Iran's IRGC says a supertanker carrying over 2 million barrels of crude oil exploded and caught fire after striking a naval mine south of the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC said the vessel had switched off its radar and navigation systems and ignored warnings.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:

The West will never again be the main player ‘calling the tune.’

The world has turned in a different direction.

Q: Going forward, what kind of preemptive strikes might we see? You've spoken about the possibility of war with Türkiye recently.

Netanyahu: No, no.

Netanyahu on Biden:

Biden wasn't an enemy of Israel, but he was succumbing to the pressures inside the Democratic Party.

Even though I think his basic gut was in a different place, but he succumbed to it.

Netanyahu on Türkiye:

I don't seek confrontation [with Türkiye], but I don't shy away from it when Israel's security needs require it.

Q: Can I turn your attention to Europe for a moment?

Netanyahu: The lost continent.

Netanyahu:

We have to be independent as much as we can so nobody can blackmail us.

Arms independence. Energy independence. We got the gas out of the water.

Q: You would block the creation of a Palestinian state?

Netanyahu: I have been blocking it.

Q: And you will commit to continuing to block it?

Netanyahu: We cannot have a Palestinian state because that's the end of a Jewish state. We have to be crazy to do it.

Zelensky:

Of course, we are not losing this war, but we're losing people and time.

It's a pity because our children don't have a real childhood.

Trump:

I have spent, or will be spending, over 400 Million Dollars by Election Day.

Zelensky:

We are thankful that intelligence works now. Speaking about early warning, we can now hear when ballistics are coming.

We are thankful for the Americans. Now it works. It's great.

Zelensky on Iran:

Putin helps Iran. I know that Russia is on the side of the Iranians.

Zelensky:

Ukraine wants peace more than anyone. It was Russia that started this war.

Hegseth:

Whoever controls subsea and cislunar is going to control the next fight.

Hegseth:

Those days of legacy connections and lobbyists building contract connections because they knew the guy who used to run that department are fundamentally over.

Hegseth:

I will not mortgage the future of my kids and grandkids hoping that some other country or some other leader takes charge of our defenses.

Hegseth on DoD:

We’re going to run this department like a business, not a bureaucracy.

Hegseth:

Trump is unleashing a great American revival, a new golden age for America.

Zelensky:

Steve Witkoff is going to Russia tomorrow. Let’s see what Putin has to say.

Hegseth:

I just arrived back from a trip to Central Command and got to meet with pilots and refuelers and maintainers that are out there on the front lines, doing historic work in ensuring that Iran never has a nuclear weapon.

Italy's Meloni on protests & penalties:

If, during a march or demonstration, you join a group of five or more people and start throwing stones, firecrackers, sticks... you risk up to five years in prison and a fine of up to €20,000.

You break it, you pay for it. And if the person who breaks it is a minor, their parents pay.

The parents of that kid who had fun smashing everything will have to pay.

An additional 500 military personnel will arrive in Milan by the end of the year to support the police and Carabinieri.

We will do everything we can to prevent what we have seen in recent days from becoming the new normal.

The youngest of the youths identified in Milan was reportedly just 11 years old. 11 years old. It hurts, and it is scary.

There is nothing revolutionary about causing devastation and stealing. Devastating and stealing is not a protest, it is criminality.
