President Trump revealed that the gift the US received from Iran was ten ships filled with oil or gas through the Strait of Hormuz. It was supposed to be eight. It is a show of goodwill.

IRGC official Rahim Nadali says Iran has lowered the minimum age for war support roles to 12 under the “For Iran” initiative, citing growing numbers of 12 and 13-year-old volunteers.
Meanwhile, Israel believes it killed the IRGC naval commander Alireza Tangsiri in an airstrike in Bandar Abbas after a building collapsed on him and his men. No official confirmation yet, but if verified, it would be a major blow to Iran’s naval command.
