Trump:

Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS.

It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.

I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!

Biden's Secretary of State Blinken on Iran:

Back during the Obama administration, the Israelis were pushing Obama to take military action against Iran and were warning that they would do it themselves if he didn’t.

NEW: The IDF announces the death of Master Sergeant Maher Khatar, 38, who was killed in southern Lebanon.

Another soldier was also killed in southern Lebanon, but his name has not yet been announced.

Kremlin Spokesman Peskov:

To be honest, I don’t even understand now how anyone can call on others to follow the norms and principles of international law. In fact, it no longer exists.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

When Israel started to attack us last year in June, we know Trump used the same phrase — “unconditional surrender.” That was a tweet he made, and that didn’t happen.

We resisted, and after 12 days the Israelis asked for an unconditional ceasefire. So we never give up. We never surrender. We continue to resist as long as it takes.

We continue to defend ourselves, and we are defending our territory, our people and our dignity. And our dignity is not for sale.

Zelensky:

The first Ukrainian soldiers and experts will leave for the Middle East tomorrow to train Persian Gulf countries to shoot down drones.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

They are killing our people. They are killing students, they are attacking hospitals, freshwater desalination facilities, refineries — everywhere people have been killed and places have been destroyed.

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Iran war:

Ancient Chinese wisdom warns that weapons are ominous tools and should not be used without discretion.

Seeing the Middle East engulfed in flames, I want to say that this is a war that should not have happened. It is a war that does no one any good.

The history of the Middle East tells the world time and again that force provides no solution. Armed conflict will only increase hatred and breed new crises.

Once again, China calls for an immediate halt to military operations to avoid a spiraling escalation of the situation and to prevent the conflict from spilling over and spreading.

We believe that the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Iran and all countries in the Gulf region should be respected and must not be violated.

Might does not make right. The law of the jungle must not return to rule the world. The willful use of force does not prove one’s strength. Civilians are innocent and should not be victimized.

The people of the Middle East are the true masters of the region. Middle Eastern affairs should be determined independently by regional countries. Plotting “color revolutions” or seeking regime change will find no popular support.

China always believes that peace is the most precious. All sides should return to the negotiating table as quickly as possible, resolve differences through equal dialogue, and work toward achieving common security.

Major countries should play a constructive role. They should use their strength with goodwill.

Another ancient Chinese adage says:

“When benevolence and justice are not practiced, the position of strength shifts.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

There should be a permanent end of the war. And unless we get to that, I think we need to continue fighting for the sake of our people and our security.

Q: If you're not attacking your neighbors, why did the Iranian President apologize?

Araghchi: First of all, apology in our culture is a sign of dignity and strength. Secondly, he apologized to the peoples of the region for the inconveniences they have faced because of this aggression by the United States and retaliation by us.

So, as a matter of fact, it is the President of the United States who should apologize to the people of the region and the Iranian people for the killings and destruction they have done against us.

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Taiwan:

Taiwan has been an integral part of China since ancient times. It never was, is not, and never will be a country.

Its return to China was a victorious outcome of the Chinese people’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Second World War.

Any attempt to create “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan” is doomed to fail.

The Taiwan question is China’s internal affair. It lies at the core of China’s core interests and represents a red line that must not be crossed.

Taiwan was recovered by China more than 80 years ago, and we will never allow any individual or force to separate it from China again.

Resolving the Taiwan question and achieving the complete reunification of the motherland is a historic process that cannot be stopped.

Those who support it stand on the right side of history, and those who oppose it will perish.

Welker: Are you receiving any help from Russia?

Araghchi: The military cooperation between Iran and Russia is not something new. It's not a secret. It has been in the past and it's still there and will continue in the future.

Welker: Is Russia helping you locate U.S. forces?

Araghchi: Well, I don't have exact military information. As far as I know we have a very good partnership with Russia.

Welker: So they are helping you — they are providing intelligence?

Araghchi: Well, they are helping us in many different directions. I don't have any detailed information.

Welker: Let me move to the strike on the elementary school in southern Iran. It killed more than 170 people, including many children. Trump said Iran is responsible for that strike. What is your response?

Araghchi: Well, it is funny. It is our school. These are our students, our girls, and they are attacked by an American jet fighter and they have been killed. Why is Iran responsible? Have we started this war? Have we attacked our own people? No... there is evidence that this school was attacked by an American jet fighter.

Welker: Where is the Iranian evidence that this was a U.S. attack — a jet fighter as you say? Will you provide it?

Araghchi: If it was not the U.S., then who was that? Maybe Israelis, but it is obvious who else is attacking us?

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

We have very brave soldiers who are waiting for any enemy who enters our soil to fight with them, to destroy them and to kill them.

That would be the case in the coming days, the coming years, and always in Iran.

We are brave people. We have a great civilization. We have defended our land for thousands of years, and we will continue to do that as much as it takes.
