Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi:

By providing drone support to the Israeli regime, failed Ukraine has effectively become involved in the War and, under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, has turned its entire territory into a legitimate target for Iran.

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ Spokesperson:

We urge Muslims in the UAE to evacuate ports, docks, and locations used by U.S. forces in Emirati cities to avoid harm.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán:

Hungary will not become a Ukrainian colony.

Indian journalist to Laura Loomer:

You said if Kamala Harris wins, the White House will smell like curry and speeches will be via a call center, and that our country was built by white Europeans, not third world invaders from India.

From what I see, that’s brazenly racist and Islamophobic.

In this country we welcome all, but those comments smack of anti-Indianism, Islamophobia, and racism, which have no place today.

Those comments are unacceptable to me as an Indian and a world citizen.

Laura Loomer says she won’t apologize for her H-1B tweets, but admits some other comments went too far:

I should not have said them.

I hope that people will be able to judge me by the advocate that I've always shown myself to be for Hindus.

Iran warned it will treat locations in the United Arab Emirates hosting US troops as “legitimate targets,” accusing Washington of launching missile attacks on Iranian territory from Emirati soil.

NEW: Iran says docks on Qeshm Island were hit by missiles.

Qeshm Island is strategically important because it sits at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran can monitor or threaten tanker traffic from the island.

It hosts IRGC naval forces, missiles, drones, and fast boats.

Zelensky: Trump and I aren't the same age. Maybe because of that, he sees our relationship like father and son.

Reporter: You think he sees you as his son?

Zelensky: I don't know. Maybe not his favorite son. But why not?

Trump:

Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use.

In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly.

None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts!

They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America.

Trump:

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe.

We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are.

Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated.

In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!

Study Finds Anti-Muslim Bias in British Media Has Increased

Senator Graham:

President Trump’s decision to take the war to Kharg Island - the crown jewel of Iran’s oil and gas economy - was necessary, bold and in my view, highly effective.

This will help shorten the war. Seldom in warfare does an enemy provide you a single target like Kharg Island that could dramatically alter the outcome of the conflict.

If Iran loses control or the ability to operate its oil infrastructure from Kharg Island, its economy is annihilated.

He who controls Kharg Island, controls the destiny of this war.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Israel’s closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque to worship is an extremely dangerous step that could trigger new outrage in our region.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Lebanon:

Frankly, we are concerned that Netanyahu may embark on a new genocide under the pretext of fighting Hezbollah.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Iran:

We also spoke with my Iranian counterpart after the latest incident. They again do not claim responsibility for the event and say they did not give any such order and have no connection with such an attack.

Of course, there is also technical data available… We are frankly discussing with them the contradiction between their statements and the reality.

Trump:

A lot of them were let in here; they shouldn't have been let in...

Their genetics are not exactly your genetics. It's one of those problems.

NEW: IDF sources say an Israeli fighter jet was nearly shot down during an airstrike in Iran, but the attempt failed due to the pilot’s alertness.

Israel says multiple attempts have been made to down Israeli jets over Iran.

A drone strike hit the UAE Consulate in Erbil, injuring two security personnel and damaging the building.

It is the second drone-related incident targeting the consulate within a week.

The UAE called it a “cowardly terrorist drone attack.”
