Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

Trump proved to be against diplomacy when he attacked us in June, and when now he decided to cut any communication.

If there is any real interest to promote understanding and to understand what is going on really on the ground, he has to pay attention to the realities and not to the misinformation provided to him by those who want to drag him into another war.

The NOTAM has expired.

Trump has told advisers that any U.S. military action against Iran must be swift, decisive, and avoid a prolonged war.

Advisers have not been able to guarantee that a strike would quickly collapse the Iranian regime, raising concerns about retaliation and U.S. readiness in the region.

As a result, Trump may consider limited or targeted strikes rather than a large-scale operation, while keeping options open to escalate. No decision has been made.

He seems very nice, but I don’t know how he’d play within his own country.

Iran has extended its NOTAM, keeping the airspace restriction in place for an additional two hours.

Reza Pahlavi:

In security and foreign policy, Iran’s nuclear military program will end. Support for terrorist groups will cease immediately.

A free Iran will work with regional and global partners to confront terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, and extremist Islamism.

In diplomacy, relations with the United States will be normalized and our friendship with America and her people will be restored.

The State of Israel will be recognized immediately. We will pursue the expansion of the Abraham Accords into the Cyrus accords bringing together a free Iran, Israel, and the Arab world.

Germany's Merz admits:

It was a serious strategic mistake to exit nuclear energy.

We are now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire world.

I know of no other country that makes things so difficult and expensive as Germany.

Danish Defence Minister Truls Lund Poulsen on Greenland:

We consider it unlikely that one NATO country would attack another NATO country.

The standing order, as it has always been in modern times, is that if one is attacked, one must defend the Kingdom.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:

We have been applying a maximum pressure campaign on Iran’s oil exports to cut off the sources of the regime’s funding.

And what we have seen in the past month is a total financial collapse of the regime.

We’re seeing banks go out of business. We are seeing inflation. We are seeing a lack of hard currency.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Iran:

What we are now seeing is the rats fleeing the ship.

We can see millions, tens of millions of dollars being wired out of the country, smuggled out by the Iranian leadership.

They are abandoning ship, we are seeing this happen.

In response to potential U.S. annexation threats, NATO members including Germany, France, Sweden, and Norway are sending military personnel to Greenland to take part in joint exercises with Danish forces.
