IRAN HAS CLOSED THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AGAIN AFTER ISRAEL BOMBED LEBANON. The IRGC Navy warns that NO vessel should attempt to cross. Iran says the Strait will remain CLOSED until Israel withdraws from Lebanon, the naval blockade is fully lifted, and U.S. forces leave the Persian Gulf and the region. The IRGC is broadcasting a warning on maritime frequencies: “The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these conditions are met.” “Any vessel that defies this directive will be TARGETED.” The move comes after Israeli strikes on Southern Lebanon and Israel’s refusal to withdraw from Lebanese territory.

President of South Korea, Lee Jae-myung: Unfortunately, the reality is that all communication channels with North Korea have been cut off. Now, North Korea claims that we are the most hostile state in the world. We are no longer a single national community. We are two hostile states. Even the emergency communication lines have been completely disconnected.

🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇱🇧 If Israel does not implement an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and stop its advances along all sectors, Iran will consider withdrawing from the Memorandum of Understanding

🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency: ‘The Iranian delegation’s meeting with the U.S. in Geneva is postponed, until there is a ceasefire in Lebanon. Until that time, Iran will not unilaterally implement its committments of the MoU—until the U.S. does the same.’

A Huge Battle Ongoing With An Enormous Amount Of Israeli Casualties In South Lebanon Israel is advancing from three different routes towards the Ali al-Taher Hills area. 4 Israeli military vehicles completely destroyed, Hezbollah fires AD missiles at warplanes & bombards evacuation sites for the injured soldiers. Non-stop med-evac helicopter flights, as Hezbollah engages soldiers directly at zero distance while also throwing waves of rockets & artillery at the invading occupation forces.

Ayatollah Mojtaba Khameni In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To the passionate and loyal nation of Iran As you have been informed, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the presidents of Iran and the United States of America. In the course of reaching this stage, the officials in charge, out of sincere concern and goodwill, made extensive efforts—and of course, it was the American president who, out of desperation, used all kinds of leverage to bring this about. regarding the safeguarding of the rights of the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front, and his explicit acceptance of that responsibility, I granted my permission. He also explicitly stated that if the American side seeks to make excessive demands, they will not submit to them. From this moment on, we—that is, you, the proud nation, and this humble servant—will await the realization of the aforementioned conditions. However, it's self-evident that the in-person negotiations in the future will not mean acceptance of the enemy's position. We hope the blessed prayers of our Master (may God hasten his noble reappearance) will bring all kinds of victories & triumphs to honorable Iranian nation.

Chinese Foreign Ministry says cooperation with Iran will deepen "China and Iran are comprehensive strategic partners and will continue to advance their comprehensive strategic partnership ($400 billion)"

Luke Gromen says: With some comparing Trump's Iran deal to Obama's Iran deal, wanted to highlight this section of the 4/17/26 edition of Tree Rings showing Pres. Obama & Sec. State Kerry both saying NOT doing the Iran deal would threaten USD reserve status. That Obama & Kerry said this within 6 days of each other suggests they had received a talking point memo on the threat to USD reserve status.

Israel is still killing children in Gaza despite the ceasefire and it's no longer makes headlines.

🇮🇷 Engineering Breakthrough: Iran Builds One of Its Toughest Rail Links Iran has inaugurated the Mianeh–Ardabil railway, one of the most complex railway projects in the country due to its challenging mountainous route. Stretching 174 kilometers, the line connects Ardabil province to the national rail network for the first time, ending years of limited access to rail transport. The project took over two decades to complete and required extensive engineering work. A large portion of the route passes through mountains and uneven terrain, which led to the construction of dozens of tunnels, bridges, and protective galleries. These structures ensure the railway can operate safely despite harsh weather conditions, including heavy snowfall and avalanche risks. Engineers faced additional challenges such as unstable ground and strict slope requirements for train movement. To address these, they applied specialized construction techniques and precise leveling systems to maintain safe gradients the entire track. Beyond its technical complexity, the railway is expected to bring significant economic benefits. Ardabil’s agricultural products, which were previously transported by road, can now move more efficiently by rail, reducing costs and travel time. The new connection also supports industrial development by improving access to raw materials and wider markets. The railway is also part of a larger international transport corridor linking Northern Europe to the Persian Gulf and South Asia. With this route in place, Iran moves closer to establishing a continuous rail connection across these regions.
