    On the fortieth day after the death of "Ali Khamenei," the leader of the Islamic Republic, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced in a statement that his death has been "as impactful in advancing the goals of the Islamic Republic as his lifetime."
    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.
    In conclusion, the IRGC mentioned the succession of "Mojtaba Khamenei" and stated that the leadership structure and path of the Islamic Republic will continue uninterrupted, and "revenge for the blood" of the slain will also be pursued.

    Pakistani authorities have announced that a local holiday will be observed in the capital of the country for two days starting Thursday, ahead of negotiations between the United States and Iran.

    According to a statement released late yesterday by the local administration of Islamabad, no specific reason has been given for this holiday. However, officials have stated that such restrictions prior to significant diplomatic events are usually related to security considerations.

    Reports indicate that Pakistan is preparing to host sensitive negotiations involving representatives from the United States and Iran regarding developments in the Middle East.

    The White House has also announced that J.D. Vance, the U.S. Vice President, will lead the American delegation in these negotiations in Islamabad later this week.

    Abbas Majedi, head of the Legal Medicine Organization, said on Thursday, April 20, on the sidelines of the memorial ceremony for the fortieth anniversary of the death of Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic: "More than 3,000 people were killed in attacks by the U.S. and Israel across the country, of which about 40% of the bodies were unidentifiable." He attributed this issue to the nature of the attacks and the weapons used, claiming that they were identified using the resources available in the Legal Medicine Organization.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, wrote on the social media platform Truth Social on Thursday:
    "All ships, planes, and military forces of the United States, along with additional ammunition and weapons, and everything necessary and appropriate to crush and destroy an enemy that has already been severely weakened, will remain in Iran and its surroundings until a real agreement is fully implemented. If for any reason this does not happen, which is very unlikely, then 'the shots will begin'; bigger, better, and more powerful than anything anyone has ever seen."

    In his message, he added: "It was agreed long ago, and contrary to all the false rhetoric of the opposition, [it was emphasized that]: there will be no nuclear weapons and the Strait of Hormuz will remain open and secure. In the meantime, our great army is being equipped and rested, and in fact, is looking forward to its next victories. America is back!"

    A video of Saeed Toosi, a Quran reciter close to the "Leader of the Revolution," in the streets of Iran, has gone viral on social media following the establishment of a ceasefire. In this video, a government reporter asks Toosi: "I know you have many memories with the Leader of the Revolution, what is your message to the people?"

    Saeed Toosi became well-known among Iranians due to a moral scandal and complaints from the families of several teenage Quran reciters regarding the sexual abuse of children. In 2016, Toosi faced serious allegations of sexual abuse against his teenage students. Although the initial court sentenced him to four years in prison, the appeals court acquitted this popular Quran reciter of the Supreme Leader.

    Donald Trump sharply criticized the New York Times and CNN, describing the publication of a 10-point plan attributed to the Islamic Republic as an attempt to "discredit those involved in the peace process."

    Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social that "the failing New York Times and the fake news network CNN have each published a completely fabricated '10-point plan' regarding negotiations with Iran, aimed at discrediting those involved in the peace process."

    The President of the United States emphasized to these two media outlets: "All 10 points were a manufactured deception; wicked losers!"

    This message from the President of the United States concluded with the slogan "We will make America great again."

    The "10-point plan" is the alleged response of the Islamic Republic to the United States' 15-point plan for ending the conflicts, and officials and media from the Islamic Republic claim that this plan serves as the basis for ceasefire negotiations and ending hostilities with the U.S.

    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.
    @VahidHeadline
    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.

    According to ISNA, the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that due to the wartime situation in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz from March 1, 2025, to April 8, 2025, and the potential presence of anti-ship mines in the main transit routes, ships must use alternative routes until further notice.

    The announcement states that vessels intending to pass through the Strait of Hormuz must coordinate with the Navy of the IRGC to navigate through designated routes for maritime safety and to prevent potential collisions with sea mines.

    According to this announcement, the entry route from the Sea of Oman to the north is designated from the area of Lark Island and then towards the Persian Gulf. Additionally, the exit route from the Persian Gulf is planned to pass south of Lark Island and continue towards the Sea of Oman.

    Well, I think it's clear how the ceasefire happened. The issue is that Pakistan told the clerics to present their plan, and to the U.S. it said, you present your plan too. Then it told both that the other accepted, so send blessings.

    After 38 days of war, the U.S. and the Islamic Republic have agreed on a temporary two-week ceasefire and the start of negotiations; an agreement for which there is still no unified narrative regarding the text and scope.
    In Tehran, there is talk of a "10-point plan"; a plan that emphasizes the cessation of attacks, the right to enrich uranium, the lifting of sanctions, war reparations, and Iran's role in the Strait of Hormuz. In contrast, reports from international and Israeli media indicate that Washington is demanding a halt to enrichment, the transfer of high-enriched uranium stocks, severe restrictions on the missile program, and an end to support for proxy forces.
    The important point is that contrary to the official narrative of the Islamic Republic regarding its plan, no official U.S. entity has published an independent and complete text of the "15-point plan" attributed to Washington, and most of its details have been obtained from media reports.
    This graphic summarizes the most important points that have been raised in various narratives from both sides; a narrative that shows a ceasefire has been established, but the war over the interpretation of the agreement is still ongoing.

    JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, criticized the media's performance before leaving Poland, stating that at least three different versions of the "10-point plan" have been published, causing confusion.

    He sarcastically remarked that the first version, which was handed to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, was so weak that it "was probably written by ChatGPT," and Trump immediately tossed it in the trash. Vance also referred to the third and "maximalist" version that has circulated on social media, deeming it worthless.

    According to Trump's deputy, there is only one 10-point plan that was drafted through mediation by Pakistan, and Trump has referenced it on "Truth Social." Vance warned that media outlets like CNN and The New York Times are playing into misinformation by republishing fake and unreliable versions.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates announced in a statement that the country is "seeking further clarification regarding the terms of the agreement to ensure Iran's full commitment to the immediate cessation of all hostilities in the region and the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz."
    The ministry added that Iran's attacks "require a firm stance, including ensuring that Iran is held accountable and fully responsible for damages and compensation."

    During more than a month of war, Iran attacked the Gulf countries in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks, targeting the United Arab Emirates more than any other country.
    Iran's attacks disrupted life in a region that had long been seen as a safe haven in a tense Middle East; these attacks targeted not only U.S. assets but also civilian infrastructure, including airports, energy infrastructure, as well as landmark sites, ports, hotels, and residential areas.

    The United Arab Emirates called for addressing "the full spectrum of Iran's threats, including nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles, drones," and its proxy forces, and emphasized that threats against freedom of navigation, as well as economic warfare and piracy in the Strait of Hormuz, must come to an end.

    Iran's attacks have soured relations between the Gulf countries and the Islamic Republic after years of de-escalation among former adversaries.
    These developments have also pushed the United Arab Emirates to adopt a tougher stance towards Iran, leading it to recall its ambassador from the Islamic Republic and close its embassy there.

    This comes as some media outlets close to the Iranian government claim that the attacks on Qeshm Island occurred after a ceasefire was initiated by Emirati fighter jets. Tehran and Abu Dhabi have not officially commented on these reports.

    Ghalibaf: After 3 key violations of the agreed framework, a ceasefire and negotiations are meaningless

    Ghalibaf's Telegram channel published the following Persian text along with a screenshot of his tweet in English:
    "After 3 key violations of the agreed framework, a ceasefire and negotiations are meaningless | The invasion of Lebanon, the violation of Iranian airspace, and the denial of the right to enrichment are violations of three key clauses of the agreed framework.

    🔖 Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Parliament, wrote in a statement regarding the violation of three key clauses of Iran's ten-point plan (the agreed framework) before the start of negotiations on X network:

    📌From the very beginning, we have been following the ongoing process with distrust, and as predicted, the United States has once again violated its commitments before the start of negotiations.

    📌As the President of the United States has explicitly stated, the ten-point plan of the Islamic Republic of Iran is considered the basis and workable framework for these discussions. However, up to this moment, three clauses of this proposal have been violated:

    1️⃣ Non-compliance with the first clause of the ten-point plan regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon — a commitment that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also explicitly referred to, declaring it as an "immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and other areas, effective immediately";

    2️⃣ The entry of an invading drone into Iranian airspace, which was destroyed in the city of Lar in Fars province, is a clear violation of the clause prohibiting any further incursions into Iranian airspace;

    3️⃣ The denial of the acceptance of Iran's right to enrichment, which was the sixth clause of this framework.

    Now, even the "basic framework for negotiation" has had three of its key clauses publicly and openly violated before the start of negotiations.

    📌In such circumstances, neither a mutual ceasefire has any meaning nor do negotiations."

    Initially, the Iranians presented a 10-point plan that was fundamentally unserious and completely unacceptable. This plan was effectively thrown in the trash by President Trump and his negotiating team.

    Many media outlets have mistakenly reported that this plan was acceptable to the United States. This claim is not true. As the deadline set by the President approached rapidly, and while the U.S. military was delivering heavy blows to Iran hour by hour, this regime accepted reality in front of the negotiating team.

    After that, they presented a new, different, more compact, and reasonable plan. President Trump and his team concluded that this new revised plan could serve as a viable basis for negotiations; a basis that is supposed to align with our own 15-point proposal.

    On Wednesday, the Islamic Republic publicly released what it called a "10-point framework for negotiations"; a text that Donald Trump described as a "practical basis for negotiation" to end the war. However, a large part of this proposal includes maximalist demands that seem very difficult, if not impossible, to align with U.S. objectives.

    In response to this, a White House official, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the materials Iran published differ from what President Trump had seen.

    The proposed version from the Islamic Republic, released the morning after the agreement on a two-week ceasefire, emphasizes the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region, insists on Iran's control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and maintains the right to nuclear enrichment. This comes as many of these clauses directly contradict the 15-point plan that American mediators had drafted last month.

Tehran has warned that if attacks continue, it may revoke its decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

    According to the report, Iranian mediators have warned that if Israeli attacks on Iranian and Lebanese territory do not cease, Tehran will continue its retaliatory strikes against regional countries, including Israel.

    While the United States and Iran have reached an agreement to halt hostilities for a two-week period, the Israeli army announced that despite accepting a ceasefire regarding Iran, it would not stop ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
