—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: President Trump says he will no longer bomb Iran tonight, and announces that a framework for negotiations with Iran has been approved by both sides

@Middle_East_Spectator

Sources confirm that a draft was finalized during the presence of a Qatari delegation in Tehran yesterday.

Note, this was before the U.S. strikes took place. And the presence of a finalized ‘draft’ framework does not mean Iran’s Leader has approved it.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency:

‘Trump has claimed 38 times recently that a deal is imminent, so until there is an official announcement by Iran, his claims should simply be viewed within the context of his previous lies.’

— 🇮🇷 A message from an Iranian soldier stationed on one of Iran’s islands in the Persian Gulf:

‘Tell the Iranian people that we have come here to die. If the American enemy sets foot on this pure island, we will fight with everything we have.

Politics and negotiation are not important to us, we know only one thing and that is sacrifice, sacrifice for Iran and the Iranian people.

The conditions here are a little difficult, especially now that temperatures have gone up and at night we are lonely and away from our family and these bombs that are eating away at us, but we still remember the scene of the martyrdom of thousands of our compatriots.

We will protect this land with tooth and nail. We will sacrifice our lives for you.’

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei:

‘The matters raised about the agreement are only speculation, and nothing has been finalized.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is more insecure due to U.S. actions.

So far, Iran has not reached a final conclusion about the agreement’

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: Explosions heard in Sirik, southern Iran

Some say it’s possibly related to the launch of anti-ship missiles or drones towards the Strait of Hormuz.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇦🇪/🇮🇷 NEW: An American F-35 squawked 7700 general emergency code in the UAE

@Middle_East_Spectator

Landed now, the emergency happened shortly after takeoff.

I don’t think it’s related to any anti-aircraft fire from Iran, the distance is too big. Likely a mechanical issue.

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: Two explosions were heard in Bandar Abbas

@Middle_East_Spectator

Again related to the Strait of Hormuz.
