The IRGC statement acts as a hardline signal to maintain leverage during these diplomatic negotiations, ensuring that any potential US actions (like a blockade) are viewed as major escalations despite the current truce."

These are parallel reports of the same ceasefire/de-escalation event, with the new event adding specific context regarding munitions constraints."
