In message exchanges with him that she shared with USA TODAY, the sailor said service members on the ship eat when they can, and they divvy up food evenly when one person gets more than the others.

These are some of the diplomatic activities that have been happening this week.

13th April: Lavrov-Araghchi phone call + Lavrov-UAE FM phone call

14th April: Xi Jinping meets UAE Crown Prince + Lavrov meets with Wang Yi, both in Beijing

15th April: Wang Yi-Araghchi phone call

Seems like China and Russia are putting pressure on the most recalcitrant GCC member (UAE) to get in line and accommodate Iran's conditions for ending the war.

There's even more activities that I haven't mentioned like Pakistani delegations going to Iran + Saudi Arabia.

Unfortunately I think Trump will probably attack Iran again and blow up all the diplomatic progress being made behind the scenes.
