BREAKING: The Israeli army has been placed on high alert.

UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

We strongly condemn the renewed treacherous Iranian aggression using missiles and drones.

We reserve the full and legitimate right to respond to these attacks.

BREAKING: Trump told Fox News that Iran would “be blown off the face of the earth” if it attacks U.S. vessels escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz under “Project Freedom.”

Trump to Fox News:

Iranians are being far more malleable than they were in the past.

Trump to Fox News:

Iranians either make a good faith deal, or ultimately combat operations could resume.

BREAKING: Trump:

Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission!

We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning.

Trump to Fox News:

The blockade on the Iranian ports is the greatest military maneuver in history.

The Russian army announces a unilateral ceasefire with Ukraine between May 8 and 9.

Russian MoD:

Russia will launch a “massive missile strike” on Kyiv if Ukraine violates the May 9 ceasefire.

Trump:

Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early in the morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK. No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn’t make such a call, why would I do that?

He called me, but I didn’t take his call — He just confirmed that to me when he called again. I would say that’s very dishonest reporting.

He’s trying to make himself look important but, I’m not surprised, because it comes from ABC Fake News!

UAE’s Fujairah on fire following Iranian attack today.

Zelensky says it received no official ceasefire proposal despite Russian claims, but will observe a ceasefire from May 6 (00:00).

It expects Russia to reciprocate and take real steps to end the war.

UAE says it intercepted 12 ballistic missiles, 3 cruise missiles, and 4 drones from Iran today, leaving 3 injured.

Since attacks began: 549 ballistic missiles, 29 cruise missiles, 2,260 drones intercepted.

Trump claims:

I made the U.S.A. 45 Billion Dollars in 8 months!

Trump:

“Too Late” is a DISASTER for America! Interest Rates too high!

Schools in the United Arab Emirates will switch to remote learning from May 5–8 due to renewed attacks from Iran.

French President Macron in Armenia:

France stood by Armenia as much as it could.

But Russia was not there — and you can see in today’s world, it is better not to rely too much on Russia.

It was not there in 2020, and it will not be there tomorrow — unless you choose a new form of dependence.

French President Macron in Armenia:

There are still 4,000 Russian soldiers on Armenian territory, and more than 1,000 border guards.

So Europe must engage to help this country secure its borders more independently.

NEW: Iranian military source denies attacking Fujairah oil facilities, blaming the fire on U.S. military actions aimed at forcing ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and urges Washington to stop “military adventurism.”

French President Macron in Armenia:

I know that the choices Armenia is making—and that we are making alongside it—will force all its neighbors to clarify their position.

And it is for us to ask them: are you with the Europeans, or against?
