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 ship and seize it. A provocation ignored by Donald Trump. The American president claims that the ceasefire was not violated, as the seized ships were not flying the American flag.
“Once again, the president leaves a small margin of maneuver, because 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, spokesperson for the White House.
The U.S. administration claims that a resumption of discussions with Iran could still be possible in the coming days. However, Tehran demands the lifting of the American blockade on its ports to continue negotiations.
