TRUMP: I WOULD HAVE WON VIETNAM VERY QUICKLY

Iran’s UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said Tehran has “received some sign” the U.S. is prepared to end its naval blockade, adding that new negotiations in Islamabad could follow once it is lifted. He called the blockade a violation of the ceasefire and a precondition for talks. The U.S. has not confirmed any change. Iravani said, “The U.S. started the war against Iran,” and warned Iran is “ready” for both diplomacy and conflict.
