Iran issued statements on security and nuclear policy, reported an increase in Strait of Hormuz transits, and reaffirmed its military preparedness against any new aggression.

Iran's ambassador to Pakistan says a positive step concerning Islamabad-mediated interactions between the Islamic Republic and the United States is possible.

A Japanese analyst warns that the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz would trigger a severe economic crisis for major industrialized nations, underscoring Iran's growing strategic leverage.

Trump’s relentless military threats against Iran are a "psychological pressure" tactic — an attempt to extract political concessions that 40 days of unprovoked aggression failed to secure, says an analyst.

Having suffered successive defeats and fired its last arrow, Washington's desperate sabre-rattling against Iran is not strength but the final convulsion of a declining empire that has completely lost the plot.

America's failed war on Iran has shifted the global power balance, with Tehran emerging as a decisive force reshaping the rules of engagement, which was evident when Trump left Beijing empty-handed as China refused to discuss or pressure Iran.

Germany’s reluctance to provide logistical support to the US in the war against Iran stems from a fundamental breakdown in the transatlantic alliance, says an analyst.
