  "account": "A paramilitary leader from Iran has pledged to release video footage of the country's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen in public since March. According to Iranian state media, the footage would serve to humiliate those who oppose the Iranian people. Iran and Oman are reportedly nearing an agreement on new shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, which could potentially reopen the waterway. The deal aims to set out the new shipping lanes for use once the United States fulfills its conditions for the strait's reopening. However, Israel has rejected the US President's peace plan for Gaza, and will not withdraw from the territory until Hamas fully disarms. Iran has denied involvement in talks with the US, stating it will not initiate such discussions as long as Washington fails to adhere to an interim deal signed in June.",
  "summary": "Video of Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei who has not been seen in public since he assumed the role in March, has been promised by a paramilitary leader.",
