Iran and the "ceasefire"

Iran Declares Strait of Hormuz Open, but Warns of Risk From Mines

They had a hell of a nerve laying mines in a major waterway that they don't own

“Those technical restrictions are very much connected to the wartime condition, and it takes time to be removed,” Khatibzadeh said, adding that each vessel should make “necessary arrangements” with the Iranian authorities to be able to pass through the strait safely.

In a post on X on April 9 local time, the Iranian Consulate in Mumbai warned of “possible anti-ship mines” and shared a map showing a mined area in the main channel of the strait.

It encouraged ships to take two alternative corridors further north, one of which is what became known as the “tollbooth” lane, north of Larak Island.

Oil hovered near $98 a barrel on April 9, as traffic through the strait remained well below peacetime levels.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said France is finalizing plans with around 14 other European nations to escort ships through the strait.

“The fundamental freedoms ‌of the seas must not be unilaterally withdrawn or sold off ​to individual bidders,” British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is expected to say. According to the advance copy. “Nor can there be ​any place for tolls on ​an international waterway. Freedom of navigation means navigation must be ⁠free.”

Yes, because there is always a good reason why schools full of school children need to be obliterated.

@6:59...Reports from Amnesty International and other observers have highlighted that the school was located adjacent to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) compound.
Accountability and Criticism: Critics argue that Iranian authorities failed to adequately protect civilians by not relocating schools, clinics, and residential areas away from, or failing to move children out of, potential military targets that were known to be at risk of being hit.
We were hitting the IRGC compound not kids in a school. Iran continues to use civilians as shields for propaganda.
