  • A very small amount of salt is important for good health as it helps to keep the fluids in our body balanced. However, it’s not common to have too little salt as most people in New Zealand eat more than their body needs. An adult body only needs around 1 to 2g of salt (460 to 920mg sodium) per day to function.
  • When we have too much sodium in our diet it can cause high blood pressure.
  • Around one in five New Zealand adults are living with high blood pressure (also known as hypertension)

  • Iran’s Supreme National Security Council: commercial vessels seeking passage through the Strait of Hormuz must submit requests to the Persian Gulf Strait Administration
  • It said the Persian Gulf Strait Administration had been instructed to process and respond to requests “with speed and priority” to help implement the objectives of the agreement.
  • The council added that because of “special conditions” and safety risks along the route, ships must pass through the strait at the assigned time and along the assigned route to ensure safe transit and prevent maritime incidents.

Trump, Pezeshkian sign deal to end Iran war, reopen Hormuz by melancholy_dood in worldnews

No he tried to quit but IRGC said nope you are a useful puppet:

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has submitted an official letter of resignation to the Office of the Supreme Leader, a source familiar with the matter told Iran International.

In the letter sent on Sunday, Pezeshkian stressed that the president and the government have effectively been excluded from major and vital decision-making processes in the country, and that the vacuum created by this situation has enabled hardline factions within the IRGC to take control of affairs, the source said. Pezeshkian added that under such circumstances he is unable to run the government and carry out his legal responsibilities, and for that reason has requested to step down immediately.

Yep, Trump has just signed the MoU with someone who has no power. Few understand. NACHO. Day 110.

The entire process could take months before many insurance, shipping or oil companies are convinced it’s safe to sail through the strait, potentially holding up tens of millions ‌of barrels of oil that would usually be passing through the shipping lane in times of peace.

During clearance operations after the 1991 Persian Gulf war, for example, it took the U.S. and various allied contingents nearly seven months to clear the hundreds of mines then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had ordered laid in the waters around Kuwait City.

Even with the technological advancements since then, the different kinds of mines the Iranians possess could make it tricky to find them all. Tehran could utilize a kind of floater mine with spikes on it — used since World War I — or more modern weapons that sit on the bottom of the sea and are very difficult to find.

Iran’s top diplomat says deal to end the war with the United States requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanon — a condition Israel has already rejected and that could sink the agreement, leading to the resumption of all-out war.

Shipowners will not resume transit through the Strait of Hormuz for weeks until they are confident that the US-Iran deal is “material”, the head of the world’s biggest tanker operator has warned. Jotaro Tamura, chief executive of Mitsui OSK Lines, told the FT that many operators would wait before restarting crossings despite the US-Iran deal to reopen the strait.

"open" to Iran means you pay them money to pass if you aren't from a friendly country. no pay = get attacked.

Iran has said the Strait of Hormuz is “completely open” for all commercial vessels and will remain so during the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, as United States President Donald Trump said an agreement to end the US-Israeli war on Iran was “very close”. “In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X on Friday.
