The European Union asked Ukraine to repair the Druzhba oil pipeline, which the Russians damaged. We repaired it.

Now we are waiting for the unblocking of €90 billion for two years.

Blockading Iranian ports is an act of war and thus a violation of the ceasefire.

Striking a commercial vessel and taking its crew hostage is an even greater violation.

Iran knows how to neutralize restrictions, how to defend its interests, and how to resist bullying.

Lasting stabilization of Lebanon and the region will only be possible through an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, the disarmament of Hezbollah by the Lebanese themselves with the support of the international community, and the reconstruction of Lebanon—particularly southern Lebanon—to allow the return of all displaced people.

This also requires that Hezbollah, which I remind you made a major strategic mistake by dragging Lebanon into war, stop targeting Israel and stop claiming to substitute itself for the state in exercising its prerogatives.

It also requires that Israel abandon its territorial ambitions and understand that the condition of its security is a strong Lebanese state, not a policy of chaos.

Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.

I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.

Trump's ceasefire extension means nothing. The losing side cannot dictate terms. The continuation of the siege is no different from bombardment and must be met with a military response.

Moreover, Trump's ceasefire extension is certainly a ploy to buy time for a surprise strike.

The time for Iran to take the initiative has come.

Our capable and powerful forces have long been at 100% readiness and on the trigger, so that in the event of aggression or any action against Islamic Iran, they will immediately launch a powerful attack on predetermined targets and will teach the aggressive America and the child-killing Zionist regime a harsher lesson than before.

In light of President Trump’s Truth Social post confirming the United States is awaiting a unified proposal from the Iranians, the trip to Pakistan will not be happening today.

Any further updates on in-person meetings will be announced by the White House.

In a matter of days, Kharg Island storage will be full and the fragile Iranian oil wells will be shut in. Constraining Iran’s maritime trade directly targets the regime’s primary revenue lifelines.

We continue to freeze the funds stolen by the corrupt leadership on behalf of the people of Iran.

The continuation of the naval blockade means the continuation of hostility; Iran will not reopen at least the Strait of Hormuz as long as the naval blockade continues, and if necessary, it will break the blockade by force.
