The fact that Iranian officials still haven’t issued any statement on the ceasefire or replied to Trump, is slightly annoying yet somehow also very funny.

I guess Araqchi, Qalibaf, Pezeshkian and the rest of the gang are all sleeping. So I probably should too.

Iran replied that it would not attend any new round of talks before the U.S. naval blockade is fully lifted.

‘Trump is willing to give another three to five days of ceasefire to allow the Iranians to get their shit together’, a U.S. official said.

— The USS H.W. Bush carrier arrives in 3-5 days.

Trump says he’s giving Iran ‘about three to five days’ to negotiate.

Do the math.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Contrary to reports, Iran has not yet issued any official statement accepting the U.S. extension of the ceasefire.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry: ‘We currently have no plans to negotiate’

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Satellite imagery shows a huge swarm of 33 fast attack boats belonging to the IRGC Navy returning to the coast after patrolling in the Strait of Hormuz

This contradicts Trump’s claims that Iran’s navy has been ‘completely and utterly destroyed’.

These attack boats likely took part today in attacking three vessels, and seizing two of them.

"A Greek-affiliated cargo ship was attacked by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz.

It remains unclear whether the vessel has been seized following the attack".

@TheWarReporter

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf:

‘A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by the maritime blockade and the hostage-taking of the world’s economy, and if the Zionist warmongering across all fronts is halted; reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with such a flagrant breach of the ceasefire.

They did not achieve their goals through military aggression, nor will they through bullying. The only way forward is to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation.’

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

‘Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed.

Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison.

I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP’
