In the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian mosquito fleet is preparing to board a container ship. The assault is shown on state television. On their boats, the Revolutionary Guards, armed and hooded, board the vessel. The ship is captured. This provocation is ignored by Donald Trump. The American president asserts that the truce was not violated, as the seized ships were not flying the American flag.
“Once again, the president leaves room for maneuver, as we want to see a unified response to the president’s very firm proposal. He has been very clear about his red lines.”, clarified Karoline Leavitt, White House spokeswoman.
The US executive claims that a resumption of discussions with Iran could still happen in the coming days. However, Tehran demands the lifting of the American blockade on its ports to continue negotiations.
