—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

‘Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran

If they don't agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’

Fyi, every time he posts stuff like this, it makes Iran less likely to accept a deal.

If I was Araqchi I would just tear up any deal out of sheer spite at this point.

Can’t give Trump the satisfaction.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Spokesman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security & Foreign Policy Committee:

‘Axios' text is the Americans' wish list, not a reality.

The Americans will not obtain through a failed war what they failed to gain in previous negotiations.

Iran has its finger on the trigger and is prepared; if they do not submit and grant the necessary concessions, or if they or their devilish henchdog allies try to act mischievously, we will deliver a harsh and regret-inducing response.’

— NOTE: This is regarding the alleged Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between U.S.-Iran being circulated by Barak Ravid at Axios.

In short, he claims Iran has agreed to a 12-year suspension on enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief and release of frozen assets, as part of a phased end to the war.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Caitlin Doornbos, a New York Post reporter close to Trump & present in Islamabad talks from beginning till end, says multiple versions of the MoU exist

The one that Barak Ravid published in Axios is likely the Americans’ preferred version and far from reality.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 The Washington Post:

‘Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at U.S. military sites across the Middle East since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Washington Post analysis of satellite imagery.

The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 The Washington Post:

‘In all, The Post found 217 structures and 11 pieces of equipment that were damaged or destroyed at 15 U.S. military sites in the region.

Experts who reviewed the analysis said the damage at the sites suggested that the U.S. military had underestimated Iran’s targeting abilities, not adapted sufficiently to modern drone warfare and left some bases under-protected.

‘The Iranian attacks were precise. There are no random craters indicating misses,’ said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a retired Marine Corps colonel, who reviewed the Iranian images at our request. The Post previously revealed how Russia provided Iran with intelligence to target U.S. forces.

During the war, Iranian state-affiliated news agencies repeatedly shared their own satellite imagery of damage at U.S. bases.

The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of the those Iranian satellite images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet where available. No Iranian imagery was found to have been manipulated.’
