美國國家颶風中心：颶風“瑞秋”強度進一步小幅增強。

TASNIM NEWS: The deputy communications director of the Iranian presidential office said Paknejad had earlier submitted a resignation for personal reasons, which the president initially did not accept; the president accepted it today.

On the 4th, Iran’s parliament speaker Ghalibaf said Washington has recently made proposals via intermediaries and is in a state of despair in the face of Iran’s firm stance. He said the era of imposing unilateral demands through a war of attrition is over. Iran’s position is clear: the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until seven conditions set out in the Islamabad memorandum of understanding are satisfied. U.S. President Trump on the 2nd said the conflict with Iran would "end soon" and that Iran would "never have nuclear weapons."
