Trump:

They say he is very militaristic. I am the one that ended eight wars.

Trump on Russia-Ukraine negotiations:

You know, Ukraine and Russia — you’d think there might be a little camaraderie somewhere, but the hatred is enormous. It’s very hard for them to get there. It’s very, very hard.

We’ll see what happens. We’ve been close many times, but one side or the other would back out.

But you know, we’re not really losing. They’re losing. It doesn’t affect us very much because we have an ocean separating us.

I’m doing it as a favor to Europe. For life.

Trump on Sheinbaum:

Sheinbaum is a very good person. She has a beautiful voice, beautiful woman.

“President, president, president,” I said, “let me eradicate the cartels.”

“No, no, no, please, president.”

We have to eradicate them. We have to knock the hell out of them.

They are taking over that country. The cartels are running Mexico.

Trump on Delcy Rodríguez:

She is doing a great job working with us.

If she wasn’t working with us, I would not say that. If she wasn’t working with us, I would say she is doing a very poor job, unacceptable.

But she is doing a great job.

Trump:

A great change will soon be coming to Cuba.

Cuba is at the end of the line.

Hegseth:

Mr. President, I only speak American.

Hegseth:

For far too long, our country's gaze was only on borders in far-flung places and not our own border, not our own hemisphere.

Trump:

In one case, we had an interpreter who, when she disagreed with what we were saying, actually changed it.

We considered her a foreign minister.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted.

Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

The defense policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran are consistent, based on the guidelines of our martyred Imam.

As long as the presence of U.S. bases in the region continue, the countries will not enjoy peace.

Iranian officials and people are united on this principle.

UAE President MBZ said the country is at war but remains strong and “no easy prey” in his first public remarks since Iran launched missiles at the Gulf nation during the wider U.S.–Israeli conflict.

Iranian Foreign Ministry:

Tehran will continue until the aggression stops or until the United Nations Security Council fulfills its duty by identifying the aggressors.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

The American-Zionist coalition's breach of the Qeshm desalination plant was carried out with support from one of the air bases in the southern neighboring countries.

This blatant crime will receive a proportionate response. U.S. military bases in the region have become platforms for operations against Iran. The origin of any attack will be the destination of our response.

Saudi Defense Ministry:

A ballistic missile launched toward Prince Sultan Air Base fell in an uninhabited area.

The US is sending the Merops counter-drone system to the Middle East, which has already shot down over 1,000 Shahed drones in Ukraine.

It uses a small $15,000 interceptor drone (Surveyor) to destroy enemy drones, offering a much cheaper defense than expensive missiles like Patriot.

Turkish President Erdogan:

I extend greetings to the grieving Iranian mothers who today embrace the graves of the daughters they once sent to school with love.

On behalf of the women in our country, I once again convey our condolences to them and express that we sincerely share their pain.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Just as we do with our neighbor Iran, we try to carry water wherever there is a fire and to be a remedy wherever a wound is bleeding.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

The crime committed by US-Zionist alliance in targeting the desalination plant on Qeshm Island was carried out with support of a US base in a neighboring country in south.

This aggression will met a proportionate response.

US bases in the region are platforms for attacking Iran.

The origin of any attack is destination of our response.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ali Khamenei and widely seen as a potential successor, has reportedly been injured but is believed to still be alive.
