Terror group PKK/PYD leader Ilham Ahmed:

We must not become fuel for a war that is not ours.

Reza Pahlavi:

Religion has its place, but it cannot be part of the public or political sphere. That separation is a precondition for democracy.

The choice must be free. If tomorrow an Iranian woman wants to wear the veil or not, that is her personal decision.

NEW: The second round of negotiations between Iran and the United States has begun.

Reza Pahlavi on nuclear:

Even regarding civilian nuclear energy, I believe we have already moved beyond that stage.

Iran is far better suited to non-nuclear renewable energy sources, such as solar power.

Syria's Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani:

Israel has exploited the transitional phase that Syria is currently going through.

There are newly occupied territories that Israel seized after December 8, 2024.

Our first and final condition is that Israel withdraw from the territories it occupied after that date.

I can say that the ball is now in Israel’s court.

Syria is serious about establishing a calm relationship and reaching a security agreement, as well as pursuing de-escalation in the region.

What Israel must do now is move forward and respond with the same seriousness and engagement that we have shown in all rounds of negotiations.

Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader and two-time presidential candidate, has died at 84.

France’s defense industry is booming so hard that some factories don’t even check CVs anymore, they just want disciplined people with a clean record.

In Montluçon, Safran hires 200 people per year and runs machines 24/7:

We don’t even look at CVs anymore — we’re looking for discipline and focus.

Tattoo artists, hairdressers — different backgrounds, same precision.

The only requirement? A clean criminal record.

Iran's Khamenei to Trump:

More dangerous than a fleet of warships is a weapon that can send them to the bottom of the sea.

Iran's Khamenei:

Even those who took a few steps with the rioters are our children.

We pray for mercy for them; we ask forgiveness for them.

They made a mistake. May Almighty God guide them away from their error.

Iran's Khamenei:

We are in mourning and sorrow over the blood that was shed in the recent unrest.

Iran's Khamenei to Trump:

The U.S. President, in one of his recent remarks, said that for 47 years the United States has not been able to destroy the Islamic Republic.

He complained to his own people: 47 years the United States hasn't been able to destroy the Islamic Republic.

This is a good admission. I say, you won't be able to do this either.

The drone passed just centimeters beneath the helicopter’s fuselage.

Ukraine’s General Staff says its forces hit a Russian Ka-27 helicopter in occupied Crimea overnight.

Spain canceled a €285M direct deal with Israel’s Rafael for Spike LR2 anti-tank missiles in 2025 due to a political ban on Israeli arms imports.

Months later, Spain moved to buy essentially the same Spike system through EuroSpike, a German-based joint venture (40% Rheinmetall, 40% Diehl, 20% Rafael).

Spain avoided a direct Israeli contract — but is still acquiring Israeli-developed technology indirectly via a European intermediary.

Iran's Khamenei:

If there is any threat, threat-neutralizing systems are also available by divine grace.

People should continue their work, their lives, their studies, and conduct their business and commercial activities without worry.

An atmosphere of peace, self-confidence, and serenity must prevail in the country.

Iran's Khamenei:

I would like to tell the dear government officials, the respected officials, that no matter how much effort they put into their work, they must double it. They must multiply it.

We have many resources. The existence of this inflation in the country is illogical. The fall in the value of the national currency to this extent is illogical. This must be corrected.

And God willing, it will be corrected. The respected officials have started some work. They must continue this work with seriousness, with accuracy, and with consideration of all aspects.

Iran's Khamenei:

On the day when the Islamic Republic was a thin sapling, you were unable to uproot it from the ground and tear it away.

Today, praise be to God, the Islamic Republic is a tall, fruitful, and blessed tree.

YPG's Mazloum Abdi:

We agreed to integrate our forces into brigades under the Syrian Ministry of Defense.

The integration process may take time, but we are confident it will succeed.
