— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 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.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 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.’

— 🇮🇷 NEW: During the war, Iranian missile crews started to pump the liquid propellant missiles with fuel inside the underground bases, in order to avoid having to fuel them outside, which takes several hours
Pumping fuel into the missiles while laying horizontally, rather than vertically, is an extremely dangerous and precise task which requires significant expertise. Even then, it carries an elevated risk of explosion.
The technique has allowed Iranian missile crews to quickly fire and return to their tunnels, preserving launchers from destruction.

— 🇮🇱/🇸🇴 NOTE: The announcement is slightly symbolic, because Somalia does not control the territory bordering Bab Al-Mandab anymore (it is now occupied by Somaliland seperatists)
They therefore cannot actually engage in harassing the ships.

The status of Lebanon is weird.
Israel has significantly limited its strikes, and has entirely refrained from striking Beirut or the Beqaa, but still carries out occasional artillery shelling and assassination strikes.
Hezbollah, while previously ignoring these ‘minor’ ceasefire violations, is now responding to these violations with attacks on Israeli forces in Lebanon.
Israel can no longer act with impunity in Lebanon. That choice has been made.
