Donald Trump, President of the United States, said the Islamic Republic has only about three days before oil transmission lines reach the point of explosion if the blockade continues and they remain unable to transfer oil to storage tanks or ships. He explained that when a massive volume of oil is flowing through transmission lines and there's no way to discharge it, internal pressure increases and this situation can lead to explosions both mechanically and underground. Donald Trump added that if such an explosion occurs, rebuilding the lines to their previous state won't be possible, and even if rebuilt, their capacity would reach at most about 50 percent of current levels. @ VahidOOnLine Donald Trump, President of the United States, said the war against the Islamic Republic will end very soon and the United States will achieve a "great victory." He emphasized that the Islamic Republic must be prevented from obtaining nuclear weapons, because otherwise "the entire world will be in danger." Donald Trump added that if Iran obtains such weapons, Israel will be destroyed within minutes, which is why Tehran cannot be allowed to achieve military nuclear capability. The US President said preventing this process was an action that, according to him, previous presidents should have taken years ago. He added that this issue has been going on for "40 or 47 years" and no one has done anything about it. Donald Trump said the United States was forced to change course and prevent this from happening, emphasizing: "We have done great work." @ VahidOOnLine Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced in an interview with Fox News that Washington will not send a delegation to negotiate with the Islamic Republic and these talks can be conducted via phone calls. Trump also stated that the main condition for any agreement is for Tehran to abandon nuclear weapons, saying otherwise "there's no reason to meet." @ VahidOOnLine Donald Trump, President of the United States, said he hopes the Islamic Republic will act rationally and added that if Tehran wants to negotiate about ending the war between the two countries, it can call the United States by phone. @ VahidOOnLine The US President also expressed satisfaction with changes in Iran's leadership, emphasizing that the people who are now negotiating partners are "less radical" than the previous group. He said: "Some of the people we're dealing with now are very reasonable, and some are not. They don't get along with each other." @ VahidOOnLine Trump also, referring to the recent military battle with Iran, emphasized that US military forces have completely destroyed the Islamic Republic's air and naval capabilities. He noted that all of Iran's defense equipment and radar systems have been demolished, missile-manufacturing facilities have been 75 percent damaged, and Iran's drone capabilities have suffered 80 to 82 percent damage. @ VahidOOnLine Donald Trump, President of the United States, responding to a question about the possibility of China helping the Islamic Republic, said he doesn't think this assistance is very extensive, though Beijing might be helping. He said: "I don't think it's very much. Maybe they're helping, but not much. I can say that they could have helped much more. I'm not very disappointed." The US President also said the United States helps others too, and responding to the fact that some might ask about China or Russia's role, he added: "We help too." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Iranian media reported on Sunday that Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, on Sunday evening. He had also met with senior officials of this country on Saturday and then traveled to Oman. IRNA news agency says Araghchi went to Pakistan's capital after a one-day trip to Oman. Araghchi's return to Islamabad comes as on Saturday, Donald Trump, the US President, canceled his representatives' trip to Pakistan and said that if Iran wants a deal, it can contact his administration. This move by Trump has dimmed hopes for forming an agreement between the US and Iran. He later said that after canceling this trip, Iran offered a "better proposal" for a deal, but this proposal is also not "sufficient" in his view. Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic's Foreign Minister announced on his Telegram channel that he had a phone conversation with his Saudi counterpart. The statement said that Abbas Araghchi and Faisal bin Farhan discussed "the latest regional developments and ongoing diplomatic processes." @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The Nursing Organization issued a statement announcing that despite authorities offering to provide "Pro Internet" access to the organization's members due to international internet access restrictions caused by wartime conditions, it will not request any special privileges for its members until internet access restrictions are lifted for the general public. "Pro Internet" is the name the Islamic Republic uses for class-based internet access for specific groups. This is similar to what was previously allocated to journalists and became known as "white SIM cards." @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Shargh newspaper has reported that as nearly 60 days have passed since the widespread internet blackout, the Islamic Republic is transforming the internet from a public and civic right into a purchasable privilege. Shargh has reported the approval of "Pro Internet" by governing institutions and emphasized that this plan has been approved by higher authorities under new names such as "Pro Internet" and "Sustainable Internet," with its implementation assigned to the National Cyberspace Center. The newspaper has described this process as "quiet and without fanfare" and considers it a sign of a structural change in the government's approach to the internet. According to this report, even among Pro Internet holders, access levels are not equal. A knowledge-based company manager said he only has access to services related to his work and cannot use filtered social networks, while a university professor said he has no restrictions. Shargh considers these experiences as signs of classification within classification. The report states that every business must send a request letter and user information to a committee formed by order of the Supreme National Security Council to receive Pro Internet. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Donald Trump, the US President, emphasized that Washington will not allow the Islamic Republic to obtain nuclear weapons. He said that if Iran acquires such weapons, "all other threats will pale in comparison" and added that Tehran would "undoubtedly use them" if it possessed nuclear weapons. Trump, referring to his discussion with Marco Rubio on this matter, once again stressed the necessity of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and said: "We cannot allow such a thing to happen." The US President also stated that the recent incident will not deter him from "victory in the war with Iran." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Donald Trump, when asked whether this incident has any connection to the war with Iran, said: "I don't think so, but you can never say with certainty. We'll find out a lot of things soon. The best people in the world are working on this and we'll get a lot of information." @VahidHeadline Donald Trump, President of the United States, said about the shooting at the White House press banquet that this event was very unexpected, but the Secret Service and law enforcement forces responded "incredibly." He emphasized that this ceremony was dedicated to free speech and the Constitution, and the incident that occurred united those present. Trump announced that an armed man with multiple weapons attacked the security checkpoint and according to him "assaulted the Constitution," but was quickly taken down by Secret Service agents. He said for transparency he ordered the release of video footage of this incident to show both the attacker's violence and the speed of the security forces' response. The US President also said a Secret Service agent was targeted at close range with a powerful weapon, but his bulletproof vest saved his life and he is in good condition. Trump added this is not the first time in the past two years that a Republican has been targeted for assassination, referring to incidents in Butler, Pennsylvania and Palm Beach, Florida. He asked Americans to resolve political differences peacefully and said this ceremony will be held again. @VahidOnline Donald Trump said this ceremony will be held again on another date and added that this incident has been "a shocking experience" for Melania Trump. He said: "We won't let anyone take over our society." Mr. Trump also added that initially he had no desire to leave the venue: "I tried very hard to stay," but he was advised to leave the location according to protocol, as it was unclear whether there was only one shooter or not. @VahidHeadline Donald Trump said that before the sound of gunfire was heard, he was ready to deliver his speech at this banquet. He added: "I was completely ready to speak really tough and I told my team if I do this, it will be the most inappropriate speech I've ever given." Trump said: "I don't know if I could have been as tough as I intended to be tonight." About the ceremony that will be held at another time, he said: "I'll probably speak very politely and gently. Next time I might be very boring too, but we'll have a good ceremony." @VahidHeadline Donald Trump, responding to a reporter's question about the reason for attempts to assassinate him, said he has examined this issue and believes people usually target those who have "made the greatest impact." He referenced Abraham Lincoln, the assassinated US president, saying usually "great figures" are targeted. Mr. Trump added: "I don't like saying this, but I feel honored by it," and said his administration has done many things for the country, but some people are dissatisfied with this. @VahidHeadline Donald Trump, referring to a large hall being built at the White House, said this incident demonstrates the necessity of such a space. @VahidHeadline The mayor of Washington DC said the agent who was shot is being treated at the hospital and the suspect has also been hospitalized for evaluation. He also said there is no reason to indicate that another person was involved in this incident. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Following an incident during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, Donald Trump's Secret Service agents removed him from the venue. Reports indicate that he and his wife are in complete safety. Meanwhile, after reports emerged of a shooting on one of the upper floors of the Washington Hilton Hotel - where the ceremony was being held - the building evacuation process has begun. A Fox News anchor announced that it doesn't appear the gunshots came from inside the main ceremony hall. So far, no reports have been released regarding possible injuries to those present at the dinner. CNN also reported that members of the US government cabinet are safe. @VahidOOnLine Saturday night, April 25th, the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Washington "Hilton" hotel turned into a scene of terror and chaos when gunshots were fired. Just as Donald Trump and his wife Melania had entered the hall, the sound of several consecutive shots caused Secret Service agents to quickly remove the president from the scene. Along with the evacuation of senior officials including JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio, armed special guard forces with full equipment entered the hall and positioned themselves on stage. Video footage released from inside the hall shows reporters and distinguished guests taking shelter under tables amid shouts of "Get on the ground!" Eyewitnesses reported hearing 5 to 8 gunshots near the CBS reporters' table. Although initial reports indicate one suspect has been arrested, no details have yet been released about the shooter's exact motive or potential casualties. The White House announced that the president and his companions are in good condition and have been moved to a secure location. @VahidOOnLine The shooting incident at the official correspondents' dinner in Washington with the US president, which occurred Saturday night, April 25th, ended with the arrest of the attacker, the injury of one security officer, and the disruption of the ceremony. The shooting occurred during Donald Trump's presence at the annual media celebration in Washington on Saturday evening. This was the first time Trump had attended this dinner since becoming president in 2016. The gunman, later identified as Cole Thomas Allen, 31, a teacher with an address in California, was arrested in an inspection area just outside the hotel hall where hundreds of guests had gathered. According to CNN, the attacker had entered the ceremony as a guest at the hotel near the White House. As Donald Trump was quickly removed from the scene and security teams moved through the invited groups at the official White House Correspondents' Association dinner, chaotic scenes unfolded and people took shelter under tables. This incident occurred during the annual White House correspondents' dinner in Washington, after the welcome speech and at the beginning of dinner service, before Trump's speech was scheduled to begin. It appears Trump administration officials were evacuated first, and there's still uncertainty about what exactly happened. Organizers initially told guests that the White House Correspondents' Association dinner would continue despite the incident, but then announced the ceremony had been postponed. @VahidHeadline Update: The US President confirmed minutes ago that there was a shooting at the 2026 White House Correspondents' Association dinner ceremony. Mr. Trump wrote in a message on the Truth Social network: "A special night in Washington D.C. The Secret Service and law enforcement did an extraordinary job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been arrested." He said "I suggested that we allow the ceremony to continue, but the decision will be entirely based on law enforcement's opinion." Mr. Trump added: "They will decide soon. Regardless of that decision, the night will be very different from what was planned and we'll have to hold it again." @VahidHeadline Another Trump post, machine translation: Law enforcement, according to protocol, has asked us to leave the premises and we will do so immediately. I will hold a press conference in the White House press room in 30 minutes. The First Lady, along with the Vice President and all cabinet members, are in complete safety. We will speak with you in half an hour. I have spoken with all representatives responsible for this event and this program will be rescheduled within the next 30 days. President Donald J.
