We will demand compensation for every single damage and the blood price of our martyrs.

Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei:

To our southern neighbors: you are witnessing a miracle — see it correctly and stand in the right place.

Be suspicious of the false promises of devils.

We will enter a new phase in the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif:

Israel is evil and a curse for humanity, while peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon.

Innocent citizens are being killed by Israel, first Gaza, then Iran and now Lebanon, bloodletting continues unabated.

Keir Starmer:

I'm fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses' bills go up and down on energy, because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.

Keir Starmer on Iran:

From the get-go, we've been monitoring this situation.

So I'm pretty clear in my own mind about what we've agreed and what the use of the bases are.

I've been saying we are not going to be dragged into this war because I say there must be a lawful basis.

That matters if you're going to commit our service personnel to risk their lives.

Melania Trump:

The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today.

Melania Trump:

I never been friends with Epstein.

Donald and I were invited to some of the same parties as Epstein from time to time.

To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell.

Melania Trump:

I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump.

I met my husband by chance...

Melania Trump:

I am not a witness or a named individual in connection with any of Epstein’s crimes.

My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements, or FBI interviews surrounding the Epstein matter.

Melania Trump:

I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims.

I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane, and never visited his private island.

Melania Trump:

I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing, specifically centered around the survivors.

Give these victims the opportunity to testify under oath before Congress, with the power of sworn testimony.

Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story publicly if she wishes. And then her testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional record.

Only then will we have the truth.

Melania Trump:

Details of my initial encounter with my husband are documented in my book, “Melania.”
