🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 — Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf: U.S. threats do not affect our people, and we have proven that this is not just a slogan but a reality.

– If America wants to find a way out, it must earn the trust of the Iranian people.

– We will not submit to any threat—let them test our resolve again, and we will teach them a greater lesson.

– If the Americans want war, we will fight; and if they act rationally, we will respond in kind.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian via X:

If the U.S. government abandons its hegemonic approach and respects the rights of the Iranian people, there will certainly be ways to reach an agreement.

I also extend my greetings to the members of the negotiating delegation, especially my dear colleague Dr. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, for their efforts.

🇨🇳🚫🇯🇵🔴 The Middle East War.. Facing a New World

China will never allow Japan to become the "Israel of Asia" and terrorize the region again.

Japan's problem is not that China no longer considers it "important", but that it still imagines that American protection can magnify its actual geopolitical weight.

China doesn't care if Tokyo flatters itself.

It just demands that Japan stop causing problems, stop provoking, and stop treating borrowed strength as national courage.

Asia has remained more stable than the Middle East for one reason:
China exists.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 — Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi via X:

In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.

But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.

Zero lessons earned

Good will begets good will.
Enmity begets enmity.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is considering a limited bombing campaign against Iran, but it is unlikely because it could destabilize the region and lead to a prolonged conflict. The United States is also attempting to impose a temporary blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, while urging its allies to take on greater responsibility.

🇺🇸❌🇻🇦✝ - Donald Trump attacks Pope Leo on Truth social:

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

🇮🇷⚡️🇺🇸 If this report from Barak Ravid is accurate, these aren’t negotiations, these are humiliating surrender terms designed to strip Iran of its dignity and defense capabilities.

Iran has every right to spit on these humiliating surrender terms and reject them with contempt.

These countries are also holding consultations with Washington regarding extending the fragile truce that has lasted for two weeks.

The Trump administration does not intend to make any concessions. Vance has already stated that Washington presented Tehran with its “best and final offer” and does not intend to revise it.

The Americans believed that what they failed to achieve on the battlefield could at least be partially achieved at the negotiating table.

Trump’s plan to impose a naval blockade on Iran reflects confusion and a lack of a sound, practical strategy.

A naval blockade of Iran would lead to broader global energy crises, with the economies of the West and the United States being the first to be affected.
