Reuters: Indian refineries to stop using blacklisted Iranian vessels 🔺Reuters reported, citing sources with direct knowledge, that after the announcement of the initial list of banned Iranian vessels, at least three Indian oil refineries and one major international energy company plan to stop using vessels on this list due to security concerns. 🔺Reuters wrote that Iran's restrictions could further reduce oil shipments from the Strait of Hormuz; a route that prior to the war accounted for around 20 percent of the world's oil and LNG cargoes, but since the start of the war, traffic has primarily decreased to a trickle.

📡 UN chief gravely concerned by renewed US-Iran exchange of fire: Spokesperson 📌 New York, IRNA – UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Wednesday during a news conference that "I can tell the secretary-general is gravely concerned by the renewed exchange of fire overnight between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The secretary-general is deeply alarmed by reports of civilian casualties, including a strike that reportedly hit a wedding ceremony in Iran." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday expressed grave concern over a renewed exchange of fire overnight between the US and Iran, and voiced alarm over reported civilian casualties, including a strike that reportedly hit a wedding ceremony in Iran. ​ "I can tell the secretary-general is gravely concerned by the renewed exchange of fire overnight between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The secretary-general is deeply alarmed by reports of civilian casualties, including a strike that reportedly hit a wedding ceremony in Iran," UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said during a news conference. ​ "The secretary-general condemns all attacks against civilians. He recalls that all parties must respect their obligations under international humanitarian law, including the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution," he added. ​ Dujarric noted that a "few countries in the region are immune to this escalation, with airspace and critical shipping routes continuing to be heavily impacted." ​ He said that Guterres "reiterates his call for an immediate cessation of military action and urges all concerned to exercise restraint and refrain from action and rhetoric that could further escalate already high tensions." ​ Dujarric also warned that "further escalations, as you can imagine, would have devastating consequences for civilians and the wider region and beyond," noting that humanitarian operations in the region are "already overstretched and underfunded." ​ He said the UN chief "urges the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran to return urgently to diplomacy," adding: "A comprehensive and durable settlement can be achieved only through dialog and negotiations." 📲 ​

The file "Ramadan War"/139; Reflecting the consequences of war against Iran in the world media 🔺Reuters: CENTCOM targeted the air defense systems, radar, mine-laying capabilities, and communication centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Tuesday, and in reaction, Iran bombarded U.S. bases in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Iraq with missiles. The Guard Corps reported a missile and drone attack on the Ali Al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, and Jordan reported the entry of 13 ballistic missiles into its airspace. 🔺NPR: The U.S. military has once again targeted positions in Iran, and Iran has bombarded U.S. bases in the region with missiles and drones. CENTCOM claimed it targeted Iran's air defense systems, radars, and maritime capabilities. Donald Trump stated, "I don't care if they sign a worthless agreement or not," claiming "almost complete control of the Strait of Hormuz," and once again called on the Iranian people to revolt. Iran condemned these attacks and targeted U.S. bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. 🔺The Guardian: Recent clashes have dashed hopes that tensions would be limited over the weekend. According to this report, the U.S. military targeted positions of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Iran, in a decisive reaction, bombarded U.S. interests in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq. The Guard Corps reported a "severe ballistic missile attack" on the Camp Taitin base in Jordan, and the Jordanian army claimed to have intercepted 10 missiles. 🔺Al Jazeera: Besides military attacks against Iran, the U.S. may be considering three scenarios for creating political change in Tehran: "economic pressure and provoking internal protests, exploiting border areas and armed opposition groups, and creating a rift in the military and security structure." 🔺Ray Al-Yawm: The confrontation between the U.S. and Iran should not simply be viewed as a continuation of mutual attacks or a transition from war to sanctions; the core issue is determining who sets the security and transit rules in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is currently a crossroads of military, economic, and geographical power, and U.S. sanctions are not separate from the naval battle.

Ghalibaf in a meeting with the Islamic relations official of Hamas: 🔹We do not deny negotiations, but negotiations are a tool for struggle, and if we ever stop fighting against the U.S. and the Zionist regime in its various forms, that day will be the day of defeat. 🔹We emphasized in Article 1 of the agreement the end of their war against Iran and Iran's allies in the resistance front; whereas the other side initially demanded a complete halt to missile, nuclear, and resistance activities in their 15-point document. 🔹Today, even governments that are enamored with America in the region admit that this country causes insecurity in the region. The Americans must fulfill their obligations for us to take steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Islamic relations official of the Hamas movement: 🔸Many countries were surprised by your actions against America, but we knew that if the moment of confrontation with Iran came, the enemy would be surprised by your actions. 🔸The Palestinian resistance against the Zionist regime has been continuous, and it will persist until the remnants of this regime are removed from the land of Palestine.

🌍 Iran’s MP questions US failure to distinguish military targets from civilian sites 📌 Tehran, IRNA – Hasan Ghashghavi, spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, has questioned how the United States can fail to distinguish between military targets and civilian sites, following a US attack on a wedding ceremony in Sirik, Hormuzgan Province. Ghashghavi made the remarks in a post on X on Wednesday, reacting to the US attack on a wedding ceremony in the coastal city of Sirik the previous night. ​ “The regime that claims its satellite coverage allows it to closely monitor the movement of even the smallest creature on Earth, how can it fail to distinguish between military targets and a school or a wedding ceremony?” he wrote. ​ He added that the United States and its allies have been dropping bombs and firing missiles at defenseless people for decades, while leaving the justification of their crimes to fact-finding committees. ​ The US attacks on parts of Hormuzgan Province on Tuesday night targeted Bandar Abbas, Sirik, Jask, and Qeshm Island. A residential area and a wedding ceremony in Sirik County were among the sites hit in the attacks. At least five people were killed and dozens more wounded as a result. 📲 ​

🔴 IRGC: 2 illegal tankers exploded after going on a mine. 🔹 IRGC spokesperson: Proud and resilient people of Islamic Iran; your steadfastness has inspired nations and the world witnesses the awakening process of peoples and the tightening pressure on criminal oppressors. 🔹 Last night, the terrorist US Army repeated the intimidation scenario that it had executed multiple times in its invasions of various countries, namely attacking a wedding to showcase cruelty and heartlessness and scare the people; unaware that the Iranian nation is not one to be frightened by such games, nor is this an era of humiliation and submission for nations. The world has awakened, and this century is the century of the triumph of the will of nations. 🔹 With these cruel maneuvers, our control over the Strait of Hormuz will not be weakened. 🔹 A few hours ago, two tankers, having disembarked their crew at the instigation of the US Army and handed over to American agents for illegal passage, exploded and were halted after going on a mine and are now burning. 🔹 Previously, the IRGC Navy had warned about the dangers of passing through mined pathways, and additionally, further penalties have been anticipated for the maritime companies that fall for American deceit and hand over their vessels to the enemy, which will soon be implemented.
