Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

The United States has repeatedly requested negotiations with us through various intermediaries and continues to renew these requests.

We have no problem with engaging in negotiations; however, negotiations cannot begin with threats.

They must set aside their threats.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi on Europe:

If it were not for the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), they would not have been able to fight Daesh and other terrorist groups, and today they would be fighting Daesh on the streets of Europe.

Europeans do not appreciate what has been done for them; the Revolutionary Guards saved the world from a major terrorist organization.

The European Union has made a grave mistake, and I believe it will soon realize this mistake.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

If the conflicts continue, they create the ground for all kinds of problems.

They pave the way for terrorism, mass migration, poverty...

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Just as we do not want Turkish expansionism, Arab expansionism, or Persian expansionism, we certainly do not want Israeli expansionism either.

Israel’s attacks in the region — particularly against Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran, as well as its occupation in Syria and its attack on Qatar — are clear evidence of its expansionist ambitions in the region.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

I will state this clearly as well: Iran’s missiles and Iran’s defense system will never be subject to any negotiations.

Iranian National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani:

The European Union certainly knows that, according to the resolution passed by the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majles), the armed forces of the countries that took part in the European Union’s recent resolution against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are considered terrorist organizations.

Therefore, the consequences of this action will fall upon the European countries that undertook it.

Israel will reopen Gaza’s Rafah crossing with Egypt on Sunday, allowing limited travel for Gazans who left during the war, subject to Israeli security approval.

Alleged Mossad-linked operative tells Israeli Channel 12 that he helped form an inside team and remotely strike a missile launcher in Iran on June 13, while staying in live contact with headquarters:

Our mission was to take very specific and professional weapon, to assemble everything together and be ready to launch. I was Mossad’s eyes inside this mission.

To finish the job, I only had to click on a button and leave from there. I had to wait for more than two hours… I was scared about everything.

We had just one chance to launch. I said: ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ I could see our target… a launcher ready to shoot the ballistic missile to Israel.

We eliminated it. I said: ‘We did our job.’

HQ said: ‘Yes, you did.’”

Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei:

The West is not even in a position to accuse China — just look at their own record on international human rights and freedom of speech.

They are not in a position at all, and this even gives China a stronger position.
