Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, announced on Thursday that he has agreed to a temporary 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon to provide the necessary time to advance Donald Trump's plan, the US President, to reach a peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon. The Israeli Prime Minister said in a video message that the peace agreement must include the dismantling of Iran-backed Hezbollah militias. He also said that Israeli forces will remain in southern Lebanon. Benjamin Netanyahu said Hezbollah demanded the withdrawal of the Israeli army to the international border, but he did not agree to it. The Israeli army has entered areas in southern Lebanon since the start of the new war. The Israeli Prime Minister also said that Donald Trump has assured him that he is determined to continue the naval blockade and dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities. @ VahidHeadline Netanyahu added that in addition to the nuclear program, Iran's missile threats and enrichment capabilities will also be addressed, but he did not provide further details. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of Defense, said Thursday at a Pentagon press conference that American forces in the Middle East are positioned to resume combat operations if Iran does not agree to a peace deal. Addressing senior Iranian officials, he said: "As our negotiators have said, you can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge, and we hope you will do this for the Iranian people." The U.S. Defense Secretary, referring to the naval blockade of Iran that began Monday this week, emphasized that the United States will continue this blockade "for as long as necessary," and this action includes vessels of any nationality intending to enter or exit Iranian ports. Hegseth then warned: "But if Iran makes a bad choice, it will face blockade and bombing of infrastructure, electricity and energy." General Dan Cain, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said at this press conference about the current ceasefire: "I want to emphasize that during this pause, the U.S. joint force remains in a state of readiness and is capable at any moment of resuming extensive combat operations." Regarding the naval blockade operation of Iran, he also announced: "We will actively pursue any ship flying the Iranian flag or any ship attempting to provide logistical assistance to Iran." Cain added that ships attempting to break the blockade will be stopped and warned that "if you do not comply with this blockade, we will use force." He specified that implementing these measures will take place both in Iranian territorial waters and in international waters. @VahidHeadline The U.S. Defense Secretary stated that the Islamic Republic likes to claim it controls the Strait of Hormuz, but this is not the case because they fundamentally have no navy. Pete Hegseth added: The Islamic Republic's threat to fire on commercial ships is not control, but piracy and terrorism. He continued: Iran's energy industry has not yet been destroyed, but the American blockade has stopped exports. The U.S. Defense Secretary warned that if Iran's infrastructure has not been destroyed, it is due to an opportunity that President Trump has given for negotiation and agreement. He further added that the U.S. Navy controls traffic in the strait and does this work with less than 10 percent of its naval capability. @VahidHeadline @VahidOOnLine @VahidHeadline Pete Hegseth, U.S. Defense Secretary, said that the Houthis did not enter Iran's war and this was a good decision. Regarding Mojtaba Khamenei's condition, he said: "It appears that he is injured and alive." @VahidOOnLine Brigadier General Amir Hatami, commander of the Islamic Republic's army, said Thursday, April 27, at the ceremony welcoming forces from the destroyer Dena: The enemy does not get closer than a certain limit to Iran's navy. Hatami, emphasizing the activity of the Islamic Republic's navy, said: They say they have destroyed Iran's navy, but they maintain a distance of 200-300 kilometers from it. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

IRNA: Google search engine has become accessible for some users of Hamrah-e Avval, Shatel, and Rightel. Previously, closing a website was considered news, now opening a website is considered news! This is the difference between #filtering based on blacklist (before) versus whitelist (now).

Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, warned on Wednesday at the White House that the United States is preparing to intensify economic pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran by imposing secondary sanctions on financial institutions that trade with the country. Bessent called this action the "financial equivalent" of bombing the Islamic Republic of Iran. He also threatened to sanction Iranian oil buyers. Reuters also reported that the U.S. Treasury Secretary told reporters at the White House: "We have told countries that if you buy Iranian oil, if [Islamic Republic] Iran's money is in your banks, we are now prepared to impose secondary sanctions." The maritime blockade of the Islamic Republic by the United States began on Monday as the war entered its seventh week. China previously purchased more than 80 percent of Iran's oil shipped via tankers. Bessent said: "We believe that with this maritime blockade... Chinese purchases [from Iran] will stop." @VahidHeadline These actions come after the U.S. issued a 30-day exemption for Iranian oil exports at sea; an exemption that, according to Bessent, resulted in approximately 140 million barrels of Iranian oil entering the global market. He confirmed that this exemption, issued on March 20 and expiring on April 19, will not be extended. Meanwhile, the United States has also not extended a similar exemption for Russian oil. Reports also indicate that the U.S. Treasury Department has sent letters to countries including China, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, warning about the activities of banks that Washington says are linked to Iran's illegal transactions. In another part of these developments, the U.S. Treasury Secretary announced that Washington has asked Persian Gulf countries to freeze assets linked to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders and members of Iran's ruling establishment. @VahidOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
