In Pursuit of the Modulus of the Riemann Zeta Function in the Critical Strip

Notation: $\zeta(s) = \zeta(x+it)$

In http://dml.cz/bitstream/handle/10338.dmlcz/136881/MathSlov_53-2003-2_3.pdf the following inequality was proven:

$$ \left|\zeta\left(\frac 1 2 - d+it\right)\right| \ge \left| \zeta\left( \frac 1 2 + d + it \right) \right| \text{ for } 0\le d \le \frac 1 2 \text{ and } t \ge 2\pi+1. $$

Letting $d = 1/2$, we get:

$$ |\zeta(it) \ge |\zeta(1+it)|. $$

The question concerns the relation between $|\zeta(1+it)|$ and $|\zeta(x+it)|$ . Specifically, is the inequality below true:

$$ |\zeta(x+it)| \le |\zeta(1+it)| $$

The above inequality will complete the ordering of the three moduli as follows:

$$ |\zeta(x+it)| \le |\zeta(1+it)| \le |\zeta(it)| $$

Thank you for your support.
