French President Macron:

Iran is a very bad regime — no discussion about that. I disagree with them on a lot of topics.

But I don’t believe that we will fix the situation just by bombings or by military operations.

Look at what happened with this type of operation in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya — we never delivered. Never. Even after 20 years.

So you have to respect the sovereignty of people. If people want to change a regime, they want to react, step up, they can do so.

French President Macron:

We do not consider climate change a crazy idea; it is based on science, it does exist, and it needs to be fixed.

The U.S. quietly expelled Iran’s deputy UN ambassador, Saadat Aghajani, last December over "national security concerns."

At least two other Iranian diplomats in New York were also expelled in recent months.

Zelensky:

If we are involved in unblocking the Strait of Hormuz, we will consider the proposal and help.

We have important experience from reopening the Black Sea corridor.

It’s not just about unblocking, but maintaining security and clear rules.

Netanyahu on Iran:

We are eliminating commanders, bombing bridges, and targeting infrastructure.

In full coordination between me and Trump, and between the IDF and the United States military, we will continue to strike Iran.

Ibrahim Traoré, leader of Burkina Faso, said people must “forget about democracy”, claiming “democracy is not for us” and that it “kills.”

U.S. helicopter spotted flying at very low altitude to avoid air defense systems over Iran.

Local Iranian TV:

Anyone who captures the U.S. pilot alive will receive a valuable reward.
