‘Reducing Iran's oil exports to zero; A wish that never came true’

TEHRAN- The admission of the ineffectiveness of oil sanctions against Iran comes after the signing of the memorandum of understanding ending the war between America and the Zionist regime against Iran, voiced by American officials. This follows Mohsen Paknejad, the oil minister, having previously responded decisively to Donald Trump's maximum pressure order aimed at reducing Iran's oil exports to zero, declaring that America's maximum pressure policy on Iran's oil exports has failed and that reducing Iran's oil exports to zero is a wish they will never achieve.

Why the Iran-US ceasefire is falling apart | The Bottom Line

Neither Iran nor the United States seems able to deliver a “knockout blow at an acceptable price” to the other side, and both know “they have no choice other than engaging in diplomacy”, but they’re not ready to make uncomfortable concessions, argues Ali Vaez, director of the Iran Project at International Crisis Group. Vaez tells host Steve Clemons that Tehran and Washington are trying to “enforce their own interpretation” of the ceasefire agreement they signed last month. President Trump has become “frustrated” with diplomacy because he’s not seeing “the kind of quick results that he likes to see”, Vaez says. #iran #unitedstates #iranwar #ceasefire #aljazeera #aljazeeraenglish

In spite of pessimistic forecasts of certain doom for Iran if Tehran ever found itself in a direct confrontation with Washington, the Islamic Republic withstood the overwhelming US-Israeli blow launched against it after decades of mounting tensions.

Tehran teemed with Khamenei mourners, but divisions – and demands for change – remain

As the multipurpose, multinational funeral of Iran's former supreme leader Ali Khamenei moved to the Jamkaran mosque in the holy city of Qom, and then to Najaf in Iraq, Iran's leadership was weighing the mandate it had been given by the millions who have taken to the streets of Tehran over the past three days. Some hailed the moment as a referendum from the streets showing support for the clerical establishment, and called for the strategy of confrontation with the west to be intensified. Others said it was more about a wider national pride that was conditional on demands for change and an end to the war being met.

Analysis-Khamenei funeral signals Iran's defiance and new regional order

By Samia NakhoulBEIRUT, July 6 (Reuters) - The funeral of late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was more than a national farewell.

Rather than looking weakened by the war that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28, Iran presented itself as defiant, unified and determined to shape what comes next.
