Trump: Without the United States, NATO is just a paper force. They refused to participate in the fight to stop a nuclear Iran. Now that this fight has been won militarily, with no great danger to them, they complain about the high price of oil they are forced to pay, but refuse to contribute to opening the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver which is the sole and only reason for these exorbitant prices. It was so easy for them, with so little risk. Cowards, and we will not forget.

French President Macron on Iran: Six months ago, we were assured that everything had been destroyed and the situation was settled. Clearly, that was not the case. Without international inspectors to verify materials, research, and hidden sites, the issue is simply not serious. There will always be skills and potentially concealed facilities in the absence of lasting oversight. A few weeks of military strikes cannot resolve the nuclear issue in the long term. Without a diplomatic and technical agreement, the situation could deteriorate again in the months or years to come. The same reasoning applies to ballistic capabilities: they must be controlled through negotiation.

Iranian military spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed long-term to the United States and Israel.

If they want to talk, they just need to call.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Asim Munir in Islamabad. US negotiators expected in Islamabad, but Iran refuses direct talks

The Iranian Foreign Minister said: The blockade of Iranian ports is an act of war and therefore a violation of the ceasefire.

Iran knows how to neutralize restrictions, how to defend its interests, and how to resist intimidation.

Military planners from more than 30 countries will hold two-day discussions in London from Wednesday to advance a mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and develop detailed plans, the British government said.

God willing, in unity and reason, Iran will emerge victorious from this trial

Our warships will remain in the area to ensure compliance and full implementation of the agreement.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi insisted, in separate talks with his Turkish, Iraqi, and Egyptian counterparts, on the need for a complete halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, adding that the United States had the responsibility to implement the framework agreement aimed at ending the war.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: The US President is absolutely right. Whoever ensures the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz must be compensated for this service. Iran has always been the guardian of the Strait and will remain so forever. 20% is obviously excessive. We will be fair.

Trump says the United States is reimposing the blockade against Iran. He declares that America will become the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz and will levy a 20% tax on all goods transiting through it.

On the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, US Central Command forces launched additional strikes against Iran to further reduce its ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The United States holds Iran responsible for its recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating this vital international waterway.

Iranian Ghalibaf: America still hasn't understood that intimidation and breaking promises have a price. Let's be clear: whoever strikes exposes themselves to retaliation. No need to agitate unnecessarily, otherwise you'll sink deeper: the Strait of Hormuz will only open with Iranian arrangements, not under the pressure of US threats.

Chinese Foreign Ministry: We call on Washington and Tehran to respect the memorandum of understanding and to avoid using force.

Iranian Foreign Ministry: The US attacks violate the first article of the memorandum of understanding, which stipulates the cessation of military operations. The violation of our agreements at Hormuz and the continuation of Israeli strikes in Lebanon render the memorandum of understanding ineffective. Our armed forces will target the source and launch point of the aggression and attack against our territory.

According to a statement from the Kuwaiti army, Kuwait is currently the target of Iranian drone and missile attacks, while Kuwaiti air defenses are working to mitigate the threat.

Zelensky claims to have struck ships in the Caspian Sea, including an Iranian merchant vessel, causing the death of an Iranian sailor. Iran condemns this attack, calling it a violation of the UN Charter, and accuses Israel of being behind it to further involve Europe in the conflict.

The chairman of the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament said: Any attack on Iran always has a price, and this remains true today; the United States and Israel are fully aware of this.

Trump on the Houthis: The Houthis are behaving very badly. I thought they had learned their lesson a year ago, when we bombed them heavily before stopping at their request. They stayed quiet for a long time, but now they’re back—probably on Iran’s orders—attacking Saudi Arabia and deliberately trying to drive up oil prices, perhaps ahead of the U.S. elections. Iran is a country in decline, with no navy or air force, the world’s worst economy, and 301% inflation. Someone should explain to the Houthis that I am not a candidate in these elections. I’ve already won a landslide victory, but I’ll still be here after the elections—and I’ll never forget!
