Brazilian President Lula:

We need to strengthen democracy in the world so that we do not allow regression.

Because when there is regression, you get a Hitler, you get Nazism, you get fascism.

Trump:

The Failing New York Times, FAKE NEWS CNN, and others, just don’t know what to do. They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it.

Why don’t they just say, at the right time, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, and start to gain back their credibility???

Keir Starmer:

Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation.

Trump tells Reuters that the U.S. will keep blockade of Strait of Hormuz in place until deal with Iran is finalized.

The U.S. will work with Iran to recover its enriched uranium and will bring it back to the U.S.

We will go in at a leisurely pace to recover the uranium.

Trump says that once a deal is reached, he might go to Islamabad, but he hasn't made that determination yet.

Trump told Axios he expects a U.S.–Iran deal “in the next day or two”, with talks likely this weekend:

Macron and Meloni had a rather awkward interaction today.

An Iranian official told Reuters that keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is “conditional on U.S. adherence to the terms of the ceasefire.”

Iranian official to Reuters:

No agreement has been reached on the details of the nuclear issues.

MarineTraffic says the cruise ship Celestyal Discovery is the first passenger vessel to transit the Strait of Hormuz since the conflict began.

A source told Tasnim that Iran was prepared to strike Israel at 20:00 last night if a Lebanon ceasefire wasn’t implemented, but held off after Trump announced a ceasefire.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei:

If we see bad faith, we will respond accordingly.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei:

Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will take place along routes designated by Iran and in coordination with relevant Iranian authorities.

Iran is the guardian of the Strait of Hormuz and will show no leniency in implementing measures necessary to protect its national interests and rights.

Media and the public should not be swayed by the other side’s media narrative.

BIG: Trump says Iran agreed to stop supporting groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

Barak Ravid:

Trump stunned Netanyahu by declaring that Israel was “prohibited” from striking Lebanon.

Israeli officials, caught off guard, quickly sought clarification.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei:

Iran’s enriched uranium is as sacred as the country’s soil and will under no circumstances be transferred anywhere.
