Iran's parliamentary speaker Ghalibaf (the chief negotiator from the Iranian delegation):
A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it's not disrupted by a maritime blockade and the hostage-taking of the global economy, and if the Zionist warlike policies are halted on all fronts; the reopening of the Hormuz Strait is impossible under such a blatant violation of the ceasefire regime.
They haven't achieved their goals through military aggression, and they won't succeed through intimidation either. The only way forward is recognizing the rights of the Iranian nation.

The White House has compiled a list of 'disobedient' NATO allies — Politico
The list includes countries that refused to back the U.S. in the conflict with Iran. According to the publication, American officials themselves aren't entirely clear on how exactly they plan to penalize the 'bad' allies.
As noted by one European official: "They seem to have no clear ideas when it comes to punishing bad allies. Moving troops is one option, but that mainly punishes the U.S. itself, doesn't it?"
Already on this list are Spain, France, and Britain — these countries either declined assistance or delayed its provision. $ONT $AXL $AERO
US freezes $500 million in Iraqi funds to pressure Iran — WSJ
The Trump administration has applied economic leverage against Iran through Iraq. According to The Wall Street Journal, the US has cut off cash dollar supplies to Iraq and frozen military aid programs. The reason is Baghdad's refusal to dismantle pro-Iranian armed groups operating in the country.
The US Treasury has blocked the transfer of nearly $500 million that Iraq received from oil sales. In addition, Washington has suspended funding for counter-terrorism programs and military training for Iraqi forces.
Trump's Ultimatum: Iran Must Come Back to the Negotiating Table in Just Days
Axios reporters, citing American officials, say Washington has issued Tehran a short-term ultimatum. Iran has only a few days to decide on resuming dialogue. Donald Trump is ready to make a concession — extending the ceasefire for another three to five days. This should give the Iranians a chance to 'get their affairs in order'.
The main intrigue, according to the publication, lies in the deep internal conflict within Iran itself. Following the death of Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, reportedly killed by Israel, there has been an 'absolute split' between the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the country's political leadership. The appointed successor, Mohammad Baqer Zolghadr, according to Axios, is struggling to coordinate these two power centers.
Against this backdrop, Trump, according to American diplomats, has made a strategic decision: to exit the war. Military methods, in his view, have already exhausted themselves, and further use of force is impractical. $CHIP $FLUID $ENJ
Iran has taken aim at another vessel in the Hormuz Strait, according to the UK's Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).

The International Monetary Fund has warned that the world is heading towards a historic debt crisis. According to their data, global government debt stands at 94% of global GDP, and it could rise to 102% by 2031.
Canada showed the lowest GDP growth rates among major countries. Its results are worse than Germany's over the decade. Germany did almost everything possible to destroy its economy - blew up nuclear power plants and coal stations, refused oil and gas from Russia, surrendered technology to China, and brought millions of Africans, Afghans, Syrians, and Ukrainians onto social benefits. But how did Canada manage to surpass this?
Pavel Durov reported that Italian (like French) banks can permanently block an account without proper reason. This is how he responded to a journalist who mentioned that people were left without bank accounts after the investigation into the dealings of French President Macron.
American blogger Nick Fuentes from the USA spoke about a similar problem. According to him, the federal government also blocked his bank account with 483,592 dollars. Only those hired with State Department money who fight corruption in Russia or China are working without issues.
The blockade of Iranian ports is an act of war and a violation of the ceasefire, said the head of Iran's Foreign Ministry.
"A strike on a commercial vessel and the taking of its crew hostage is an even more serious violation," writes Araqchi. "Iran knows how to neutralize restrictions, how to protect its interests, and how to resist intimidation," he adds. $AIXBT $COAI $EDU
Turkey is becoming the new enemy of Israel, and in a few weeks, of the European Union as well.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: "We must complete the formation of the European continent so that it does not fall under the influence of Russia, Turkey, or China." This statement shocked the five million Turks living in Europe. Moreover, Turkey has been a candidate for EU membership for many years, and now suddenly it is an enemy.
