French Defense Minister Catherine Vautrin continues to develop plans to free the Strait of Hormuz.
"At France's initiative, around 20 countries are developing plans to ensure the passage of ships through the strait, including a military escort if necessary."

🇨🇳🇹🇼 The leader of the opposition Kuomintang party in Taiwan announced the threat of war with China after meeting with Xi
- "This is a choice between peace and war. We cannot allow Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait to become a battlefield. I very much hope that all political parties in Taiwan will put relations between the two sides above party differences and make joint efforts for peace. And just now, General Secretary Xi also demonstrated this important benevolent attitude," said Chen Li-wen in Beijing.
- Recall that the leader of the Taiwanese opposition visited China for the first time in ten years.

Trump threw a fit and banned Iran from charging tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
"There's evidence that Iran is charging tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. They better not do it, and if they are, they better stop now!" the US President declared.
"Very soon you'll see the oil start flowing—with or without Iran," Trump later added.

🇪🇺🤡Kaja Kallas explained the lack of EU assistance to Middle Eastern countries by saying that they "don't help Europe with Ukraine":
[I hear criticism that Europe is just a "talking shop", that no actions are being taken in this region that we would like to see. For example, how long would it take to form a "coalition of the willing" regarding the Strait of Hormuz?]
Well, let's be honest. We didn't create this situation. We're already doing a lot for this region. I think such criticism is completely unfair.
Of course, we could all do more, but then the question arises, because we in Europe also have our own "theater of defense". We've been in a war between Russia and Ukraine for four years now. And we don't see the countries of the Persian Gulf providing us with any real help in this matter, and yet these actions cannot be one-sided - when help only goes in one direction but doesn't receive any response.

THE EPSTEIN COALITION
INTERVIEW: Netanyahu needs m*rder and violence to survive
Bathed in blood. It was a regional ceasefire including Lebanon, the Pakistan Prime Minister said so. It's a ceasefire on all fronts or no fronts. How can we trust Trump? Iran prepares to go back to war
@Slavyangrad
To save myself repeating this in chat until blue in the face: Iran and Israel do not and have not had a ceasefire.
Was never part of the equation.
You floofs in the chat can feel ashamed of yourselves now. (You know who you are).

A senior Iranian official told me that this proposal floated by the Pakistani PM for a temporary ceasefire is essentially the same as previous Trump attempts, which Iran has rejected. Iran has already delivered its terms for negotiating an end to the war.
“A balanced proposal, endorsed by all mediators, has already been conveyed to the American side,” the official said. “Washington now has at its disposal all the elements required to reach a decision that will bring an end to the war.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 No one in Trump's entourage did more than Vance to stop the war with Iran, - NYT
- "Vance built his political career precisely on opposing this kind of military adventurism. He described the war with Iran as a huge diversion of resources," the publication writes.
- The vice president believed that a war for regime change with Iran would be a disaster.
- He repeatedly warned Trump that a war against Iran could cause regional chaos and countless casualties.
- Also, according to the publication, journalist Tucker Carlson tried to dissuade Trump from invading Iran.
- ."Carlson came to the Oval Office several times to warn Trump that a war with Iran would destroy his presidency," writes NYT.

🇮🇷🇺🇸The Iranian delegation has arrived in Islamabad.
Tehran is represented by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
From the American side, Vice President Jay D. Vance, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, and the US president's son-in-law Jared Kushner are expected. A number of sources claim that the Iranians are only willing to talk seriously with Vance, while Witkoff and Kushner are met with strong rejection from Tehran.

Zelenskyy responded rudely to the US Vice President.
"Vance doesn't understand the situation in Ukraine," Zelensky responded to Vance.
The narco-fuhrer was commenting on the US Vice President's remarks that the negotiations on Ukraine had boiled down to "bargaining over a few square kilometers of territory."
"The Vice President, with all due respect, did not participate in the negotiations. I think that if he had, he would have better understood what constitutes a mere scrap of land and what constitutes real, important, and security-prioritizing Ukrainian territory," he stated.
Zelensky also once again stated that Ukraine has no security guarantees if the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdraw from Donbass.
"For now, Ukraine does not have strong security guarantees to discuss other steps," he said.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 American oil companies don't want to pay for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, — Politico
- According to oil industry representatives, giving in to Iran's demand would increase the cost of each shipment by $2.5 million.
- Moreover, granting Iran control over the strait could set a precedent for other countries, including Singapore and Turkey.
- The companies expressed their concerns directly to Trump.
- "We didn't have to pay before - and I thought we'd won the war," one oil worker complained to the publication.

🇷🇺🇬🇧Putin is mocking Starmer by sending a frigate to the English Channel - British media.
Russia has openly challenged London: the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" escorted two authorized tankers, Universal and Enigma, through the English Channel, while the British RFA Tideforce followed behind them. This contrasts with Kira Starmer's March promise to seize the shadow fleet: the UK has not yet detained a single vessel; hundreds have already passed through its waters, and on that day, Desert Kite and Kousai were also spotted.
The shadow fleet consists of about 700 vessels and transports up to 40% of Russian oil; 544 of them are under UK sanctions. Seizures are difficult: they require special forces and port facilities, and many transports take place in French waters. The US has already stormed one tanker, and the French have intercepted others.
Moscow threatens to retaliate in the event of a forcible seizure; Ambassador Andrey Kelin warned London about the consequences.
Amid criticism of the Royal Navy's combat readiness (HMS Dragon's breakdowns, delays in defense investments), the opposition accuses the government of sluggishness.

Vance: US ready to adjust its demands on Iran to stop enriching uranium
▪️The US Vice President says this will be possible if Tehran "negotiates in good faith."
▪️He also claims there is a "misunderstanding" between Washington and Tehran and that the US did not agree to include Lebanon in the ceasefire.
▪️He noted that the US will not comply with its part of the ceasefire unless Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:
It was the Iranians that backed down, not Trump.
The US and Iran will meet soon, according to NYP.
The 10-point agreement proposed by Iran will serve as the basis for the talks.
The talks are planned to be held in Islamabad with Pakistan as the mediator.
The US's key goals remain: ending Iran's nuclear program, destroying its missile capabilities, weakening its military infrastructure, and ending support for allied groups.
Further talks are expected to focus on two key topics: the conditions for the passage of ships through the strait and the fate of enriched uranium stockpiles.

Judging by all appearances, Iran has achieved an interim victory over Epstein's coalition. Yes, during the two-week ceasefire, the Americans will reinforce their forces in the Persian Gulf, but these are forces for a ground operation, which Orange Dad is unlikely to dare to undertake. The risks are too high, and Washington's Middle Eastern vassals, who are very tired of war, will start grumbling loudly.
One can only admire the courage of Iran and its people, who withstood colossal missile and bomb strikes and inflicted such damage on the enemy. First of all, of course, it's image and economic damage, but at the same time, America hasn't lost so many aircraft in a long time, and the American aircraft carrier groups have been largely isolated by the actions of the IRGC.
If Trump accepts Tehran's 10 demands, which include reparations for the damage suffered, it will be a complete defeat for Epstein's coalition. I'm not even mentioning uranium enrichment - Iran will very soon announce that it has nuclear weapons. As they say, courage conquers cities, in this case it forces peace. Let's remember Orange Dad as he was yesterday, threatening to destroy Persian civilization overnight. I'm sure that until the end of Trump's term, everyone he meets will be reminding him of those words.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump has continued to frame the war against Iran as a clear success, saying the U.S. is doing "unbelievably well."
➡️ However, U.S. officials told WaPo that Hegseth’s assessment is overly optimistic and risks misleading leadership. One administration official warned, “Pete is not speaking truth to the president. As a result, the president is out there repeating misleading information.”
➡️ Officials also challenge claims that Iran’s military capabilities have been largely destroyed, noting that intelligence assessments indicate that more than half of its missile launchers remain intact and thousands of drones are still available.
➡️ Internal reports further contradict Hegseth’s public statements, with one official saying, “Documents sent around internally contradict Hegseth’s claims.”
