heart of the regime's supporters.
    @VahidOOnLine
    On Thursday, Farvardin 20, Mojtaba Khamenei once again limited himself to publishing a written message on the fortieth day of Ali Khamenei's passing, and no image or sound of him was released.
    In this text, he referred to his father with titles such as "Father of the Iranian Nation" and "Leader of the Right-Seeking in the Present Era."
    In this message, he described his father's 37-year leadership as a path of "selflessness and sincere struggle," during which the Islamic Republic transformed from a damaged sapling into a "pure tree" with regional and global influence.
    Mojtaba Khamenei claimed that after his father's death, the hearts of people with various tendencies have come closer together, and everyone has gathered under the flag of the Islamic Republic.

    The message published by Ghalibaf:
    ... The historic retreat of the arrogant President of the United States and the abandonment of the U.S. plan, along with the acceptance of the general outlines of the 10-point plan of the Islamic Republic, which explicitly states Iran's rights, is considered an undeniable victory for Islamic Iran in this civilizational war and enhances the position of the Islamic Republic in the region and the new global order.
    ...
    ... We did not agree to negotiate with the U.S. under Trump's ultimatum, and at that time he was forced to falsely speak of negotiations with Iran to control his country's market and to extend his ultimatum three times. Even the acceptance of the framework of this 10-point plan by Iran has not resulted from negotiations; rather, the method used for diplomacy has been the exchange of texts. From now on, if the U.S. does not continue to violate its commitments, we may enter negotiations; otherwise, we will reignite the fire. Our people and armed forces are also prepared for this matter.

    (Update: Half an hour after this post, air defense was also activated in western Tehran.)

    They might be shooting at a reconnaissance drone or a small UAV, or perhaps they see nothing and are just firing.

    Donald Trump, in a message posted on the social media platform "Truth Social," once again harshly criticized Western allies and NATO. He described NATO's performance as "disappointing," stating that the leaders of this alliance only realize the realities when under pressure.
    During the war with the Islamic Republic, Trump repeatedly criticized the actions of NATO member countries and their lack of cooperation in reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He had previously referred to NATO as a "paper tiger" and threatened to withdraw from the pact.

    Two European diplomats told Reuters that NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg informed some capitals on Thursday, April 8, that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is seeking specific and actionable commitments in the coming days to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.
    According to these sources, Trump is looking for direct and immediate participation from his NATO allies to reopen and protect this strategic waterway. This request has increased pressure on NATO member countries to play a more active role in the recent Gulf crisis.

    On Thursday afternoon, April 20, with ongoing uncertainties about the sustainability of the ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices rose again, returning to nearly $100 per barrel.
    @VahidHeadline
    Reuters reported that Russia's revenue from its largest oil tax will double due to the oil and gas crisis caused by U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
    Since the beginning of the Islamic Republic's war, the Strait of Hormuz has effectively closed a route for about one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flows, causing Brent crude oil prices to rise above $100 per barrel.
    According to Reuters' calculations based on preliminary production and price data, Russia's mineral extraction tax from oil production in April will reach about 700 billion rubles ($9 billion), while in March it was 327 billion rubles.
    This calculation represents the first tangible evidence for Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter, of unexpected profits arising from the war in Iran; a war that, according to oil traders, has created the most severe energy crisis in recent history.
    @VahidOOnLine
    With the Islamic Republic's continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz despite the ceasefire, the Japanese government is seeking to release another 20 million barrels of oil from its strategic reserves in May.
    This country has a 95% dependence on oil imports, most of which come from Gulf Arab countries.
    Reuters writes that the oil shortage has caused Japanese refineries to operate at below 68% of their nominal capacity.
    Japan is also searching for oil resources outside the Strait of Hormuz and has increased coal consumption in power plants to cope with the oil and gas shortage.

    The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization rejected the limitations on uranium enrichment in Iran, stating, "Restricting the enrichment program is merely a wish that will go to the grave."

    According to the ISNA news agency, Mohammad Eslami emphasized on Thursday, April 20, during a ceremony held for the fortieth day after the death of Ali Khamenei in Tehran, that "no law or individual" can stop the enrichment program.

    These remarks come as negotiations between Iran and the United States, mediated by Pakistan, are set to take place tomorrow, Friday. The U.S. has declared the cessation of enrichment as one of the conditions for an agreement to end the war, while in contrast, the Fars news agency, close to the IRGC, states that one of the ten points of the Iranian government for an agreement is "the acceptance of Iran's right to enrichment by the U.S. and negotiations regarding the level of enrichment."

    In addition to the issue of enrichment, the inclusion of Lebanon in the two-week ceasefire is another point of contention ahead of the Islamabad negotiations, which, due to the ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon, has left the prospects for the talks shrouded in uncertainty.

    In this statement, the IRGC emphasized that Ali Khamenei's path in areas such as "resistance," "independence," and "justice" will continue, and what is referred to as "the end of the era of imperialism" will come about as a result of the killing of the former leader of the Islamic Republic.
    The IRGC also claimed that during recent clashes, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic inflicted "one hundred lethal blows" on American and Israeli forces; however, the IRGC did not specify in which areas and on what days these blows were dealt to the armed forces of these two countries.
    In another part of this statement, the IRGC referred to several senior military commanders of the Islamic Republic and named "Abdolrahim Mousavi," "Mohammad Pakpour," "Ali Shamkhani," "Aziz Nasirzadeh," and "Mohammad Shirazi" as individuals who were killed in Khamenei's residence.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, launched a tirade against NATO after a closed-door meeting with Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO Secretary General, and seems to have revived his threats regarding Greenland.

    According to Agence France-Presse, this meeting took place amid expectations that discussions would focus on the possibility of the U.S. withdrawing from this important security bloc.

    Trump's anger towards NATO allies for not supporting him in his war against Iran has raised fears that he is seeking to pull the United States out of this eighty-year-old alliance. However, in his first remarks after the meeting, he merely emphasized his dissatisfaction.

    He wrote on the social media platform Truth Social: "When we needed NATO, they weren't there, and if we need them again, they won't be." He added without further explanation: "Remember Greenland, that big piece of ice that is poorly managed!!!"

    Before Trump began his war against Iran, his threat to acquire this vast polar island from Denmark, which is a NATO ally, was one of the main issues that unsettled the alliance.

    Stoltenberg, the former Prime Minister of the Netherlands known for his calm conversational skills, entered the west wing of the White House through a side entrance, and their meeting was held behind closed doors. Stoltenberg later said in a television interview with CNN: "It was a very frank and open discussion."

    When Stoltenberg was asked several times whether Trump mentioned leaving the alliance, he did not provide a direct answer.

    Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is looking to "punish" some NATO members whom he believes did not cooperate during the conflicts; he intends to do this by withdrawing American troops from their countries.

    The plan reported by The Wall Street Journal is less severe than Trump's usual threats of a complete U.S. withdrawal from NATO, an action that would require congressional approval.

    Since Trump's return to power last year, NATO has grappled with multiple crises, the most severe being his threat to acquire Greenland. In recent months, he has also halted support for Ukraine in its war against Russia and threatened that he would not protect allies if they do not increase their defense spending.

    Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO Secretary General, stated that Donald Trump is "clearly dissatisfied with European allies" following today's meeting in Washington. Mr. Stoltenberg told CNN that the discussions were "very frank and transparent" and informed Mr. Trump that a significant majority of European countries have cooperated. In response to the question of whether the world is now safer than before the war, he said "definitely," attributing this to Donald Trump's "leadership" in weakening Iran's nuclear threats. The NATO Secretary General also added that NATO members do not consider the war in Iran illegal and most believe that weakening Iran's nuclear capabilities is a necessary action. These statements contrast with those of some European leaders who have repeatedly stated that they did not participate in military action against Iran, asserting that this is "their war."

    Elina Shirazi, a reporter for the Daily Mail, asked during a press conference at the White House on Wednesday, April 19, about her family's situation in Iran, what the people of Iran should do in the current circumstances, and how they can stay safe. She mentioned that one of her family members had said goodbye to her due to the existing conditions.

    Caroline Levitt, the White House spokesperson, responded by stating that the priority of the U.S. President is to send clear messages to the people of this country and emphasized that Washington has addressed the "immediate threat" posed by the military forces of the Islamic Republic against the U.S. and its allies. She added that the United States has entered a new round of negotiations with what she described as the "new government" and parties in contact to reach an agreement that would create long-term stability in the Middle East.

    Shirazi further pointed out the contradiction between the advice to stay home and simultaneously "take back the country," asking for clarification, but Levitt reiterated the focus on continuing negotiations and striving for long-term peace in the region, including for the people of Iran.
