Iranian officials claim that the US attack on Iran “will not fail to respond”

On 12 July, according to Al Jazeera, Ali Safari, spokesman adviser to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He stated that the recent United States strike “will not fail to respond” and accused the United States of failing to honour its commitments under the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed on 16 June. Safari maintains that the memorandum places responsibility for “Future arrangements in the Straits of Hormuz” on Iran and is to be developed in consultation with Oman and other countries. “The southern shipping routes opened under United States pressure have hindered the implementation of the Agreement and have created serious security risks, including the possibility of collisions. It was irresponsible to have a ship shut down the navigation system through the route, he said. “The United States must choose between complying with the agreement it signed 23 days ago or completely abandoning its commitments. Iran is much stronger than you think and prepared for war,” he added。

Adam Back, Michael Saylor successively wrote against the BIP110 filter fork proposal

On 12 July, Chief Executive Officer Adam Back and the founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, made a statement against the BIP 110 proposal. Adam Back states that the essence of BIP 110 is an attempt to discipline the behaviour of others by means of a consensus layer, which is contrary to the centralized, unlicensed core attributes of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Technical Consensus Mechanism itself is an efficient immune system, and any change that has not been strictly validated by hundreds of developers cannot pass, calling on BIP 110 supporters to understand the logic of Bitcoin’s operation in depth, rather than to create a separate branch. By contrast, Michael Saylor suggests that the real risk lies in the precedent of BIP 110 escalating a garbage-information contest into a consensus change that could invalidate some of the current valid transactions. BIP 110 is a bitcoin improvement proposal aimed at filtering or limiting certain types of data embedded transactions (e.g. OP RETURN output) in the chain by modifying the default relay strategy, which its proponents believe will help to curb the flow of information on the chain。

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed

On 12 July, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy announced in the early hours of the 12th day that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed from any vessel. The statement stated that the Iraqi side had previously declared that the interference of foreign forces in the affairs of the Straits of Hormuz and the illegal demarcation of the ship's route would attract a “resolute response”. In view of the insecurity caused by the illegal intervention of foreign forces, the Strait of Hormuz was immediately closed until further notice and until United States intervention in the area ceased. The statement stated that hours earlier, several vessels had attempted to sail only along routes that had not been approved by the Iraqi side and had ignored the Iraqi side ' s warnings and warnings to modify the course. One of the vessels closed the automatic identification system, was hit by a warning shot and stopped. The statement also warned that if the United States were to launch a new attack on Iran under the pretext of the incident, the Iraqi side would respond with vigour and strike at more United States bases in the Middle East.
