    Arak 11:50 Fighter jet sounds in the Ohadi area

    Hello, it's now 23:48 in Arak, and there have been 5 strong explosions so far.
    It became 8 at 23:50.

    Arak 11:48
    Jets are hitting Arak.

    Arak has been hit 5 or 6 times. It's probably the aluminum factory.
    Terrifying sounds, our house shook 8 times.

    Arak 23:45 to 23:55, close to 12-13 explosions. We still don't know where they hit, but the sound of the fighter jets is still there.

    Vahid, they just hit Arak again. I don't know if it's towards the aluminum or Bakhtar electricity, but there were 5-6 strong explosions at 23:45.

    The Wall Street Journal, citing intermediaries and a knowledgeable source, reported on Tuesday, April 6, that Tehran has informed Pakistan (which is playing the role of mediator) that it considers itself victorious in this battle.

    According to the report, the Islamic Republic claims to still possess 15,000 missiles and 45,000 drones in its arsenals. Although intermediaries believe these numbers are likely exaggerated, they view them as indicative of Tehran's unwavering position at the negotiating table.

    As Donald Trump's deadline approaches, the United States and Israel continue their heavy attacks against Iran. In response, the Revolutionary Guard and intermediaries have warned that Iran has threatened to carry out extensive attacks against Gulf countries and Israel's critical energy and power infrastructure.

    On Tuesday, Reuters reported, citing a senior official in Tehran who wished to remain anonymous, that Qatar conveyed Tehran's clear message to the United States and regional countries on Monday. According to this message, the Islamic Republic warned that if Washington targets Iran's power plants, "the entire region and Saudi Arabia will plunge into complete darkness due to Iran's retaliatory attacks."

    Additionally, this official of the Islamic Republic warned that if the situation spirals out of control, Iran's allies (proxy forces) will act to close the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. This threat comes as Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to the leadership, had previously emphasized that the "Resistance Front" views Bab-el-Mandeb just like the Strait of Hormuz and is prepared to disrupt global energy flows with unprecedented interference.

    On Tuesday, April 6, the President of France announced that two French citizens who had been detained in Iran are on their way back to their country. Emmanuel Macron wrote on X: "Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris have been released after three and a half years of detention in Iran and are on their way back to France." These two French citizens were released in November after more than three years in prison on charges of espionage. A source in the French Foreign Ministry stated that they left Iran early Tuesday morning with the French ambassador as part of a diplomatic convoy and "are currently in Azerbaijan." Cécile Kohler and her partner Jacques Paris were arrested in May 2022 and spent their imprisonment in Evin Prison. They were accused of attempting to "incite labor protests," a charge that their families strongly denied.
    @VahidHeadline
    The state news agency IRNA reported that the release of Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris, two French citizens, was part of an agreement between Tehran and Paris, and France had committed to the release of Mahdieh Esfandiari and to withdraw its complaint against the Islamic Republic at the International Court of Justice. Mahdieh Esfandiari, an Iranian citizen, was sentenced in March 2025 by a court in Paris to four years in prison and a permanent ban on entering French territory for "glorifying terrorism" by supporting the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel through social media.

    On Tuesday, April 6, the U.S. Vice President warned that the United States "has tools at its disposal that it has not yet decided to use against Iran."

    JD Vance, who is visiting Hungary, told reporters, "The United States has largely achieved its military objectives," adding that "there will be a lot of negotiations going on from now until the U.S. deadline at 8 PM Eastern Time."

    He stated, "They need to know that we have tools at our disposal that we have not yet decided to use. The President of the United States can decide to use them, and if the Iranians do not change their behavior, he will make that decision."
    Mr. Vance did not provide further details on this matter.
    @VahidHeadline
    The official account of the Trump administration on the social media platform X, while sharing the media explanation from "Headquarters" regarding JD Vance's remarks, wrote: "Absolutely none of the things the Vice President said here imply such a thing [the use of nuclear weapons]. You complete fools!"
    Vance had indicated in his remarks that the U.S. has "tools" that have not yet been employed in this war. Many media outlets, including Headquarters, analyzed that Vance's reference was to nuclear weapons; an analysis that was strongly dismissed by the White House.

    On Tuesday, April 6, China and Russia vetoed a proposed resolution from Bahrain to the United Nations Security Council, which encouraged countries to coordinate on "protecting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz."

    Two weeks ago, Bahrain, with the support of the United States and other oil-exporting countries in the Gulf, began discussions on a draft resolution that would grant any country wishing to use force to reopen the strait a clear mandate from the United Nations.

    However, after France, China, and Russia opposed the tone of the resolution, Bahrain modified its provisions and only called for encouraging countries to coordinate on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

    Since the United States and Israel began their war against Tehran on February 28, Iran has effectively closed this vital waterway, the repercussions of which have been felt throughout the global economy.

    Jamal Al-Ruwaie, Bahrain's ambassador to the United Nations, said last week: "We cannot accept the economic terrorism that affects our region and the world; the entire world has been impacted by these developments."

    The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday afternoon, April 18, citing officials in the Middle East, that Tehran has cut off its direct communications with the United States following a threat from Donald Trump, the President of the United States, to destroy "all civilization" in Iran.

    The newspaper states: However, discussions between the two countries continue through ceasefire mediators.

    The Wall Street Journal added: This action has temporarily complicated efforts to reach an agreement by Trump's deadline of 8 PM on Tuesday, but it has not ended the negotiations.

    One of these officials said that Iran intended to send a message of dissatisfaction and resistance by cutting off communications.

    It is still unclear whether direct talks will resume before the deadline expires.

    The Wall Street Journal reports that the White House did not immediately respond to its request for comment.

    On Tuesday evening, April 6, the President of the United States reiterated that if the deadline of 8 PM tonight is not met, the United States is prepared to carry out heavy attacks against Iran. Donald Trump made these remarks during a phone conversation with Bret Baier from Fox News, stating that the deadline "of 8 PM is definitive."

    On Monday, he had threatened that if an agreement to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not reached, the United States could target Iran's power plants and bridges, even saying that "the entire country could be destroyed in one night."

    Baier described the call, saying: "I just spoke with the President. I asked him if he wanted to speculate on the chances of this ending in a negotiated agreement. He said he didn't want to set a probability. But he did say that 8 PM is definitive. That’s what he said."

    He added: "Trump said if we reach that point, an attack will occur that they have never seen before. He is currently emphasizing this position. Of course, he said if negotiations progress today and lead to a tangible result, this situation might change. But at this moment, he didn't want to set a probability and said that plans are proceeding as we have them. This is a very important issue."

    The President had previously threatened in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, that "a complete civilization will be destroyed tonight and will never be revived." Trump wrote: "I don’t want this to happen, but it probably will."

    Trump's post:
    Tonight, a complete civilization will be destroyed, a civilization that will never be revived again.
    I do not wish for such an event to occur, but it is likely to happen.
    However, now that we are witnessing a complete and total regime change; a situation where different, smarter thoughts free from extremism have taken hold, perhaps a remarkable and revolutionary event will take place; who knows?
    Tonight, at one of the most sensitive and important moments in the long and complex history of the world, we will come to understand this.
    47 years of extortion, corruption, and death will finally come to an end.
    May God protect the great people of Iran!

    The Wall Street Journal, citing two U.S. officials, reported that the country's military targeted military objectives on Kharg Island in airstrikes early Tuesday, April 6 (Eastern Time). This operation took place just hours before Donald Trump's deadline for the Islamic Republic to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

    One of the officials stated that more than 50 military targets were destroyed in this strategic island, which is considered Iran's main oil export terminal. However, sources from the Wall Street Journal emphasized that the recent attacks were purely military in nature and did not involve oil infrastructure or extraction facilities.

    The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that its response to a potential strike on Iran's infrastructure by the U.S. President would be "beyond the region," as the deadline approaches.

    In a statement released on Tuesday afternoon, April 18, the IRGC's public relations office issued a stern warning to countries it referred to as "U.S. partners" in the region, stating that it would take action against their infrastructures that would leave "the U.S. and its allies deprived of the region's oil and gas for years."

    The IRGC also claimed that it has shown "a lot of restraint" so far and has had "considerations" in choosing its targets, but from now on, "all these considerations will be lifted."

    The U.S. President has given the Iranian government until the morning of Wednesday, April 19, to reach an agreement and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, stating that otherwise, the U.S. will bomb Iran's power plants and bridges.
