Iranian media and citizens are expressing outrage and confusion over the lack of clear official statements from Tehran following President Trump's repeated claims about a deal and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Fars News reports that society has been plunged into confusion by the Foreign Minister's unexpected tweet and Trump's heated rhetoric, compounded by the absolute and unusual silence of the Supreme National Security Council and the negotiating team. Public opinion is demanding that officials at least explain the reason for this 'lack of explanation' to prevent hostile narratives from filling the information vacuum. International analysts reportedly interpret Trump's recent behavior as a sign of U.S. frustration in dealing with Iran's complex situation.
