Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister: Hormuz Strait Not Closed, Negotiations Must Proceed with Preconditions

1 hours ago

April 9 (per UK ITV News) — Iran’s deputy foreign minister addressed two key issues in his latest remarks: 1. **Strait of Hormuz Status**: He denied reports the Strait of Hormuz had been closed, noting the waterway remains open to all civilian ships and dismissing related claims as inaccurate. However, he said vessels transiting the strait must contact Iranian authorities in advance for safe passage guidance due to wartime sea mines—all vessels that have coordinated with Iran have been granted passage. 2. **Lebanon Ceasefire & Islamabad Talks**: An Iranian delegation will travel to Islamabad for peace talks only if Israel halts its attacks on Lebanon, he stated. He stressed any regional peace deal must include Lebanon, adding the “next few hours will be critical.” He also disclosed Iran was on the verge of retaliatory action last night but exercised restraint due to diplomatic considerations and after the U.S. called on Israel to agree to a ceasefire. For now, Iran is keeping the door open to negotiations—but its stance is clear: a Lebanon ceasefire is a prerequisite for talks, and developments over the next few hours will directly determine if the Islamabad talks proceed as planned.

Tesla Reportedly Developing New Compact SUV, Expected to Be More Affordable

On April 9, informed sources revealed Tesla is developing a new, smaller, more affordable electric SUV. Tesla has been reaching out to suppliers in recent weeks to hash out details of the compact SUV plan—this will be an all-new vehicle, not a redesign of its existing Model 3 or Model Y. Sources noted the SUV will be built in China; another source added Tesla intends to ramp up production in the U.S. and Europe later. Measuring 4.28 meters (roughly 14 feet) long, it’s significantly shorter than Tesla’s top-selling Model Y SUV (around 15.7 feet). Back in 2024, Musk scrapped the highly anticipated low-cost EV project, shifting the company’s focus to robotaxis and humanoid robots. A key question: Does this latest push for a smaller SUV signal a strategic pivot back to mass-market Level 4 autonomous EVs, or does it better align with Tesla’s vision for fully self-driving cars? Per sources and a Tesla employee, the model could have dual uses. The employee declined to confirm or d

US-Iran “Top Ten Demands” Dispute Revealed: Significant Controversy Over Core Terms, Uncertainty Remains on Ceasefire Negotiation Prospects

April 9 Iran has put forward a "Ten-Point Demand Package" in ongoing ceasefire talks, encompassing security, sanctions relief, nuclear matters, and regional military arrangements. While Tehran has shown flexibility on some terms, major gaps persist between the U.S. and Iran on core issues, with an agreement still uncertain. Key areas of dispute include: - **Strait of Hormuz**: Iran aims to maintain control of the vital energy shipping lane, while the U.S. insists on "unrestricted access"—a sharp point of disagreement. - **Uranium Enrichment**: Iran wants to keep its enrichment capabilities, a position the U.S. has previously rejected; Washington may now allow only symbolic concessions. - **Sanctions Relief**: Iran demands full removal of primary and secondary sanctions, but implementation faces major hurdles due to U.S. congressional constraints and national security concerns. - **Middle East Troop Withdrawal**: Iran is pushing for a full U.S. military withdrawal from the
