ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran) today announced the presence of mines in the Strait of Hormuz, indicating two alternative routes for the passage of ships and triggering new international concerns for a possible resumption of hostilities with the United States. The TV is back at Arabiya. In a military communiqué today, accompanied by a nautical map, the Corps of the Guards of the Islamic Revolution declared that some mines are located along the usual path in the strategic sea arm. The organization has therefore indicated two alternative lanes: one south of the island of Larak and the other north, motivating the measure “to protect the ships from possible collisions with the mines”.
The move arrives as the second day enters a fragile ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States. American officials warned that the Iranian attempt to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz could lead to the rapid rekindling of the conflict. According to Arab mediators, Tehran informed the interlocutors who, in the context of the interim agreement, will limit the transit to about twelve ships per day and will impose tolls for the crossing. Authorized boats must also coordinate directly with the Revolutionary Guards, paramilitary training considered a terrorist organization from the United States and the European Union.
The data of S&P Global Market Intelligence confirm the strong contraction of traffic: yesterday, Wednesday, only four ships passed, the lowest number recorded so far in April, compared to the average of over one hundred daily transits before the outbreak of hostilities. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz, through which it passes about 20% of world oil, remains highly sensitive and could heavily influence global energy markets.
TRUMP “FORZE USA IN IRAN FINCHE’ ACCORDO NON SARA’ PIENAMENTE RISPETTATO”
“All ships, planes and U.S. military personnel, with ammunition, armaments and anything appropriate and necessary for the persecution and lethal destruction of an enemy already substantially weakened, will remain in Iran and in the surrounding areas until the true agreement reached will not be fully respected. If for any reason this should not happen, which is highly unlikely, then ‘the fights on fire’, larger, better and stronger than ever before. The agreement was reached a long time ago and, despite all the false contrary rhetoric, no nuclear weapon and the Strait of Hormuz will be open and safe. Meanwhile, our great army is preparing and resting, waiting for its next conquest. America is back!”. US President Donald Trump writes about Truth.
ESERCITO IRANIANO, COSTRETTO NEMICO AD ACCETTARE CESSATE FUOCO ALLE NOSTRE CONDIZIONI
The Iranian army claimed to have forced “the enemy” to accept the ceasefire under its own conditions, while specifying that Iran remains formally in a state of war. The TV’s back at Jazeera. The spokesman for the Iranian armed forces said: “We are still in a state of war, but the acceptance of the ceasefire and the beginning of the negotiations represent a victory for the Iranian people. We forced the enemy to accept the ceasefire according to our conditions and our proposal made up of 10 points.” “We now await orders from the general command of the armed forces,” said the spokesman, stressing that “the enemy has demonstrated, in the nuclear agreement and in two rounds of negotiations, that they are not worthy of trust.” The statements arrive as the ceasefire announced by American President Donald Trump between the United States and Iran for a duration of two weeks.
