Trump on Iran:

I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom to seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be heroic, and take back your country. America is with you.

I made a promise to you, and I fulfill that promise.

The rest will be up to you; we will be there to help.

Trump on Iran:

We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities and Iranian air defense systems.

Just now, we announced we knocked out nine ships plus their naval building, all in a matter of literally minutes.

French military says it is not sending Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier to eastern Mediterranean.

EU says it is adding two French vessels to its military mission in the Red Sea.

BREAKING: Multiple U.S. tanker aircraft appear to be departing Morón Air Base and Naval Air Station Rota in Spain, suggesting a possible broader withdrawal.

Madrid may have asked U.S. forces to leave, though no official confirmation has been issued.

UK's Keir Starmer:

Yesterday, Iran hit a military base in Bahrain, narrowly missing British personnel.

CENTCOM releases new footage of the strikes on Iran.

Trump on Khamenei:

This wretched and vile man had the blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people across many countries.

Senator Graham on killed U.S. soldiers:

We'll never be safe if our enemies believe we cannot take casualties or risk.

I know the fallen would want us to continue.

Senator Graham:

The Iranian people are our boots on the ground. We don't need any American soldiers in Iran.

Help is there.

Senator Graham on Iran:

What comes next, I hope and pray it's better.

But we're not going to own rebuilding Iran. That's up to the Iranians.

We can be helpful, but it's their decision to make. This is not Iraq. This is not Germany. This is not Japan.

Senator Graham:

I think the Arabs are going to join the fight.

I think you're going to see a coalition between the United States and the Arab world to take on the Iranian regime, which would be breathtaking.
The fact that we're going to work together potentially with the Arabs to liberate the Iranian people is unbelievable. I think that is coming.

I think in the coming days here, you're going to see joint efforts between the Arab world and President Trump to eliminate the threat coming from Iran.

Senator Graham:

I think there will be pockets of Iran that will collapse. The regime will slowly but surely lose control in parts of the country.

And over time, I think they will lose control of the entire country.

My hope is that new people will come along that want to be friends of America, and we will certainly be their friend.

If the next group comes along that wants to chant "Death to America," they will pay the same price.

Senator Graham on Reza Pahlavi:

He's putting together some ideas about a transition. It's not my job to do this.

I don't know if he's the right man. That will be up to the Iranian people.

I told him I wish him luck.

But this process of changing Iran and creating a new Iran is an Iranian endeavor, not an American endeavor.

Because this idea, if you break it, you own it, I never bought that. If there's a threat to America, deal with it.

That doesn't mean you own everything that follows.

Senator Graham:

If the regime collapses, then I think the likelihood of Saudi Arabia—the center of Islam, the keeper of the holy mosques in Mecca and Medina, I've been there many times—is willing to recognize Israel, the Jewish state, which would be the effective end of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Israel's secret RA-01 stealth drone was reportedly spotted over Tehran.

The RA-01 is a stealth Israeli drone used for long-range intelligence, surveillance, and possible strike missions.

Senator Graham on Iran:

Kamala Harris and Barack Obama empowered this regime; they gave it more money.

What did they do with the money? They didn’t build hospitals and roads.

They tried to build a nuclear weapon.

A large aerial object appears to have been shot down near Mount Damavand in northern Iran.

Footage shows a burning object falling from the sky before exploding on impact.

Senator Graham on the UN:

The UN has been taken over by anti-Israel forces... It is a cesspool of antisemitism and anti-Americanism.

We cannot let the UN tell us what to do, and we are not.

BREAKING: Suspected impact at RAF Akrotiri Air Base near Limassol, Cyprus.

A loud explosion was heard in the area, with sirens activated at the base and aircraft scrambled.

Senator Graham on Trump:

I think Trump is the gold standard in terms of Republican Presidents, other than Lincoln.

I think he has surpassed Ronald Reagan, and I love Reagan.
