🚨 JUST IN: US transfers crew of captured Iranian ship to Pakistan 🚨

The spokesperson for US Central Command has told the ABC broadcaster that crew members of the M/V Touska, which was captured in the Gulf of Oman last month, have been taken to Pakistan for repatriation to Iran.

Today, US forces completed the transfer of 22 crew members of M/V Touska to Pakistan for repatriation, Captain Tim Hawkins said.

Custody of Touska is currently being transferred back to its original ownership after the ship was intercepted and seized when attempting to violate the US naval blockade against Iran last month.

The US captured the Iranian container ship on April 20 in an attack that Tehran called an act of piracy. According to CENTCOM, six other passengers on board the ship were transferred to an unspecified regional country for repatriation last week. The six are believed to be family members of the crew.

🚨 JUST IN: Trump to review 14-point plan 🚨

US President Donald Trump says he will soon be reviewing the plan Iran has just sent to us, but does not think he can make a deal.

The comments come after Iran sent a 14-point plan to the US, calling for guarantees of non aggression, the lifting of a naval blockade and an end to the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it is on standby for a return to war with the US, saying a resumption of hostilities is likely, as evidence shows that the US is not committed to any agreements or treaties.

🚨 JUST IN: Trump administration seeks to turn War Powers Resolution 🚨

Bruce Fein, a US constitutional and international law expert and former US associate deputy attorney general, spoke to Al Jazeera about the limits of the War Powers Resolution to constrain a US president determined to go to war without congressional approval.

Fein said the resolution never says anywhere that the 60 day deadline to receive congressional approval for military action stops if there’s a ceasefire.

On Thursday, a Trump administration official said on the eve of the 60 day limit to wage war without Congress’s approval that the war in Iran has ended due to the ceasefire that began in early April.

That means, according to reports, President Trump does not deem it necessary to seek congressional approval for military action against Iran.

🚨 JUST IN: America’s puppet bases to blame for insecurity Iran’s supreme leader 🚨

Khamenei has also blamed the US military presence in the Middle East for insecurity in the region which has resulted from the US-Israel attacks on Iran and Tehran targeting countries in the region.

Iran’s supreme leader said that it has been proven that the presence of American foreigners and their nesting in the lands of the Persian Gulf is the most important factor in insecurity in the region.

America’s puppet bases do not even have the strength and capacity to ensure their own security, let alone that there is any hope that America will provide security to its dependents and American loving people in the region he said.

It’s not going to deter me from winning the war in Iran. I don’t know if that had anything to do with it, I really don’t think so, based on what we know, Trump told reporters.
