US attacked Iran twice during talks, must rebuild trust: Pezeshkian​



President Masoud Pezeshkian says Washington must work to regain Iran’s trust, which has been “completely lost” after the United States attacked the Islamic Republic twice during diplomatic talks.

During a phone conversation with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday, Pezeshkian said Tehran considers recent US and Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including its safeguarded nuclear facilities, to be “war crimes” and a violation of international law.

“During the course of negotiations, the US and Zionist regime attacked Iran twice and there is a possibility of that happening again, which has caused Iran to completely lose trust in the United States,” he said.

Pezeshkian briefed Lukashenko on the latest ceasefire discussions and talks between Iran and the US held in Islamabad early this month, saying the truce has been violated by aggressive actions of the US and Israeli regime.

The president said Washington needed to stop its aggressive rhetoric and provocative actions to rebuilt trust with Tehran, and show seriousness in the negotiating process aimed at putting a “definitive end” to the war.

Pezeshkian thanked Belarus for its supportive stance.
 

Calling Strait of Hormuz by fake names ‘a terrible mistake’: Iran FM​



Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says using any false nomenclature for the Strait of Hormuz is a “terrible mistake.”

“Today is Persian Gulf Day in Iran, marking our ancestors’ expulsion of Portuguese from Strait of Hormuz 400 years ago,” he wrote in a message on X marking the occasion.

Araghchi pointed out that US President Donald Trump calls the Persian Gulf by its correct name, but the Pentagon has committed a “terrible mistake” by using a fabricated term to describe the body of water.

“POTUS uses the correct term ‘Persian Gulf’, not the Pentagon’s fake version. But calling Hormuz anything else is indeed a ‘terrible mistake’,” he wrote.

Iran has closed the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for global oil and gas supplies, to shipping associated with the US and Israeli regime and their collaborators, since the early days of the military aggression that began on February 28.

Iranian officials say transit through the Strait was possible before America and Israel started the war of aggression.
 
Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran will strive to ensure that the future of the Persian Gulf is free of “American presence and interference.”

“In the year 1622 AD, after 115 years of occupation, we drove the European colonizers out of the Persian Gulf, and we celebrate National Persian Gulf Day in honor of this victory,” Ghalibaf announced in a message marking the occasion.

“Soon we hope that Iran will grant itself and its neighbors the valuable blessing of a future free from the US presence and interference,” he added.

America's blockade has attempted the closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for global oil and gas supplies, to shipping since the early days of the military aggression that began on February 28.
 

Identity of Persian Gulf ‘cannot be confiscated’: Foreign Ministry spokesperson​



Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei, marking National Persian Gulf Day, said the historical name of the waterway cannot be altered through media noise or political maneuvering.

Posting on X on Thursday, Baqaei said that National Persian Gulf Day serves as “a reminder of a truth that neither changes with media hype nor is forgotten through political games.”

He stated that in light of tensions in the region, “the stability and security of this body of water can only be understood by respecting the will of the Iranian nation and acknowledging clear historical and geographical realities.”

“Identity cannot be confiscated. Names cannot be erased from the world’s memory,” Baghaei wrote, adding that the Persian Gulf, “a name as old as history itself,” will remain the Persian Gulf.
 

Pentagon blindsided by Trump’s petty meltdown at key ally​



Donald Trump’s retaliatory outburst over the German chancellor’s criticism of his Iran war strategy has shocked the Pentagon, according to a report.

The thin-skinned president declared in a Truth Social post on Wednesday that the U.S. is “studying and reviewing the possible reduction of Troops in Germany, with a determination to be made over the next short period of time.“ Germany hosts more U.S. troops than any other European country.

Trump apparently failed to consult or inform Pentagon officials before making his announcement, which appeared aimed at getting back at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for saying that the U.S. has been “humiliated” by Iran.
