Iranian Soldier Delivers Defiant Message From Strait of Hormuz An Iranian soldier stationed near the Strait of Hormuz has drawn widespread attention after declaring that control of the strategic waterway belongs to the men serving on the front lines, not politicians in Tehran or Washington. Standing near what he described as the closest point to the mouth of the strait, he said, “Behind me is the Strait of Hormoz: The closest point to the mouth of the strait. This is our Persian Gulf. We are still here, in 55 degree humid heat, standing with our flesh, blood, and soul, far from our wives and children, and we will never abandon this place.” He also challenged political leaders, stating, “We are the ones who decide who passes through here, not the suit-wearers in Tehran sitting under air conditioners, and not those in Washington. We are here, and we say who goes and who comes.” The soldier vowed that the sacrifices of fallen comrades would not be forgotten and urged the public to remain engaged, arguing that the military and the people must stand together. In his strongest remarks, he declared, “We have stood here until the last drop of our blood. As long as every one of us, the boys of the IRGC and the Army, are here, no one has the right to pass through. We will not make ourselves indebted to the blood of the boys and girls of Minab, and we will not allow their blood to be trampled. People, stay in the field. Stay in the streets. We are here. If you do not abandon the streets, we will not abandon this place either. Rest assured. By God, we are not regretful. By God, none of us is upset that we have been standing here for 100 days now. I am saying this: with our flesh and soul, with our blood, and as long as there is blood in our veins, we will stand here. And we will firmly defend this Gulf and the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, by the permission of Lady Fatimah Zahra, and by the permission of my leader, Imam Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei. The traitors to the homeland should know: we are here as long as there is life in our bodies.”

Stew Peters: “71 underage Jewish schoolgirls in New York ‘got lost’ on a field trip and ended up in a sewer tunnel. This is the exact same tribe that was digging tunnels under the streets of NYC and filling them with high chairs and stained mattresses. None of this adds up.”

Netanyahu Says Israel Will Not Retreat From Gaza or Lebanon Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making it clear that Israel has no intention of ending its military presence in key areas until its security objectives are met, a position that could put him on a collision course with efforts to secure a broader regional peace agreement. Speaking about the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, Netanyahu said, "We do not leave as long as Israel’s security arrangements are not in place," indicating that Israeli forces will remain deployed until the government believes long term security conditions have been achieved.

Benjamin Netanyahu: If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone.

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei: "As you have learned, a memorandum of understanding has been signed between the presidents of Iran and the US. Of course, it was the President of the US who, out of desperation, resorted to various forms of pressure and leverage to bring about this agreement. As a matter of principle, I held a different view. However, in light of the commitment that the respected President — acting as the head of the Supreme National Security Council — gave to me on behalf of himself and the other members regarding the safeguarding of the rights of the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front, and having explicitly accepted responsibility for it, I authorized it. It is evident, however, that any face-to-face negotiations that may take place in the future should not be interpreted as acceptance of the enemy's viewpoint."

Vice president JD Vance: “If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have left 2/3 of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.”

US President Trump: "The US is committed to peace, and we encourage everyone in the Middle East region to maintain their commitment to allowing our negotiations to beautifully unfold. The markets are loving what is happening with oil prices way down, and stocks way up. We expect a complete ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel."

Netanyahu Reportedly Working Behind the Scenes to Shape U.S. Iran Deal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly stepping up efforts to influence the final U.S. Iran agreement by rallying conservative media figures and pro Israel lawmakers to pressure President Donald Trump. According to CNN, Netanyahu has amplified criticism of the deal through commentators such as Mark Levin and has been lobbying senators traditionally aligned with Israel's position. However, some former critics of the agreement, including Lindsey Graham, have recently expressed support for the deal. The report also says Netanyahu has informed Trump that Israel does not consider itself bound by the agreement's requirement for an immediate and permanent end to the war in Lebanon, setting up a potential clash as negotiations move toward a final stage.
