📣 Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister: We Will Not Accept Any Foreign Interference in the Strait of Hormuz 🔸 Kazem Gharibabadi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, said that any understanding concerning the Strait of Hormuz must be reached exclusively between Iran and Oman, adding that Iran recognizes no rights for any other country in this matter. 🔸 He said the new route through the Strait of Hormuz is temporary, but could remain valid for two to four months or longer. 🔸 Under the new understanding, the temporary routes currently in use through the strait will be closed. 🔸 According to the agreement, both the northern route near Larak Island and the southern route in Omani territorial waters will be closed. 🔸 The new plan is designed so that ships will pass through Iranian waters both when entering the strait and along parts of their outbound route. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

📣 JD Vance Acknowledges $230 Billion in Fraud Against the U.S. Government 🔸 U.S. Vice President JD Vance said the government has uncovered approximately $230 billion in fraud involving public funds, including fraud targeting Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and COVID-19 relief programs. 🔸 In an op-ed published by The Washington Post, Vance argued that when a government turns a blind eye to fraud, maintaining public trust becomes impossible. 🔸 Vance cited several cases, including one in the Minneapolis area in which a disabled American reportedly needed around-the-clock care and had sought assistance through a state-administered Medicaid program but received none. Meanwhile, a fraudster allegedly billed more than $1 million for services that were never provided.
