BREAKING: Iranian officials reject Trump's claim that Tehran is "begging for a deal" — stating it is the Trump administration that has repeatedly asked Iran to hold back and requested talks, and that it is "very unprofessional" to have to debunk every time Trump gives a public statement, per Iranian media.
The rejection comes after Trump claimed: "Iran called a short while ago and said that they want to make a deal."
Iranian officials have made clear the reverse is true: it is Washington that has been pleading for restraint and requesting dialogue, not Tehran. They have expressed frustration at having to repeatedly correct Trump's public statements, calling it "very unprofessional."

The Ukrainian turkey shoot of Russian tankers (some of them attempting to resupply Crimea) in the Azov Sea. 21 vessels, including 19 tankers, hit in two days. This is what happens when the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s warships are too scared to leave port. (Also an illustration of why modern drone warfare makes it impossible to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.)

Not certain how moving ships out of the Gulf was a breech of the ceasefire terms ..
seems a bit excessive to claim that this was a clear breech
