When Pat Martin and John Baird did that back and forth on Zombies… that was cinema to me.

In his "most notorious [job] interview," Karp met Louis Mosley, an Oxford graduate whose grandfather Oswald Mosley was the British fascist leader during World War Il and once named "worst Briton of the twentieth century." As soon as Mosley sat down, Karp began reciting from memory, for several minutes, one of Oswald's 1939 speeches demanding Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. When finished, Karp executed tai chi moves and walked out without saying goodbye.

(Part One) 📌 Iran pursued efforts to ensure that a ceasefire in Lebanon would also be implemented based on the April 8 understanding; the ceasefire took place last night. Extensive efforts were made from various sides to achieve this. Therefore, it was agreed that the part related to Iran’s commitments—again, I emphasize, nothing new and simply the implementation of the April 8 commitment—would be carried out. This means that the movement of commercial vessels will take place in coordination with Iran. 📌 The passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz will occur along routes designated by Iran and in coordination with the relevant Iranian authorities. Media outlets and the public should not pay attention to the opposing side’s media narratives, as they hold contradictory positions. Iran is the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz and, wherever necessary, will show no leniency in implementing measures that guarantee the interests and rights of the Iranian people. A naval blockade by the United States would be considered a violation of the ceasefire, and Iran will respond accordingly. 📌 So far, there have been no discussions about extending the ceasefire. In recent days, Iran’s entire focus has been on creating the necessary conditions for a complete end to the war, in line with the rights of the Iranian people. The opening and closing of the Strait of Hormuz will be determined on the ground, not in virtual space. 📌 The armed forces are responsible for implementing navigation measures in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s enriched uranium will not be transferred anywhere under any circumstances. Just as Iran’s soil is sacred, enriched uranium is regarded in the same way. What is referred to as a “naval blockade” will certainly be met with an appropriate response from Iran. A naval blockade constitutes a violation of the ceasefire, and Iran will definitely take the necessary measures. 📌 The claim by the U.S. President about talks with Iranian officials is not true.

📍 Latest news on the negotiations from the Foreign Ministry spokesperson (Part Two) 📌 In the recent meeting of the Pakistani delegation in Tehran, it became much clearer than before which gaps between us have been bridged and where we can find innovative, bilateral, and border-based solutions to resolve differences—and in which areas we truly have red lines. 📌 There is now no ambiguity regarding any of the sections or topics of the negotiations. In the meetings that the Pakistani delegation had with the respected President, Mr. Ghalibaf, and military officials, everything is clear. The negotiations of these past few days are different from previous rounds. 📌 Previous negotiations were focused on the nuclear issue, but now the talks are aimed at ending the war. Naturally, the scope of discussion has become broader and different, including issues such as the Strait of Hormuz. A strong point of these two days of negotiations was that viewpoints were presented very clearly and in detail. We will see what happens in the coming days as this path continues. 📌 The negotiations in Islamabad took place between Dr. Ghalibaf, the respected Speaker of Parliament, and the opposing side, namely the Vice President of the United States, with Pakistan acting as mediator. This matter is completely clear. Aside from this, any claims that a particular U.S. official has spoken with a particular official from the Islamic Republic of Iran or made statements have no basis in reality. 📌 Negotiations regarding the complete end of the war—referred to as the “cessation of war”—have various components that have been discussed. A ten-point plan for lifting sanctions is very important to us. The issue of compensation for damages incurred during the imposed war is of special importance, as is ensuring that the war is fully stopped.

As we also demonstrated in ceasefire discussions, stopping the war on all fronts is critically important. These issues must be viewed as a single package and cannot be separated from one another. All elements must be considered together to create a balance between “give and take.” 📌 We know the parties we are dealing with; we know that in the past they have repeatedly broken promises, frequently changed their positions, and made unreasonable and illogical demands. Nevertheless, it is our duty to firmly, steadfastly, and vigilantly safeguard the interests and rights of the nation, clearly and decisively state our positions, and at the same time, with an innovative approach, find ways to secure our country’s interests. As I mentioned, we have never been optimistic about the opposing side, and now—given the experience of these past forty to fifty days and the crimes that have taken place—this pessimism and distrust is greater than ever. 📌 The transfer of Iran’s enriched materials to the United States has never been considered an option. Regarding the permanent suspension of enrichment, I should say that all such claims are part of a media campaign intended to influence the negotiators and the negotiation table. We, as diplomats and members of the negotiating team, will certainly not be influenced by this atmosphere. 📌 Based on the directives set by the system, the negotiating delegation proceeds with its work, and what matters to us is securing the interests and rights of the Iranian people. 📮 Official information base of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf 🔗 Ghalibaf.ir

As you can clearly see in this 3 day long AIS playback since the blockade line was drawn between the eastern horn of Oman and the IR-PK border, a lot of the tankers which have been placed under US sanctions have been entering and departing the scene with ease. And those are just the ones on AIS.
