🇮🇷 BREAKING! Fars News Agency reports from Bandar Abbas that residents of Qeshm Island, parts of Sirik, and Jask have reported hearing explosions in recent minutes. Fars correspondents, citing informed sources, say the sounds were warning shots fired at vessels violating the restricted zone in the Strait of Hormuz. Provincial sources rule out any explosions caused by direct impact at the three locations. ℹ️Following the US strike on Iranian territory two days ago, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command declared all transit through the Strait of Hormuz prohibited, warning that violating vessels would be targeted. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇮🇩🛢 Mass protests erupt across Indonesia after gasoline prices jumped more than 30% overnight. Pertamax, the country's most popular fuel, rose from 12,300 to 16,250 rupiah per liter (+32%) on June 10, with subsidized Pertalite up 30% as well. Crowds have filled the streets of Jakarta, with motorcycle taxi drivers and students out in force. Fuel hikes have brought down governments here before. The 1998 price riots ended Suharto's 31-year rule. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇱 Watching this on repeat... 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Araghchi on the nuclear issue: "Our position has always been that the highly enriched material — in particular the 20% material — if it is to be settled, the only method is dilution, inside Iran. We are trying to have this referenced in the accord — the solution will lie in this direction." No shipping the stockpile abroad. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

• Fwd from @ 📝Are Turks helping in AFU attacks?📝 at Russia's borders in the Black Sea Strikes in the Black Sea zone have been ongoing for several days. As usual, Crimea, Sevastopol, and Krasnodar Region are under fire. What makes Turkish reconnaissance aircraft flights particularly curious is that they are experimental. Southwest of Sochi, since June 2, a series of test flights of the electronic reconnaissance and electronic warfare aircraft HAVA SOJ have been conducted. And the area of their operations is especially interesting — just a couple of hundred kilometers from Russia.

🔻How and when did it fly? ▪️The aircraft is designed to detect, classify, and suppress enemy radar stations, air defense systems, and communications equipment at considerable distances. ▪️Since early June, the HAVA SOJ aircraft has completed a series of flights on June 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10, with two sorties recorded on the last two days. ▪️Takeoffs were conducted from the Turkish Air Force base at Merzifon, after which the aircraft proceeded to the waters of the southeastern Black Sea. ▪️Officially, the stated purpose is to check onboard equipment and test new capabilities of the system.

🖍What is particularly telling is that the tests are not taking place somewhere deep within Turkish territory, but in close proximity to the Russian-Abkhazian border, through which Ukrainian drone routes have passed more than once. 🚩Moreover, the Turkish aircraft sorties occurred on the eve of strikes on Russian facilities in the Black Sea region. And precisely in the morning hours immediately after drone attacks and before new strikes. ❗️Therefore, the Turks could well have killed two birds with one stone: on the one hand, test their aircraft against Russian air defense, and on the other, assist Ukrainian formations in targeting and assessing the results of attacks. 📍High-resolution map 📍English version #Russia #Turkey 🗻 @caucasar – don't look down on the Caucasus 💸Support us Original msg

🚨 The FIFA World Cup is being hosted by the United States. Iran's team is training in Mexico. 13 delegation members have no visas. Their ticket allocation was cancelled without explanation. They must enter, play and leave the same day. The FIFA Epstein Cup. That's what this is. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Araghchi on the money in the deal: "Once the memorandum is signed, our assets will be released — and none of our assets can be frozen again. That is entirely clear. For the reconstruction of the damage inflicted on Iran, an economic plan has been laid out in this accord. Considerable resources will be injected into Iran's economy through this." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Araghchi details how the new Hormuz regime will work: "A legal regime must be established, in accordance with international law. We have studied this thoroughly: levying tolls is not accepted — but charging for services is. The services provided from now on will no longer be free of charge." He said Oman is the "principal partner," with a joint program and joint statements to be announced soon, and that consultations have begun with China, which he claimed accounts for the great majority of the strait's traffic. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇷🇺🇸 FM Araghchi announces the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be run as before: "The entire strait lies within the territorial waters of Iran and Oman — no international waters lie between them. For years this waterway has been open to all ships, with security, safe passage, rescue services all provided free of charge. The Strait of Hormuz will no longer be as it was. Our sovereignty has always existed, exists now, and will always exist — no one can cast doubt on it." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Araghchi on what guarantees the deal: "If the agreements of the first stage are not honored, we will not proceed to the second stage. That in itself creates a guarantee. We must expect all manner of difficulties — with this memorandum, and with the final agreement, if we get there. They use every opportunity to break their word." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Araghchi on what the war built: "For our security we rely on no one — not the Security Council, not coalitions or alliances. Only God, our own people, and our own armed forces. We have proven this in practice to such a degree that we've built a complete deterrence for years to come. No one will think of attacking Iran again." He added that no one expected Iran to widen the war across the region. Despite American bases everywhere, "they could not stand against us." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Araghchi, on the threats coming from Washington: "Whatever they want to see happen, they put in the mouths of others. Don't pay much attention. If we were ever going to bend to force and pressure, we'd have bent long ago. If you want to reach an understanding — the language must change. If you want to go down the road of threats, pressure and war: we are ready, and we will go." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Araghchi reveals the structure of the MOU: A two-stage process. 1. The 14-point "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding" — signed between Iran and America. 2. The final agreement, covers the nuclear file and the lifting of sanctions — with 18 days of negotiation allotted. The nuclear issue was deliberately deferred: "Their demands were in no way acceptable. So we brought issues on which agreement was possible." 🇱🇧🇱🇧 "The end of the war will be declared on all fronts — including Lebanon. Hezbollah fought alongside the Iranian people, and we will never leave them alone." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising

🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING! Iran's FM Araghchi confirms a 14-point memorandum of understanding is near finalization: "We set in motion a process that is now drawing close to its end. The result is a fourteen-point memorandum of understanding… it has not yet been signed, and until the very last moment things may still shift. Once it is done, I will come and explain every point to the people." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics | Socials | Donate | Advertising
