​بریتانیا ارسال واسطه برای میانجیگری به ایران را تکذیب کرد

​بریتانیا ارسال واسطه برای میانجیگری به ایران را تکذیب کرد

خبرگزاری رویترز به نقل از منابع بریتانیایی نوشت لندن هیچ واسطه ای برای میانجیگری به ایران نفرستاده‌است. این خبر درحالی مخابره شده‌است که پبش از این یک مقام مسئول ایرانی خبر داده بود که لندن برای میانجیگری در مورد توقیف کشتی بریتانیایی واسطه ای به تهران فرستاده‌است.
به گزارش الشرق الاوسط، این منبع همچنین گفته‌است: «اطلاعی از ارسال هرگونه نمایندگانی به عنوان واسطه یا میانجیگر به ایران نداریم».
محمد محمدی گلپایگانی رئیس دفتر رهبر ایران امروز با لحنی تمسخرآمیز به دخالت‌های بریتانیا در امور ایران در دوره استعمار اشاره کرده بود.
خبرگزاری تسنیم از قول او گفته بود: «کشوری که زمانی در ایران وزیر و وکیل تعیین می‌کرد، کارش به جایی رسیده که واسطه می‌فرستند و خواهش می‌کنند کشتی را آزاد کنید».
او اطلاعات بیشتری دربارهٔ این «واسطه» نداده‌است.
تنش میان ایران و بریتانیا پس از توقیف نفتکش بریتانیایی «استینا ایمپیرو» توسط ایران در روز جمعه گذشته به اوج خود رسیده‌است.
در همین رابطه، حسن روحانی رئیس‌جمهور ایران، چهارشنبه دوم مرداد در جلسهٔ هیئت دولت گفت که حکومت ایران مدافع مذاکرهٔ عادلانه و منصفانه است، اما، «حاضر نیست به اسم مذاکره کنار میز تسلیم بنشیند.»
حسن روحانی گفته‌است اگر برخی از کشورهای اروپایی از «اقدامات خلاف» خود از جمله توقیف کشتی متعلق به ایران در جبل طارق دست بردارند ایران پاسخ متناسبی به آن‌ها خواهد داد.
او در همین حال گفت اگر در فرصت ۶۰ روزه بعدی اروپا دست به اقدامی در جهت حفظ برجام نزند، ایران گام سوم کاهش تعهدات برجامی خود را به‌اجرا خواهد گذاشت.
روحانی بار دیگر تأکید کرده‌است که کاهش تعهدات تهران به برجام موقتی است و چنانچه طرف‌های مقابل به تعهدات خود عمل کنند رژیم ایران نیز کاهش تعهداتش را نسبت به این توافق متوقف می‌کند.
قرار است یکشنبه بیست و هشتم ژوئیه کشورهای اروپایی امضاکنندهٔ برجام به اضافهٔ چین و روسیه در وین با نمایندگان تهران برای «نجات» برجام با یکدیگر ملاقات و گفتگو کنند. این نشست که به ریاست اروپا برگزار خواهد شد مسائل مربوط به اجرای همه جانبهٔ این توافق را بررسی خواهد کرد.
روحانی در ادامه تأکید کرد: «البته در این زمینه کشورهایی هم واسطه هستند و مکاتبات و تماس‌هایی در حال انجام است و همه بدانند که هرگز فرصت مذاکره را از دست نخواهیم داد.»
از سوی دیگر، شرکت استینا بالک، مالک نفتکش توقیف شده بریتانیایی در ایران گفته‌است که برای اولین بار از زمان توقیف این کشتی در روز جمعه گذشته توانسته با خدمه آن تماس مستقیم برقرار کند.
این شرکت روز چهارشنبه ۲۴ ژوییه (دوم مرداد) در بیانیه‌ای اعلام کرد که در این تماس که سه‌شنبه شب برقرار شده، ناخدای کشتی گفته‌است که خدمه همه سالم هستند و «همکاری خوبی با نفرات ایرانی حاضر در کشتی دارند.»
بریتانیا ۱۳ تیر / ۴ ژوئیه نفتکش «گریس ۱» متعلق به ایران را که در حال انتقال دو میلیون و ۱۰۰ هزار بشکه نفت خام به بندر «بانیاس» در سوریه بود، به دلیل دور زدن تحریم‌های اتحادیه اروپا علیه سوریه توقیف کرد.
دادگاه عالی جبل‌طارق ۲۸ تیر / ۱۹ ژوئیه توقیف نفتکش «گریس ۱» را تا ۸ شهریور / ۳۰ اوت سال جاری تمدید کرد.
روز جمعه ۲۸ تیر (۱۹ ژوییه) چهار قایق سپاه پاسداران به همراه یک هلی‌کوپتر، این نفتکش را که با پرچم بریتانیا و ۲۳ خدمه در حال عبور از تنگه هرمز بود، توقیف کردند.
ایران می‌گوید این نفتکش به دلیل «رعایت نکردن قوانین و مقررات بین‌المللی دریایی» توقیف شده، اما بریتانیا این اتهام را رد کرده و اقدام ایران را تلافی‌جویانه خوانده‌است.

President Donald Trump secretly flew out of last month's NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, on an alternate military aircraft while the White House made it appear that the Republican president was flying on Air Force One, according to a report published by The Washington Post on Monday.

The Post said the operation was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat against Trump. The ruse was carried out as journalists and some White House staff members were led to believe they were on the same plane as the president as he began his journey back to Washington from the annual gathering of NATO country leaders.

The Post cited material reviewed by the newspaper, a US official familiar with the operation and another person with knowledge of the president’s travel. The Associated Press has not independently confirmed the report.

Trump had flown to the summit in a white and navy-blue jet. But ahead of departing Türkiye, he said he would fly partway home on an older-model baby blue Air Force One plane instead.

The president at the time said the new luxury jet was being flown out ahead of his departure from Ankara to give some US troops based in eastern England a chance to check out the new Air Force One.

In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras ahead of the plane flying to Royal Air Force Mildenhall in the United Kingdom.

However, according to the Post report, after boarding the legacy Air Force One jet, he was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies. Trump flew to Mildenhall on that smaller jet.

The White House did not respond directly to questions about the Post report of the secret operation to whisk Trump out of the country on a third aircraft, or the reported elaborate ruse to make it appear he was on the baby blue Air Force One jet flying to Mildenhall.

“As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats,” White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement.

The US Secret Service declined to comment. The Air Force, which maintains the fleet of executive travel aircraft, referred questions to the White House.

As Trump Media Scraps Some Businesses, It's Doubling Down on Truth Social

The president's media company has tried its hand at a half-dozen new lines of business to lift its stock, but nothing has worked.

Now it's getting back to its roots.

In a conference call with investors Monday, the company behind Truth Social said it will be unwinding much of its expansion and doubling down on its original media business by selling a form of White House access, a move that has raised big ethical questions among Democrats and government watchdogs, said The Associated Press.

Trump started Truth Social after he was kicked off Twitter and Facebook, but the two reinstated him more than three years ago, so the company has had to transform itself. Instead of a “free speech” forum, it now acts more like a “hear it here first” site, a second White House press office where people get scoops from the president on everything from the Iran war to tariffs to the future of the US central bank.

But shares of the parent company, Trump Media & Technology, kept falling so it decided to become more than a media company, and branched into unrelated industries like online betting, finance, investment funds, buying and storing bitcoin and nuclear energy.

Now it's returning to its original mission, with a twist: It's offering a special new service that grants fast access to President Trump's posts for a fee.

The new business could double or triple revenue

In a conference call with investors, the company's new chief executive, Kevin McGurn, said it had already signed up several high speed trading firms, each paying between $60,000 and $100,000 a month.

“We’re in the early innings,” said McGurn, noting that the potential market included data center companies, news organizations and developers of large language models, not just traders, and he was talking to them all.

McGurn has rejected the idea that the new business is an ethics quagmire as good-government groups have said, noting that other social media companies provide a similar service. As for the White House, it denies conflicts even exist between Trump the president and Trump the businessman where his private interests may influence his public policy.

Traders on Wall Street can make big money if they get White House news faster and so are signing up — 10 in the week since the service began, which may seem like a tiny number but translates into a major boost for the company. The monthly customers collectively are paying as much as $7 million and $12 million annually — two to three times the revenue the company took in for all its businesses last year.

Trump Media needs the money — and a lot more.

It's lost more than $1 billion since the start of last year, and its earnings report released Monday for the three months ended June 30 showed relief is not on the horizon. It lost another $238 million, though much of that was due to paper losses from the plunging value of its bitcoin holdings.

Time is running out

The clock is ticking to fix the company.

Trump Media depends partly on outside funding, specifically $1 billion raised from lenders with a special agreement that allows them to get paid back early. They can demand the company buy back their convertible notes on Nov. 30, 18 months before the loans mature.

That cashout date is just after the November midterms, which could impact the company should Democrats get control of Congress. Several current members, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, say they will hold formal investigations of Trump's businesses, including Trump Media, should they take over.

A third deadline is farther out, but the most consequential — the end of Trump's presidency.

Trump is a big draw for the platform's users, but it's not clear how many will read his posts after he leaves office, much less why traders will pay as much $1.2 million a year for sneak peeks at his posts if he's no longer able to declare on the site that the Strait of Hormuz is open or that he's hiking tariffs on dozens of countries.

Would Vance in the White House help Truth Social? The special, high-speed service, called Truth API, includes posts from other top posters on the site, but no one comes near the president in popularity. He has 13 million followers. The second biggest poster, his son, Donald Jr., has 7.5 million.

Other heavily followed posters include Trump administration members who also may fall in popularity once out of office, including FBI director Kash Patel and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A wild card is JD Vance, who will be out of his vice presidential job in 2028 but, if he runs for president and wins, may continue to post on the site where he has five million followers.

The other business line that McGurn is choosing to hold onto is nuclear fusion, a technology still not commercially available but that is getting a big boost by the current administration.

The US government has a helping hand In June, the US Department of Energy released a “road map” committing to government funding to speed the development of nuclear fusion as a national priority and calling for public-private partnerships.

Despite the help, investors still aren't convinced Trump Media has a rosy future.

After closing at about $62 shortly after it went public in 2024, the stock has plunged into the single digits, wiping out billions in stock market value.

On Monday, Trump Media dove again, down 8% to $9.39 a share.
