Trump's latest post, machine translation: Iran has a very poor and - according to some - dishonorable performance in issuing permits for oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This is not the agreement we have with each other! President Donald J. Trump realDonaldTrump 📡 @VahidOnline

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, reposting his previous message on X network, wrote "Time is running out" while simultaneously referring to clauses from the temporary ceasefire proposal. In explaining these points, he claimed that Lebanon and what is called the "axis of resistance," as allies of the Islamic Republic, are an inseparable part of any ceasefire agreement, and this issue has been raised within the framework of a 10-point proposal. Ghalibaf also wrote that Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan's Prime Minister, has publicly and explicitly emphasized the Lebanon issue and "there is no room for denial or retreat." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced on Thursday, April 9th in an interview with NBC News that he is "very optimistic" about reaching a peace agreement with the Islamic Republic. Trump said in this phone interview: "Iranian leaders speak very differently in meetings than what they say to the media; they are much more reasonable in negotiations. They agree with everything they should. Don't forget that they have been defeated and no longer have military force." He also warned: "If they don't agree to a deal, very painful conditions await them." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Iranian media outlets on Thursday published the text of a written message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, without showing any audio or video of him, in which emphasis was placed on imposing restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran receiving "reparations." The statement said that "we will definitely move the management of the Strait of Hormuz to a new phase and will demand compensation for each and every damage inflicted and blood money for the martyrs and compensation for the war veterans of this war." Since the start of the war with America and Israel, Iran has prevented the free passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz and has said it will establish a new legal system for charging fees to ships. Mojtaba Khamenei also implicitly warned Iran's southern neighbors to, according to this statement, "see correctly and understand correctly and stand in the right place and be suspicious of the false promises of devils." In this message, these countries were asked to show "appropriate reaction" in return for seeing Iran's "brotherhood and goodwill" @ VahidHeadline Mojtaba Khamenei, in a message released to mark the fortieth day since the killing of the former leader of the Islamic Republic, announced to Iran's southern neighbors that Tehran will definitely demand "compensation for damages inflicted and blood money for those killed" in the war he called the "Third Imposed War." He emphasized in this message that the management of the Strait of Hormuz will enter a new phase and the Islamic Republic will not retreat from its rights in the "entire resistance front." The third leader of the Islamic Republic, addressing regional countries, said they should not rely on the "false promises of devils" and Tehran is still waiting for their appropriate reaction to prove their brotherhood. Mojtaba Khamenei also, referring to upcoming negotiations, emphasized that "people's cries in the squares" will influence the outcome of the talks and the resolve for revenge for Ali Khamenei's blood and other war casualties will remain alive as a decisive priority in the spirit and heart of the system's supporters. @ VahidOOnLine Mojtaba Khamenei, on Thursday, April 20th, on the occasion of the fortieth day of Ali Khamenei's death, once again limited himself to releasing a written message and no image or sound of him was published. In this text, he referred to his father with titles such as "Father of the Iranian Nation" and "Leader of Truth-Seekers in the Present Era." In this message, he described his father's 37-year period of leadership as a path of "sincere sacrifice and struggle" in which the Islamic Republic system transformed from a damaged sapling to a "good tree" with regional and global influence. Mojtaba Khamenei claimed that after his father's death, the hearts of people with different tendencies have grown closer and everyone has gathered under the flag of the Islamic Republic. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

The message that Qalibaf has published: ... The historic retreat of America's arrogant president and the setting aside of the United States' plan and acceptance of the general framework of the Islamic Republic's 10-article plan, which explicitly states Iran's rights, is considered an undeniable victory for Islamic Iran in this civilizational war and will elevate the Islamic Republic's position in the region and the new world order. ... ... We were not prepared to negotiate with America 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 extend his ultimatum three times. Even accepting the framework of this 10-article Iranian plan has not been achieved through negotiations, but rather the method used for diplomacy has been the exchange of texts. It is only from now on that if America does not continue violating its commitments, we might enter negotiations, otherwise we will restart the fire again. Our people and armed forces also have the necessary readiness for this matter. Full text: https://telegra.ph/Ghalibaf-04-09 📡 @VahidOnline

Air defense sounds were heard in eastern Tehran. Generally, air defense sounds are occasionally heard in some areas of Tehran and Karaj. (Update: Half an hour after this post, air defense was also activated in western Tehran.) Sounds are also being heard in Tabriz. Maybe they see a reconnaissance drone or small aircraft and shoot, or maybe they don't see anything and still shoot. In any case, it doesn't seem like there's news of an attack or other incident. After the ceasefire of the 12-day war, these sounds were also heard for a while. 📡 @VahidOnline

Abbas Araghchi's tweet with his channel's translation: "Warning from the Foreign Minister; If America wants to allow Netanyahu to destroy the path of diplomacy and ruin its own economy, we are ready! Benjamin Netanyahu's criminal trial resumes on Sunday. Establishing a comprehensive ceasefire throughout the region, including in Lebanon, could accelerate his imprisonment process. If the United States chooses to allow Netanyahu to destroy diplomacy and drag its economy into collapse, that will ultimately be America's own choice.

A senior U.S. government official told NBC News that Donald Trump, in a phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu, asked the Israeli Prime Minister to reduce the scope of Israeli army attacks on Lebanon in order to ensure the success of negotiations with the Islamic Republic. According to this official, although both the Trump administration and Israel emphasize that Lebanon is not included in the recent ceasefire agreement, Tel Aviv has agreed to be a "helpful partner" in this regard.

Thursday afternoon, April 9th, with continued uncertainties about the ceasefire sustainability between Iran and America and the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices rose again, returning to approximately $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 US and Israeli attacks on Iran. Since the beginning of the Islamic Republic's war, the Strait of Hormuz - a route for about one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flow - has been effectively blocked, causing Brent crude prices to rise to over $100 per barrel. According to Reuters calculations based on preliminary production and oil price data, Russia's mineral extraction tax from oil production in April will reach about 700 billion rubles ($9 billion), while it was 327 billion rubles in March. This calculation represents the first concrete evidence for Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter, of unexpected profits from Iran's war - a war that oil traders say has created the most severe energy crisis in recent history. @VahidOnline Despite the ceasefire, with the Islamic Republic's continued disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, the Japanese government is planning to release another 20 million barrels of oil from its strategic reserves in May. This country has a 95% dependency on oil imports, with the majority supplied from Arab countries in the Persian Gulf region. Reuters writes that the oil shortage has caused Japanese refineries to operate below 68% of nominal capacity. Japan is also searching for oil sources outside the Strait of Hormuz and has increased coal consumption in power plants to cope with the oil and gas shortage. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, says that even after the ceasefire agreement between America and Israel, the country will continue attacking Hezbollah "wherever necessary." Earlier, Israel had announced that this ceasefire does not include Lebanon; however, the Islamic Republic says that Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon constitute a "serious violation" of this agreement. Mr. Netanyahu said: "Our message is clear: anyone who acts against Israeli civilians will be targeted." He added: "We will continue attacking Hezbollah wherever necessary, until complete security is established for residents of northern Israel." The Israeli Prime Minister made these statements after his country's army announced the killing of Ali Youssef Harshi, assistant and nephew of Naim Qassem, Hezbollah's Secretary-General. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Amid Israel's continued extensive attacks on Lebanon, international efforts to expand the ceasefire agreement terms between the Islamic Republic and America to include Lebanon have intensified. David Cooper, Britain's Foreign Secretary, emphasized in a press conference on Thursday, April 9th, that for the sustainability of the ceasefire and establishing peace in the Middle East, the two-week ceasefire agreement between the Islamic Republic and Washington must also include Lebanon. Mao Ming, spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, also called for Lebanon's inclusion in the ceasefire during a press conference on the same day. Jean-Noël Barrot, France's Foreign Minister, told reporters after a phone conversation between Macron and Pezeshkian that given the fragile nature of the Tehran-Washington ceasefire, Lebanon should be added to the ceasefire and peace plan. Spain's government has also called for an immediate end to Israeli attacks on Lebanon and declared that Lebanon is part of the ceasefire agreement and this agreement must be implemented. @ VahidOOnLine José Manuel Albares, Spain's Foreign Minister, on Thursday accused Israel of "violating international law and the two-week ceasefire" in the Middle East due to attacks on Lebanon. Albares told Spanish Parliament lawmakers on Thursday: "Yesterday we saw how Israel, ignoring the ceasefire and in violation of international law, dropped hundreds of bombs on Lebanon." Additionally, Albares announced shortly before that Spain would reopen its embassy in Tehran "with hope of achieving peace in the region." Spain's Foreign Minister told reporters: "I have ordered my ambassador in Tehran to return, resume his responsibilities and reopen our embassy, so that we can join this effort for peace through every possible avenue, including from Iran's capital itself." @ VahidHeadline Gideon Sa'ar, Israel's Foreign Minister, wrote in a message on X on Thursday, April 9th: "Iran's terrorist regime is resuming the execution of its citizens, protesters, and political opponents."

An eternal disgrace." @ VahidHeadline Yesterday's severe and deadly Israeli attacks on Lebanon have faced strong international condemnation; according to Lebanese civil defense officials, 250 people were killed in these attacks. Emmanuel Macron, France's President, said these attacks were carried out without any discrimination and caused many civilian casualties. Mr. Macron said he assured Joseph Aoun, his Lebanese counterpart, of his support; Mr. Aoun himself had called Israel's attacks "barbaric." Meanwhile, Pedro Sánchez, Spain's Prime Minister, said these attacks showed that Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, is "intolerably" indifferent to human lives and international law. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization rejected limitations on uranium enrichment in Iran, saying "limiting the enrichment program is merely wishful thinking that will go to the grave." According to ISNA news agency, Mohammad Eslami emphasized on Thursday, April 9th, on the sidelines of a ceremony held in Tehran for the fortieth day of Ali Khamenei's death, that "no law or individual" can stop the enrichment program. These statements come as negotiations between Iran and the United States are scheduled to be held tomorrow, Friday, with Pakistan's mediation. The US has declared the dismantling of enrichment as one of the conditions for an agreement to end the war, while Fars news agency, close to the Revolutionary Guards, says one of the Iranian government's 10-point clauses for agreement is "US acceptance of Iran's right to enrichment and negotiations about the level of enrichment." In addition to the enrichment issue, Lebanon's inclusion in the two-week ceasefire is another point of contention on the eve of the Islamabad negotiations, which, with Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon, has kept the prospects for holding negotiations shrouded in uncertainty. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

On the fortieth day after the death of "Ali Khamenei," leader of the Islamic Republic, the Revolutionary Guards issued a statement declaring that his death has been "as impactful as his lifetime" in advancing the Islamic Republic's goals. In this statement, the Guards emphasized that Ali Khamenei's path in areas such as "resistance," "independence," and "justice" will continue, and what they called "the end of the era of arrogance" will come about as a result of the former Islamic Republic leader's killing. The Revolutionary Guards also claimed that during recent clashes, the Islamic Republic's armed forces have dealt "one hundred deadly blows" to American and Israeli forces; however, the Guards did not specify in which regions and on which days these strikes were delivered against the armed forces of these two countries. In another section of this statement, the Revolutionary Guards also referenced a number of senior military commanders of the Islamic Republic, naming "Abdolrahim Mousavi," "Mohammad Pakpour," "Ali Shamkhani," "Aziz Nasirzadeh," and "Mohammad Shirazi" as individuals who were killed in Khamenei's residence. The Guards concluded by referring to "Mojtaba Khamenei's" succession, announcing that the leadership structure and path of the Islamic Republic will continue without interruption and that "blood revenge" for those killed will also be pursued. @ VahidHeadline Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the Central Command of senior U.S. forces (CENTCOM), presented his final assessment of Operation "Epic Wrath" in a statement on Thursday, announcing that the United States and Israel, through more than 13,000 air strikes, have systematically destroyed the Islamic Republic's conventional military capabilities that had been built over 40 years at a cost of billions of dollars. @ VahidOOnLine List of 52 senior officials and commanders of the Islamic Republic killed in U.S. and Israeli attacks: iranintl 📡 @VahidOnline

Donald Trump, with sharp criticism of The New York Times and CNN, described the publication of a 10-point plan attributed to the Islamic Republic as an action aimed at "discrediting those involved in the peace process." Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social that "the failing New York Times and fake news CNN have each published a completely fabricated '10-point plan' about Iran negotiations that was intended to discredit those involved in the peace process."

Donald Trump, President of the United States, after a closed-door meeting with Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, lashed out at the organization and appears to have revived his threats about Greenland. According to Agence France-Presse, this meeting took place amid expectations that it would discuss the possibility of America's withdrawal from this important security bloc. Trump's anger at NATO allies for not cooperating in his war against Iran had created fears that he was seeking to pull the United States out of this eighty-year-old alliance. However, in his first statements after this meeting, he merely emphasized his dissatisfaction. He wrote on the Truth Social network: "When we needed NATO, they weren't there, and if we need them again, they won't be." Without any further explanation, he added: "Remember Greenland, that big chunk of ice that's badly managed!!!" Before Trump began his war against Iran, his threat to seize this vast polar island from Denmark, which is considered a NATO ally, was one of the main issues that unsettled the alliance. Rutte, the former Dutch Prime Minister who has become known for his skill in calm conversations, entered through a side entrance to the West Wing of the White House, and their meeting was held behind closed doors. Rutte later said in a CNN television interview: "This was a very frank and candid conversation." When Rutte was repeatedly asked whether Trump had mentioned withdrawing from the alliance or not, he did not give a direct answer. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is instead seeking to "punish" some NATO members who, in his opinion, did not cooperate during the conflicts; he intends to do this by withdrawing American forces from their countries. The plan reported by the Wall Street Journal is less than Trump's usual threats of complete U.S. withdrawal from NATO - an action that would require congressional approval. NATO has been grappling with multiple crises since Trump's return to power last year, the most severe of which was his threat to seize Greenland. In recent months, he has also stopped supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia and threatened that if allies don't increase their defense spending, he won't protect them. @ VahidHeadline Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, has said that Donald Trump is "clearly dissatisfied with European allies" after today's meeting in Washington. Mr. Rutte told CNN America that these negotiations were "very frank and transparent" and that he told 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 "absolutely" and attributed 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 of them believe that weakening Iran's nuclear capabilities was a necessary action. These statements contradict the words of some European country leaders who, while explicitly stating they would not participate in military attacks on Iran, had repeatedly said this was not "their war." @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
