Al Jazeera English is reporting that the United States has implemented a naval blockade of Iran, a move aimed at pressuring Tehran to accept the terms of a ceasefire. Iran's armed forces have denounced the blockade as an illegal act of piracy. In Israel, public opinion is reportedly divided on the US-Iran ceasefire, with a poll indicating a majority oppose the deal and expect fighting to resume. Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have released the seized assets of women's national football team captain Zahra Ghanbari after she withdrew an asylum claim in Australia and returned to Iran. Al Jazeera English also noted that analysts suggest Russia's gains in the Sea of Azov are minimal, with Ukraine's steel plants now in ruins. Additionally, the outlet reported that U.S. President Trump deleted an image of himself depicted as a savior figure after facing backlash from church leaders and conservatives.
