🇺🇸🕊🇮🇷❗️ — Full statement by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the reopening of the Strait:

For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚡️ — Reporter: Is there any concern that Netanyahu is trying to kill the ceasefire?

Karoline Leavitt: President Trump spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu last night, and in that private conversation, Prime Minister Netanyahu conveyed exactly what he has said publicly — that he supports the president and that Israel remains a key ally and partner of the United States.

They have been a tremendous partner over the past six weeks, and we thank them for their heroic efforts.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷Trump's Iran Bombing Plan: A Recipe for Disaster 💥

Trump's threat to bomb Iran's critical infrastructure may sound like a quick fix, but it's doomed to fail.

Striking power plants and bridges won't stop Iran's missiles or cripple its military. Instead, it would destabilize the region and escalate the conflict.

Here's why:

1️⃣ Target selection is flawed

Iran's military doesn't rely on the public electrical grid. It runs on diesel and jet fuel stored in off-grid depots. Less than 5% of the country's diesel is used for military purposes.

Even if the entire grid collapsed, tanks, missile launchers, and other military assets keep moving.

Iran also has 130–150 power plants spread across the country. Even if the US takes out the biggest one, that would change almost nothing. Decentralization = hard to kill.

2️⃣ Military impact is zero. Civilian cost is catastrophic

A 1994 US Air Force report confirms grid attacks don't affect military operations. Bases have backup generators with 30–90 days of fuel and dual power sources.

Historical precedent: 1991 Gulf War bombing of Iraq's grid caused cholera outbreaks and an estimated 100,000 civilian deaths. Trump's plan replicates this error — targeting civilians while leaving military capability intact.

3️⃣ Strategic bombing is empirically disproven

A 1996 US Air Force report authored by Colonel Everest E. Riccioni found bombing fails to break an enemy's will or cripple infrastructure permanently. It prolongs wars — WWII, Vietnam, Gulf War.

Iran can retaliate symmetrically, threatening infrastructure in neighboring countries — an escalatory dynamic past targets lacked.
