Trump:

I like NATO, you know. I just wonder whether or not, if we needed NATO, would they be there for us?

I’m not sure they would. You know, we spend a lot of money on NATO, and I’m not sure they would.

Reporter: Do you think Iran takes your threats seriously?

Trump: I think so. Don’t you think so, CNN? Don’t you think so? Wouldn’t you say they probably do take my threats seriously at this point?

After going through it for years with me—being hit Soleimani, al-Baghdadi, the Iran nuclear threat wiped out—don’t you think?

Wouldn’t you say they do after all of the things we’ve done? What a stupid question.

NEW: Iran has for the first time used military jamming to shut down Starlink satellite internet, extending its nationwide internet blackout beyond domestic networks.

Within hours, over 80% of Starlink traffic inside Iran was disrupted, cutting off a key fallback used by protesters and activists.

Reporter: Are you going to send Starlink to Iran?

Trump: We’re going to be talking about that. We may get the internet going if that’s possible.

We may speak to Elon Musk, and in fact, I’m going to call him as soon as I’m finished with you.

Reporter: What kind of deal are you looking for from Cuba?

Trump: We’re talking to Cuba and you’ll find out pretty soon.

One of the things I want taken care of, and one of the groups I want taken care of, are the people that came from Cuba that were forced out or left under duress.

Trump on Venezuela:

I didn’t like Exxon’s response. You know, we have so many that wanted to come in.

I’d probably be inclined to keep Exxon out. I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute.

Trump on Iran:

Some of the protesters were killed through the stampeding. I mean, you know there’s so many of them, and some were shot.

I’m getting an hourly report, and we’re going to make a determination.

Trump on Delcy Rodríguez:

At some point I’ll meet with her. Yeah, she’s been very good.

Look, she asked us, “Can we take 50 million barrels of oil?” And I said, yes, we can. It’s $4 billion—$4.2 billion—and it’s on its way right now to the United States.

Reporter: Iran said that they would consider military and commercial bases as legitimate targets if you struck. Are you concerned about that?

Trump: If they do that, we will hit them at levels that they’ve never been hit before.

They won’t even believe it. I have options that are so strong. So, I mean, if they did that, it’ll be met with a very, very powerful force.

Reporter: Is the administration in contact with Iranian opposition leaders as this is unfolding?

Trump: Yeah.

Reporter: What’s the message to them?

Trump: You’re going to find out pretty soon.

African mercenaries under the command of a Russian soldier, who called them “disposables.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

What is happening now is not protests, but a terrorist war against the country.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

The situation in the country is now fully under control.

Trump’s Greenland Envoy and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry:

History matters. The U.S. defended Greenland’s sovereignty during WWII when Denmark couldn’t. After the war, Denmark re-occupied it—side stepping and ignoring UN protocol.

This should be about hospitality, not hostility.

Germany's Merz on Iran:

I call upon the Iranian government and its leadership to protect their citizens instead of threatening them.

The violence directed at the Iranian people is something we condemn in the strongest terms.

This violence is not a testament to strength; it is an expression of weakness.

This violence needs to stop.

Anti-regime Iranian exiles tried to stage a protest near the Iranian Consulate in Istanbul in solidarity with protests inside Iran and in support of Reza Pahlavi.

A counter-group disrupted the event, chanting:

“I don’t want Zionists in my country and Zionist Shah”.

European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius:

If the Americans will shift from Europe, how do we create a European pillar of NATO?

How we will replace the 100,000 strong American standing military force, the backbone military force in Europe?

A collection of 27 bonsai armies?

Or the creation of a powerful standing European military force of 100,000 troops.

Iran is staging large, state-backed pro-regime rallies in cities, aimed at countering nationwide anti-government protests over economic collapse and calls for regime change.

A hidden-camera video claims Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides and inner circle ran a cash-for-favors system—illegal campaign funding, fast-tracked permits, influence peddling, and even help for sanctioned oligarchs.

Key allegations:

— Campaign cash to bypass the €1M cap: “They spend the money in cash… I can tell you this is in cash.”

— President’s brother-in-law as gatekeeper: “He is the box man… to his campaign.”

— Pay-to-play access: “This is the closest person to the President… this is exactly how it works.”

— Permits expedited by order: “They issued the permit in two weeks… The President said I want this done.”

— Donations buying influence: “They got the attention of the President… I arranged a call.”

— Sanctions pressure alleged: “I also make sure that Cyprus holds a firm stance in the EU.”

Cyprus says the video is fabricated disinformation, mixing real footage with doctored audio—part of a Russian-style “hybrid” attack timed right after Cyprus took the EU Council presidency.

Authorities launched investigations and asked allies for help.
