Stephen Miller:

The human rights that we are going to protect are not those of the savages who torture, rape, and murder.

The human rights we are going to protect are those of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives.

Azerbaijan's President Aliyev after Iran's drone attack on Azerbaijan today:

I should also state that this morning I was informed that the Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran called Baku requesting Azerbaijan’s help to evacuate the employees of the Iranian embassy who remained in Lebanon, because they do not have the capability.

This was reported to me and I immediately gave instructions to provide assistance and send a plane.

They even said they were ready to pay for it, but I said it was not necessary. If we do not provide assistance in difficult times, then when should we provide assistance?

Yet in return for all this, striking Nakhchivan in such a dirty, cowardly and unmanly way—this stain will never be erased from their dirty and ugly face.

BREAKING: Azerbaijan closes southern airspace near Iran for 12 hours.

Hegseth:

We want to prevent external powers from threatening our peace and independence in our shared neighborhood.

No external power will interfere in this hemisphere. Ours should be a region of strong, sovereign nations.

White House just posted this.

Hegseth on cartels:

Last month we went a few weeks without targeting a single boat.

Why? Because we couldn't find a whole lot of boats to sink.

Hegseth:

“Diversity is our strength” is the single dumbest phrase in military history.

Azerbaijan's President Aliyev after Iran's drone attack on Azerbaijan today:

Media outlets controlled by Iranian state bodies conducted a dirty slander campaign against Azerbaijan in order to smear our country and influence the views of our compatriots living in Iran.

They know very well that today the independent state of Azerbaijan is a source of hope for many Azerbaijanis living in Iran.

Therefore, smearing us, slandering us, and discrediting us before the Iranian public served this purpose, even though there was no basis for it.

Iranian National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani:

Some U.S. officials say they plan a ground invasion of Iran.

Our brave sons, followers of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei, are waiting to disgrace those wicked American officials with thousands killed and captured.

Iran is no place for the devils to dance.

Israel may be using AI-driven targeting with little human oversight, drawing comparisons between strikes in Gaza and Tehran.

Example cited: Police Park in Tehran was reportedly bombed after AI may have flagged it as a police-related site due to its name, despite being just a public park.

Keith Kellogg on Iran:

We should take Kharg Island.

Sen. John Fetterman on Iran:

I remember the Iranian generals were saying that our ships were going to end at the bottom of the ocean, and that's theirs.

Look at that again. It's on the screen right now. Boom.

You know, I love it. And so I don't know why we can't just celebrate that.

Sen. John Fetterman on Iran:

The Democratic Party ever since October 7 has been absolutely wrong about the dynamic in the Middle East. Now, ceasefire, ceasefire, ceasefire.

Imagine if they were pushed into a ceasefire in the summer of 2024:

Hamas would still be intact, Hezbollah would be intact, and Iran very much could have acquired a nuclear weapon by that point.

BREAKING: Iranian attack reportedly hit Bahrain Petroleum Company site.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice:

If you ask people about Iraq, what was the source of many of our casualties in Iraq, you’ll get estimates as high as 75 or 80 percent of them were due to Iranian-made roadside bombs.

And so they’ve been at war with us for a long time.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

The U.S. military is forced to reprioritize its air defense missile stockpile due to shortages.

American taxpayers will be surprised to learn that the "Israel First" strategy is priority.

Risks of leaving U.S. interests and forces unprotected are not limited to the Middle East.

Pope Leo XIV:

Please join me this month in prayer for disarmament and peace.

WATCH: Iranian missile hit on Bahrain Petroleum Company.

Israeli President Herzog:

Spain is failing its duty as a NATO member.

MORE: It appears several Iranian missiles hit Bahrain Petroleum Company.
