    🔻Kuwait
    The army of this country has announced that since 8 AM local time, it has been facing a "severe wave of hostile attacks from Iran." According to Kuwaiti officials, 20 to 80 drones have been intercepted, but these attacks have caused "severe material damage" to oil infrastructure, power plants, and desalination facilities.
    🔻United Arab Emirates
    The UAE Ministry of Defense has stated that since the ceasefire was implemented, it has been actively engaged with missiles and drones. The statement mentioned that the origin of these attacks is Iran, and the public has been urged to follow safety instructions.

    🔻Bahrain
    Earlier, we reported that news from Bahrain indicated that following an attack by a drone attributed to Iran, two people sustained minor injuries. The Bahraini government has not confirmed whether this attack occurred before or after the announcement of the temporary ceasefire.
    @VahidHeadline
    The Saudi Ministry of Defense announced on Wednesday, April 19, that it intercepted 9 drones targeting its territory.
    Despite the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, attacks on Gulf countries continue.
    A spokesperson for the Saudi Ministry of Defense stated in a brief message on X that "the interception and destruction of 9 drones occurred in recent hours." This message did not reference the location of the interceptions or potential targets.
    On the other hand, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that a Hermes-900 drone was intercepted and shot down in the skies over Lar in Fars Province.
    Iranian media also reported that Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, discussed "violations of the ceasefire in Iran and Lebanon" by Israel in a phone call with Asim Munir, the commander of the Pakistani army.
    @VahidHeadline
    The Financial Times, citing two informed sources, reported that a few hours after the temporary ceasefire between the Islamic Republic and the U.S., the East-to-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, which transports crude oil from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea for export, was targeted in an attack.
    According to these sources, one of the pumping stations along this 1,200-kilometer pipeline was targeted around 1 PM local time on Wednesday. This pipeline has become one of the main routes for Saudi oil exports following disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
    One of the sources stated that this facility was attacked by a drone and the extent of the damage is being assessed.
    Saudi Aramco, the state-owned company that owns and operates this pipeline, has refrained from commenting.

    Trump's latest post, machine translation:
    A great day for world peace!
    Iran is eager for this to happen; they are fed up! Others feel the same way!
    The United States will assist in managing and alleviating maritime traffic congestion in the Strait of Hormuz. We will witness many positive actions! Huge revenues will be generated, and Iran can begin its reconstruction process.
    We will load and send various supplies and will be "present" in the vicinity just to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
    I am confident this will happen. Just like what we are experiencing in the United States now, this could be a golden age for the Middle East!!!

    After CNN reported, citing a statement from the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, that the IRGC coordinates the passage through the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire, Trump called this CNN report a "fabrication and fraud" in a post on the social media platform Truth Social, referring to the "official statement" he had previously shared from Abbas Araghchi.
    Trump wrote: "Iran's official statement has just been released and is available on the 'Truth' network." He then threatened CNN with legal action.
    The Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, just minutes after Trump announced the temporary and conditional ceasefire, issued a statement claiming that the United States had accepted Tehran's 10-point plan as the basis for the upcoming two-week negotiations, stating that "controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the armed forces of Iran" was one of the points mentioned in Tehran's 10-point plan.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, shortly after announcing a temporary ceasefire with the Iranian government, described the agreement in a phone conversation with Agence France-Presse as a "complete and total victory" and stated that the uranium issue "will be fully resolved."
    Trump said: "One hundred percent. There is no doubt about it."
    He also added that the issue of Iran's enriched uranium reserves will be "fully addressed" within the framework of this agreement; otherwise, "I wouldn't have agreed to such an agreement at all."

    The Associated Press reported, citing a regional official who participated in recent negotiations with the Islamic Republic, that the two-week ceasefire plan includes allowing Iran and Oman to collect fees from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This official stated that the Iranian government would use the proceeds from this for "reconstruction," but Oman’s decision on how to spend this revenue is unclear. The Strait of Hormuz is located in the territorial waters of Oman and Iran. According to international rules, this passage is considered an international waterway, and no fees have ever been charged for passage through it. The official, who was directly involved in the negotiations, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal negotiations.

    Isfahan, at a quarter past three. We are in Malek Shahr, north of Isfahan. The windows are shaking. It's unclear if it's a missile or a fighter jet.

    Hello Vahid, right now in Isfahan, the sound of fighter jets is coming at 3:15.

    In Isfahan, the sound of fighter jets is very low at 3:15.

    In Isfahan, the sound of several explosions at 3:21.

    Vahid, this is a coup; they fired missiles again from Isfahan at 3:22.

    [Maybe this behavior is in the moments after the ceasefire announcement to say they didn't show weakness and were firing until the last moment...]

    I would like to thank my dear brother, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif, the esteemed Prime Minister of Pakistan, and Mr. Field Marshal Asim Munir, the respected Commander of the Pakistan Army, for their tireless efforts to end the war in the region.

    In response to the brotherly request of the Prime Minister of Pakistan mentioned in his tweet, and considering the request from the United States for negotiations on its 15-point proposals, as well as the announcement by the President of the United States regarding the acceptance of the generalities of Iran's 10-point proposals as a basis for negotiation, I hereby announce on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran:

    1. If attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran cease, our powerful armed forces will also halt their defensive attacks.

    2. For a period of two weeks, safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz will be possible in coordination with the Iranian armed forces, taking into account existing technical limitations."

    In a statement, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran wrote that following the approval of this body, negotiations are set to take place in Islamabad, Pakistan "within a maximum of 15 days."

    According to the Supreme National Security Council, "almost all objectives - from Iran's perspective - of the war have been achieved," and "while rejecting all proposals presented by the enemy, a 10-point plan was drafted and presented to the American side through Pakistan, emphasizing essential points such as controlled passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with Iran's armed forces, which grants Iran a unique economic and geopolitical position, and the necessity to end the war against all components of the resistance axis."

    ☄️ Trump's post about announcing agreement on a ceasefire

    Machine translation:
    Following consultations with Shahbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister, and General Asim Munir, the Commander of the Pakistan Army, and at their request to halt the destructive operations that were set to take place tonight against Iran, and conditional upon the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the "full, immediate, and safe" reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend bombing and attacks on Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a mutual "ceasefire"!

    The reason for this action is that we have already achieved all our military objectives and even surpassed them, and we have made significant progress towards reaching a definitive agreement regarding "lasting peace" with Iran and "peace in the Middle East." We have received a 10-point proposal from Iran and believe that this plan provides a practical and suitable basis for advancing negotiations.

    Almost all contentious issues between the United States and Iran have been agreed upon, but this two-week opportunity will allow for the finalization and full implementation of this agreement. As President and on behalf of the United States of America and also the countries of the Middle East, it is an honor that this long-standing crisis is on the verge of resolution.
