Trump on Iranian protestors:

They can be brave, but they’re not stupid. They have no guns, while there are snipers in buildings.

Trump:

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom told me yesterday, “I’m meeting with my team to make a determination.”

I said, “You don’t need to meet with your team. You’re the Prime Minister — you can make the decision yourself. Why do you have to meet with your team to decide whether you’re going to send something? Minesweepers or some boats?”

Trump:

They’ve gotten used to the fact that it’s being bombed in Lebanon.

I mean, people live in Ukraine. You would think they wouldn’t live in Ukraine, but they do.

I don’t know if I would do that, but they live there.

They live in Lebanon too.

Trump on Iran:

They are sending out 2–3 missiles. They still got some — they might have 8% left.

Trump on Iran:

When this is over, oil prices are going to go down very, very rapidly.

So is inflation. So is everything else.

Reporter: Does the U.S. support a potential Israeli invasion of Lebanon?

Trump: Hezbollah is a problem. It has been a problem for a long time.

NEW: Pakistan's jets hit central Kabul moments ago, with fires seen in the Afghan capital.

Trump on NATO and Ukraine:

We are working with them on Ukraine. Ukraine is thousands of miles away from us.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Defending against invasion is a natural right, in which we are good at.

We expect the global community to condemn this invasion and convince invaders to respect international laws.

Commencing a war in order to conquest, based on false information, is a medieval act in 21st century.

Speaking of ending the war, is meaningless, until we ensure there will be no more attacks in our land in the future.

The same drones that are hitting Kyiv are hitting the states of the Gulf.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran:

There is actually no common position even in U.S. politics or within U.S. society.

This is a unilateral war that has been started by two nations, by two governments, without consulting or coordinating with their allies.
