A historic and significant moment for the nation. With former Presidents @MohamedNasheed, @prz_yameen and @ibusolih at their first joint meeting, where they came together to discuss the serious challenges facing the country, including the protection of constitutional governance, the rule of law and press freedom. At a time when journalists are being jailed and fundamental freedoms are under threat, national interest must rise above political differences. The message is clear: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The country must come first.

ADD: For now, @ASEAN’s position on Myanmar remains — it hasn’t come to consensus on recognising the recent election results, ie, the newly formed Min Aung Hlaing administration Also, bloc has said before engagement doesn’t mean recognition

We shall never forget that PM Jawaharlal Nehru was the 1st foreign head of govt to pay a visit to Vietnam in 1954, a mere week after liberation of Hanoi. This was a demonstration of the immense support that the people & govt have accorded to the cause of Vietnamese people: To Lam

روایت قالیباف از لحظات مقابله با مین‌روب دشمن حین مذاکرات اسلام‌آباد محمدباقر قالیباف رئیس مجلس در گفت‌وگوی تلویزیونی با مردم: 🔹مردم عزیز ایران، تنگه هرمز در کنترل جمهوری اسلامی است. 🔹با تلاش آمریکا برای مین‌روبی قاطعانه برخورد کردیم و آن را نقض آتش‌بس می‌دانیم و تا مرحله درگیری پیش رفتیم اما دشمن عقب‌نشینی کرد‌. 🔹در اسلام‌آباد به هیئت آمریکایی گفتم که اگر مین‌روب آن‌ها از مکان خود ذره‌ای جلوتر برود، قطعا به آن شلیک می‌کنیم. ۱۵ دقیقه فرصت خواستند تا دستور برگشت بدهند و دادند‌. 🔹اگر امروز در تنگه ترددی انجام می‌شود، کنترل تنگه در دست ما قرار دارد. 🔹آمریکایی‌ها چند روز است که اعلام محاصره کرده‌اند، این یک تصمیم ناشیانه و از روی نادانی است‌. امکان ندارد دیگران بتوانند از تنگه هرمز عبور کنند ولی ما نتوانیم. 🔹اگر آمریکا محاصره را رها نکند، حتما تردد در تنگه هرمز محدود خواهد شد.

نظم جدید بر تنگه هرمز حاکم شده: ۱. شناورهای غیرنظامی صرفا از مسیر تعیین‌شده ایران تردد می‌کنند ۲. تردد شناورهای نظامی از تنگه کماکان ممنوع است ۳. ترددها صرفا بااجازه نیروی دریایی سپاه است ۴. این تردد در راستای توافق دوره سکوت صحنه نبرد و بعد از اجرای آتش‌بس لبنان صورت می‌گیرد

مقام آگاه: شرط اول اینکه عبور از مسیر تعیین‌شده ایران صورت می‌گیرد ورود به تنگه از شمال جزیره لارک و خروج از تنگه از جنوب لارک خواهد بود و به این ترتیب تنگه هرمز به طور کامل به آب‌های سرزمینی ایران منتقل می‌شود.
