German Chancellor Merz on Iran:

What Trump is doing right now is not de-escalation — trying to achieve a peaceful solution — but rather a massive escalation with an open outcome.

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis:

Our hands are on the trigger, ready for direct military intervention.

We will not allow the Red Sea to be used for hostile operations.

Any escalation will be met with action according to the requirements of the battlefield.

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis:

We affirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention in the following cases:

The joining of any alliances with America and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Axis of Jihad and Resistance.

Using the Red Sea to carry out hostile operations by America and Israel; we will not allow that.

The continued escalation against the Islamic Republic and the Axis of Jihad and Resistance.

German Chancellor Merz:

The Greens speak very strongly about equality and women’s rights, yet suddenly become very quiet when it comes to discussing the image and role of women in parts of Islamic societies and openly addressing the realities that exist there.

This is something we need to talk about, address openly, and work to change.

Qasem Soleimani was so powerful that I think the leadership of Iran was extremely happy when I took him out.

Nobody will ask them about it because they are not here either.
