UNCONFIRMED REPORT: CHINESE CARGO PLANES ALLEGEDLY LAND IN IRAN AFTER GOING DARK

Reports claim that within 48 hours, four Chinese cargo aircraft switched off their transponders and landed in Iran, allegedly carrying arms and ammunition.

The flights reportedly went dark mid-route before entering Iranian airspace.

This comes shortly after China’s leader reportedly assured President Trump that Beijing would not transfer weapons to Iran.

No official confirmation yet on what these aircraft were carrying.

Developing story.

The back and forth of propaganda is crazy is this. Trump: The strait is open and Iran and the US are currently removing the remaining sea mines. Iran: We are shutting the Strait down. Iran just needs to admit that this is over

The cruise ship saying "frick it, I'm sailing through this MF'er" is the icing on the cake.

The Islamic Republic is showing a MAJOR internal fracture at the highest levels in real time.

After Araghchi and Trump both claimed the Strait of Hormuz is “open,” IRGC-linked Fars News is now openly questioning officials, warning of confusion inside the country, and demanding explanations for the silence.

At the same time, IRGC messaging via state TV makes clear that passage is still controlled, restricted, and under military oversight.

Across the regime’s support base, pro-Basij and IRGC-aligned channels are fuming, with visible anger over this so-called agreement to open the strait.

This exposes a direct contradiction between the diplomatic narrative and the military reality.

Even regime-aligned media is now signaling that something doesn’t add up.

If I was that cruise ship DJ, I would be blasting this for the passengers as we went through and rename it the “Strait of Hormuz Vice” theme song. Let’s ride!

You'd have to be utterly crazy to hop on that cruise ship right now.

The situation is volatile. Iranian news sources connected to IRGC and Islamic Republic are panicking and looking for explanations.

Araghchi suddenly dropped the bomb that Hormuz is fully open and no one has denied President Trump's claims regarding nuclear recessions, nor Araghchi's claims.

Whatever is going on, the cohesion of Islamic Republic is broken.

IRGC-linked media outlets like Fars News are now openly attacking regime FM Araghchi for declaring the Strait of Hormuz open.

There is widespread fury within their ranks. Many IRGC figures do not approve of making any kind of deal with the US.

Very, very interesting.

Although I don't believe that X post to be real, imagine that. We go from bombing them to establishing a military base in the country, with the blessing mind you, in said country.

Looks like the word is out after that cruise ship just ran on through, more ships fall into the strait.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun:

"Our goal is the complete liberation of all Lebanese land, Israeli withdrawal, the return of the displaced to their homes, and the application of state control."

"To the adventurers who are endangering the fate of Lebanon and the lives of the Lebanese, I say: enough. Only the state project in Lebanon is the strongest, the most enduring, and the safest for everyone."

"We are no longer a card in anyone's pocket and an arena for anyone's wars, and we will never be like that again."

"This negotiation is not weakness, not retreat, and not concession, but a decision stemming from the strength of our belief in our right, our concern for our people, and our refusal to die for anyone other than Lebanon."

"The negotiations do not mean and will never mean a waiver of any right, no compromise on any principle, and no violation of state sovereignty."
