🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Contrary to the hype of the contrived media war, structural arrangements for negotiations are progressing," - Ali Larijani, Head of Iran's National Security Council.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Marked in yellow in the Western Hemisphere, you have the United States.

Several oceans away, on the other side of the planet, Iran's borders are marked in yellow.

The little circle in red is the Strait of Hormuz.

Operating off our shores, the US military is now attempting to dictate how our Powerful Armed Forces should conduct target practice in their own turf.

CENTCOM is also requesting "professionalism" from a national military the U.S. Government has listed as a "terrorist organization", all while recognizing the right of that same "terrorist organization" to conduct military drills!

This is the level of absurdity the world is now facing, and which European governments have actively decided to embrace.

The IRGC has always been, and still remains, the protector of peace and stability in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. In our region, it is wisely known as a formidable force which has proven itself on the battlefield against both terrorists and invading militaries.

Freedom of navigation and safe passage of commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz are of vital importance for Iran, as much as it is for our neighbors. The presence of outside forces in our region has always caused the exact opposite of what is declared: promoting escalation instead of de-escalation," - Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister.
