Our conditions for reopening the strait are clear, as is our position on other issues. At present, the only issue is the Strait of Hormuz; reopening the Strait of Hormuz is also contingent on meeting our conditions that we conveyed to the other party.

The candidacy window opened on July 14, under the previous law that prevented renewal except after the end of a full term; consequently the Constitutional Council later annulled the text that explicitly preserved the current president's right to run for a second term.

The Constitutional Council annulled the extension without annulling the final text of the law that allowed the renewal of the university president's term, once only. This renewal does not mean automatic extension; it requires the approval of the Council of Ministers by a two-thirds majority under the third paragraph of Article 65 of the Constitution, since the decisions of the Constitutional Council are binding on all authorities under Article 13 of its founding law.

At Tombigbee, I’ve hired approximately 50 people in the last six years for this industry. The internet, in my mind, is a commodity. Service is not. Service requires people; it requires people like these youth behind me.
