Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

It is important to remember that Syria has always been an arena of conflict and strife during the past 15 years and before that, but today it is in harmony with all neighbouring countries regionally and internationally.

Up to 20 Israeli drones have been shot down over Iran during the war, Israeli officials say.

The military called the losses acceptable.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

For a man so reliant on goodwill of Christians in the United States, Netanyahu's open disdain for Jesus Christ (PBUH) is remarkable.

His unbridled praise for Djingis Khan, the worst slaughterer our region has ever seen, also fits with his current status as a wanted war criminal.

Recent attacks on key energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf are having major global consequences.

Critical LNG facilities have been knocked offline for years, and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz is restricting supply.

Gas prices have surged (nearly doubling in the UK), pushing up inflation and shifting expectations toward higher interest rates and borrowing costs.

The UK and Europe are particularly vulnerable due to increasing reliance on imported LNG, raising longer-term energy security concerns.

Beyond energy, reduced production of ammonia, helium, and other byproducts is likely to impact food supply, healthcare, and semiconductor manufacturing worldwide.

Turkish President Erdogan on Netanyahu:

Netanyahu’s terrorism continues to threaten regional and global peace.

Ukraine offered Qatar anti-drone support (interceptors + expertise against Iranian Shahed drones) in exchange for ~12 Mirage 2000 jets.

Talks have stalled because Qatar is unwilling to hand over the aircraft, leaving the deal stuck.

Switzerland has stopped approving weapons exports to the United States, citing its neutrality during the Israel–US conflict with Iran.

The government said arms exports to countries involved in the conflict cannot be authorized for now.

Ukraine says US and Gulf forces are using Patriot systems inefficiently, often firing multiple $3 million+ missiles at cheap drones and relying on automatic mode, which can waste interceptors and even lead to mistakes like friendly fire.

Ukrainian crews instead use more controlled, manual engagement tactics, typically firing fewer missiles per target and timing shots carefully to maximize success while conserving costly ammunition.

WATCH: Ukrainian FPV drone shot downs Russian Ka-52 helicopter.

NATO has temporarily paused its Iraq mission (NMI) and pulled out ~600 personnel due to rising regional conflict.

Pilots of downed Russian Ka-52 helicopter were also killed in a separate attack.

French President Macron:

This morning in the Mediterranean, the French Navy intercepted and boarded another vessel from the shadow fleet, the Deyna.

The war involving Iran will not deflect France from its support for Ukraine, where Russia’s war of aggression continues unabated.

These vessels, which evade international sanctions and violate the law of the sea, are profiteers of war. They line their pockets while helping finance Russia’s war effort.

We will not allow it.

CENTCOM released footage of strikes on underground tunnel entrances and missile launch sites at Iran’s Hajjiabad base near the Strait of Hormuz.

The strikes likely used 5,000-lb GBU-72 bunker-buster bombs.

Hajjiabad (Eagle 44) is a hardened underground Iranian base near the Strait of Hormuz, built to protect jets, drones, and missile systems.

It functions as a hardened airbase + missile hub, capable of housing:
Fighter jets (e.g., F-4).
Drones and cruise missiles.
Links to nearby underground ballistic missile launch complexes.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot:

Iranian regime must make major concessions and adopt a radical change of posture.

NEW: Belarus freed 250 political prisoners after talks with a U.S. envoy—the largest release in its history, including activists, journalists, and opposition figures.

In exchange, the U.S. eased sanctions on key economic sectors, especially potash exports, major banks, and the finance ministry.

The deal signals a pragmatic thaw in relations, with discussions also touching on restoring diplomatic ties and cooperation.

Trump:

THE SAVE AMERICA ACT MUST BE PASSED BY THE SENATE. THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT FOR THE U.S.A.
