LIVE: IRGC Falls Apart - Iran Talks REJECTED On Day One - Regime Infighting CHAOS

Iranian officials, despite traveling to Switzerland for 'negotiations,' declared they were not there to discuss the nuclear deal. They characterized their presence as for 'technical talks' to finalize a previously signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), effectively stalling any substantive progress on the nuclear issue. The US government, however, confirmed the 60-day clock for negotiations had started.

Iranian officials arrived in Switzerland and stated they were 'present but not involved' in negotiations, only there for 'technical talks' related to an MOU. The US confirmed the 60-day clock had begun.

The IRGC announced the 'closure' of the Strait of Hormuz, not through physical blockade, but by imposing new mandatory regulations. These require all vessels to submit passing requests 48 hours in advance, be vetted by the IRGC, and coordinate designated routes and schedules. This allows the IRGC to control passage and potentially deny access, effectively circumventing a US-imposed 60-day ceasefire on tolls.

A statement from the IRGC outlined new requirements for vessels, including 48-hour advance requests, vetting, and coordinated passage times to 'avoid delays' and ensure 'safe passage' through 'mine affected areas.'

A senior member of the Iranian parliament, Naban, publicly announced a 'counter-coup' by the Speaker of Parliament, Kalib, and his allies against the IRGC and the Supreme Leader. This follows an earlier 'coup' where the IRGC military sidelined the clerics. This public admission of deep internal division was so sensitive that state TV cut off the MP mid-broadcast, and the director-general of the news channel was subsequently fired and the MP threatened with prosecution.

Naban, a senior MP, announced a 'counter-coup' by Kalib against the IRGC on state TV. He was cut off, and IRIB later issued a statement announcing the director general's resignation and legal prosecution for the MP.

President Trump issued severe warnings to Iran, stating that if they close the Strait of Hormuz, they 'will not have a country' and Iranian officials in Switzerland 'will not even make it back to your effing country.' He threatened that the US could become the 'guardian angel' of the Strait, taking 20% of oil tolls and potentially blowing up Iranian forces if a deal is not reached.

President Trump's direct message: 'You close the straight of Homos and you will not have a country. You will not even make it back to your effing country.' He also threatened to 'blow the s out of them' and collect tolls.

Israel's Defense Minister, Ezra Katz, confirmed that Israel would not withdraw from its security zone in Lebanon, despite an announced ceasefire. He reiterated that IDF soldiers have no restrictions on acting to remove threats and that Israel would respond forcefully to any Hezbollah attacks, having already struck 300 terror targets and eliminated 100 militants in recent days.

Ezra Katz stated, 'Israel will not withdraw from the security zone in Lebanon.' Netanyahu instructed the IDF to 'respond forcefully to any Hezbollah attack' and confirmed 300 terror targets struck and 100 militants eliminated.
