Iran’s newly appointed secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, said that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is strictly contingent upon Washington meeting Tehran’s core demands, including a complete halt to regional conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.

During a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Tehran, Cong Peiwu, Rezaei emphasized that the strategic waterway will remain closed unless the United States changes its behavior and accepts Iran’s stipulated conditions, which have been communicated to Washington through intermediaries.

Rezaei reiterated that the U.S. must end its hostile policies, release frozen Iranian assets, and put an immediate end to ongoing wars across the region, specifically highlighting the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

Netanyahu is extending the war so that he won't be prosecuted in court for corruption. It's a classic from the dictator's playbook. Wage a war so your people get too distracted to look against your own incompetence and corruption. However, the war on Iran is backfiring on Bibi.

It's really upsetting to see how well that seems to work for Netanyahu, trump, and Putin...

Let's just hope it backfires enough
