Tehran Prosecutor:

Those who have stood against security officers are charged with Moharebeh [waging war against God/the state].

Our response will be a decisive, swift.

Iranian security officer was killed and burned by protestors in Marvdasht, Fars province.

Italy's Meloni:

The moment has arrived when Europe should speak with Russia.

But if we reopen dialogue in a scattered manner, we would be doing a favor to Putin.

This is the last thing I want.

BREAKING: Türkiye is seeking to join a defense alliance between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Talks are at an advanced stage and a deal is considered very likely.

Trump’s United States kidnaps a head of state in Venezuela.

Trump’s United States supports and militarily backs a genocide in Palestine.

Trump’s United States threatens Greenland with armed annexation.

Trump’s United States bombs peoples in total violation of international law.

More than ever, the question of France’s participation in NATO, a military alliance led by and serving the United States, is being raised.

I am submitting a resolution to plan France’s exit from NATO, starting with its integrated command.

Turkish Defence Minister Yaşar Güler on Syria:

The Syrian government, acting on the principle of equality for all ethnic groups, has launched a counterterrorism operation in Aleppo to ensure public order and the safety of its citizens.

This operation targeting all terrorist groups has been welcomed by us.

We see Syria’s security as our own and reiterate our support for its fight against terrorist organizations based on Syria’s unity and territorial integrity, in line with the “one state, one army” principle.

Italy's Meloni on Russia:

The only way to guarantee peace is deterrence...

Deterrence comes from the Latin 'de' - via da - e 'terrere', to scare.

You must be strong enough to make the enemy desist from the possibility of attacking you.

It is strength that builds peace, not weakness.

Italy's Meloni:

Geopolitics is not gossip.

What should we do? Should we close American bases?Should we break trade relations?

Should we storm McDonald’s?

I don't know what we should do.

Italy's Meloni on Greenland:

I continue not to believe in the hypothesis that the United States would launch military action to take control of Greenland, an option that I clearly would not share.

I believe would not benefit anyone, including the United States.

The message the U.S. wants to give is that they will not accept excessive interference from other foreign actors in an area so strategic for their security.

Italy's Meloni:

I do not consider the sending of Italian soldiers to Ukraine necessary; the main instrument to build security guarantees is an ‘Article 5-like’ system.

I do not consider it necessary, also because of how many troops would be needed to deter an army of about 1.5 million in Russia?

U.S. officials are closely reassessing whether the latest wave of protests in Iran could pose a real threat to the regime, after unrest intensified and spread across the country.

Mexican President Sheinbaum:

We’re strengthening communication and coordination with the United States. That’s why I asked Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente to meet with the U.S. Secretary of State if needed.

We have a joint working group, and we’re sharing full information—such as data on seized laboratories—to further strengthen coordination within our existing framework.

Italy's Meloni:

Unlike what I was saying about Ukraine, where I do not see a major difference being made by an Italian military presence, in Gaza it is possible to truly make a significant difference.

Clearly, this would depend on security conditions and on the decision of Parliament, because it is not a choice I can make on my own.

But I believe that Italy objectively should not rule out any form of possible participation within this framework.

NEW: A US State Department team traveled to Caracas on Friday for the first time since Maduro’s ouster, marking an initial step toward possibly reopening the US embassy in Venezuela.

Diplomatic and security personnel conducted a preliminary assessment to determine whether operations could resume in phases.
