Ghalibaf: No talks with US until Iran's terms met, Hormuz won't reopen
🔹Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared that there will be no return to previous negotiations, and the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen, until Iran's conditions are met and US commitments are implemented.
🔹Speaking ahead of Sacred Defence Week, he said Iran is repeating its historical experience of resistance—"with the difference that this time it will shape a new order in the region and the world."
🔹"The duality of war or negotiation is not real. We must both fight and negotiate—fight powerfully and negotiate with authority when the enemy is weak," he said, describing this as the path to deterrence.
🔹He stressed that Iran's conditions have been conveyed frankly through mediators: "The enemy knows the path of deception and one-sided imposition is closed."
🔹"Today the old American order in West Asia has collapsed, and it is the Islamic countries of the region that must implement a new order."

Denmark makes strategic blunder by giving in to Trump's annexation threats over Greenland
Trump has announced an Arctic security pact with Denmark and Greenland after months of annexation threats, but key terms remain undisclosed. Analysts warn Denmark may be appeasing a president who views Greenland as a real estate asset, not a security shield. Given Trump's record of breaking deals and threatening allies, Europe risks turning Greenland into "another Palestine."
