TEHRAN - Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Mohammad Baqeri issued a statement on Tuesday saying Iran is capable of adopting "any strategy" in the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf region.
Iran has threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz if it cannot export its crude oil as the Trump administration, which withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal in May, is reintroducing economic sanctions including oil embargo against Iran.
Strait of Hormuz is a highly important strategic location for international trade. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates a record 18.5 million barrels per day of sea-borne oil passed through it in 2016.
General Baqeri said Iran has always "guaranteed security of shipping in the Persian Gulf and can adopt any strategy in this region".
He went on to say that U.S. President Donald Trump, “as the most hateful figure in the world”, is under the illusion that economic pressure on Tehran can cause division among the Iranians.
“During the past four decades, the brave and revolutionary Iranian nation has shown that they make extra efforts in the ups and downs and turn the shortcomings into opportunities and they also foil plots of enemies, especially the criminal U.S., the fake Zionist regime and their allies through unity and integrity,” the...
Elsewhere, he said that Iran has never started a war and has always helped maintain regional peace and stability.
Rouhani also said Iran has control over other strategic places other than the Strait of Hormuz.
“One who understands politics even a little bit wouldn’t say ‘we will stop Iran’s oil exports’,” he said.
Facebook announced on Monday that it had adjusted the way users see articles on its site to reduce what it called “click bait” — items that tempt readers with a beguiling headline, but don’t deliver much more.
The move, announced on Facebook’s news blog, is the latest development in a battle between the company, which can drive an enormous amount of traffic to news sites, and those sites, which try to use the Facebook algorithm that ranks articles to their advantage.
Facebook says its algorithm will now consider how long users spend reading an article as a way of judging the importance. The company will also examine how many users discuss or share an article.
Facebook, which has 829 million daily active users worldwide, has the power to make or break some sites with such seemingly minor changes.
A previous switch in its algorithm dried up traffic to some so-called viral sites, which specialize in lists, and in online memes.
Between Bob Woodward’s new book and the anonymous New York Times op-ed last week from a senior administration official, it’s clear that many in Donald Trump’s orbit disregard his orders. It’s not how the presidency is supposed to work, but in this White House, some officials reportedly see the insubordination as a nece...
Indeed, the Washington Post noted the other day that when Reince Priebus was Trump’s chief of staff, the president would direct him to fire someone or implement a specific policy. Priebus would pretend to go along, but tell Trump it would happen “next week.” By that point, “Trump often would have forgotten” about the i...
What’s less understood is how long people in Trump’s orbit have been doing the same thing. The New York Daily News published an op-ed yesterday from Barbara Res, who was a Trump Organization executive for nearly two decades, and who admitted that she learned to ignore some of his worst orders.
He would say whatever came into his head. Ordering an underling to do something that was impossible gave Trump the opportunity to castigate a subordinate and also blame him for anything that “went wrong” in connection with the unperformed order later. A Trump-style win-win.
Trump did this with outrageous or just plain stupid ideas, both legal and illegal. Sometimes those lines were blurred.
When he asked me to do something that could not be done, I often fought back, but always at a cost. Sometimes, I just did what he asked, planning for the necessary fix or damage control later.
But many times, I played along with him and then didn’t carry out his order.
Res shared an especially striking anecdote about an architect who showed him plans for an elevator’s interior – and the future president’s opposition to braille being included alongside the buttons.
The architect, Res said, later resigned.
As best as I can tell, the claims in the op-ed haven’t been independently verified. They do, however, seem quite believable in light of everything we’ve seen and heard from this president.

Penfield's Town Board will consider purchasing the Clark House property using money from the town's general fund rather than being financed by a bond.
The Clark House used to be a popular restaurant on the Shadow Pines property.
Penfield town officials are proposing to save residents some money with an alternate plan to purchase a property linked to the recent Shadow Pines vote.
Town Supervisor Tony LaFountain has proposed that the town buy the Clark House parcel using money from the town's general fund rather than borrowing money through a bond.
This option is available to the Town Board because sales tax revenue for 2017 was higher than projected, LaFountain said.
In February, Penfield residents voted overwhelmingly to spend $3.65 million to purchase the 212-acre parcel, which included the former Shadow Pines golf course and adjacent Clark House.
The vote brought nearly 7,000 people to the polls. Both propositions — to finance the $3.35 million purchase of 206 acres of the former golf course and to fund the projected $260,000 purchase of the Clark House and surrounding 6 acres — were approved with an 80 percent approval rating.
According to LaFountain, purchasing the Clark House parcel outright will benefit Penfield taxpayers by lowering the overall bonding amount, reducing financing costs and lowering the projected per household payback cost from an estimated $11 per year for 30 years to between $9 and $10 per year. He shared the news in a p...
A direct purchase of the Clark House would eliminate IRS tax implications that could restrict future use of the property.
The town will bond the purchase of the remaining 206 acres of the defunct golf course as originally planned, which is scheduled to occur before April's end, he said.
A resolution on the purchase will be considered by Penfield Town Board members at a regular board meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Once the town closes on the Clark House property, town employees will assess and maintain the building and the land immediately surrounding it.
"There's been a lot of interest in the parcel," LaFountain said. "We've been approached about people wanting to open a restaurant, to use it as a party house and to use the barn as a wedding venue."
"We want to close on the property first, then do some basic maintenance and landscaping, it needs a spring cleaning of sorts," he said. "Once that's complete, we'll entertain what's the best use for the parcel and what makes the most and best sense for the property as a whole."
Until the town closes on either parcel, the parcel remains private property. For safety reasons, work needs to be completed at the property before the former golf course can be opened to public use.
The former golf course acreage will not be mowed or maintained, but town workers will clean up the property to make it safe for public use.
Sam Darnold will get thrown into the fire in his NFL debut. The New York Jets are counting on Darnold to become a bright star and carry them back to prominence.
The third overall pick in the draft was the named the team’s No. 1 quarterback by coach Todd Bowles at the end of training camp. The former USC star will face the Detroit Lions on Monday night at Ford Field.
The 21-year-old Darnold will be the youngest quarterback to start an opener since the AFL/NFL merger in 1970. Darnold beat out veterans Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater, who was subsequently traded to New Orleans.
Darnold appeared in three preseason games, completing 64 percent of his pass attempts, including two touchdowns, while getting intercepted once.
Coming off a pair of 5-11 seasons, the Jets need Darnold to live up to his draft status. He’s being asked to do it without top personnel. The Jets are likely to be down multiple starters, including wide receiver Jermaine Kearse. Kearse led the Jets with 65 receptions last season.
The Lions are also entering a new era.
Former New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia has replaced Jim Caldwell as head coach with expectations he’ll finally be the one to lead them to playoff success. The Lions, who failed to qualify last season with a 9-7 record, haven’t won a postseason game since 1991.
Patricia is familiar with many of the Jets’ players and schemes after preparing New England’s defense twice a season to face them.
Figuring out what the Jets will do with a rookie quarterback adds a layer of mystery to that preparation.
Patricia is familiar with Bowles from their time in the AFC East. But Patricia is anticipating a new approach from the Jets and in particular the offense. Darnold, the Lions sense, will roll out of the pocket and attempt to set up misdirection running plays.
The Jets’ defense is not certain to have outside linebacker Josh Martin or safety Marcus Maye. Neither practiced Thursday.
