Iran's Tasnim:

The Iranian Navy’s attacks on American destroyers in the Sea of Oman are ongoing.

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ Spokesperson:

The aggressive, terrorist, and pirate U.S. military violated the ceasefire by targeting an Iranian oil tanker traveling from Iran’s coastal waters near Jask toward the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another vessel entering the Strait of Hormuz near the Emirati port of Fujairah.

At the same time, with the cooperation of some regional countries, they carried out air attacks on civilian areas along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island.

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately responded by attacking U.S. military vessels east of the Strait of Hormuz and south of the port of Chabahar, reportedly inflicting significant damage on them.

FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly ordered polygraph tests for more than two dozen current and former staff members, including members of his security detail and IT personnel, as he searched for possible internal leaks.

Patel has become increasingly isolated from senior FBI leadership following a series of controversies surrounding his conduct and management.

Brazilian President Lula on his relationship with Trump:

You know that story about love at first sight, that chemistry thing? That’s what happened. I hope it continues like this.

Brazilian President Lula:

I do not believe Trump will have any influence over Brazilian elections, because the Brazilian people are the ones who vote.

And I believe he will behave as the President of the United States, allowing the Brazilian people to decide their own destiny, just as I will allow the American people to decide theirs. That is what will happen.

Brazilian President Lula:

Trump thinks the Iran war is already over — that is not reality, but he believes it, and I’m not going to keep fighting with him because of the way he sees the war.

IRGC Navy:

Following the violation of the ceasefire and the aggression by the terrorist US military against an Iranian oil tanker near the port of Jask, and the approach of warships belonging to the terrorist US military toward the Strait of Hormuz, a very large-scale and precise combined operation was carried out.

Various types of anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, along with kamikaze drones equipped with high-explosive warheads, were launched toward enemy destroyers.

Intelligence monitoring indicates significant damage to the American enemy, and three invading enemy warships quickly fled the Strait of Hormuz area.

Brazilian President Lula:

I even joked with Trump. He asked about the World Cup and whether the Brazilian national team was good, and I said:

“Look, I hope you won’t cancel the visas of Brazilian players. Please don’t do that, because we are coming here to win the World Cup.”

Then he responded… he laughed.

He laughed because now he’s going to laugh all the time. He learned that laughing is very good.

Brazilian President Lula:

First of all, when I came here I said that I would not speak to the press before the meeting.

It doesn’t make sense. I came here to have a meeting. I came here to discuss issues.

How are you going to hold a press conference before you’ve even discussed anything?

Neither I nor Trump need photographs, and we don’t need to invent things to say to the press.

So I preferred that we first have our meeting and only afterwards talk.

CENTCOM:

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.

Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.

CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

This war must end with changing the borders of the State of Israel — in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Syria, and of course in the West Bank.

If it were up to me, we would have annexed territory long ago.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

Our enemies do not care how many terrorists we kill or how many bombs we drop on them; it does not interest them.

What matters to them is that we take territory from them.

Three U.S. Navy destroyers — USS Truxtun, USS Mason and USS Rafael Peralta — came under a heavier Iranian attack Thursday while transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran launched missiles, drones and fast-attack boats, prompting U.S. forces to respond with naval guns, helicopters and air support.

No U.S. ships were hit or damaged, officials said.

Trump called the recent strikes on Iranian targets “just a love tap.”

Asked whether that meant the ceasefire was over, Trump said: “No, the ceasefire is holding. It’s still in effect.”

Trump:

Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently.

Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!

A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!

Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.”

Reporter: Have you been briefed on the hantavirus?

Trump: Yes.

Reporter: What have you learned?

Trump: It’s very much, we hope, under control.

Reporter: Should Americans be concerned it’s going to spread?

Trump: I hope not.

Trump:

If there’s no ceasefire, you’ll see one big glow coming out of Iran.

Trump asks workers if they think Iran should have a nuclear weapon.

Trump:

Gas prices are way down. Have you looked?

Reporter: Why was “Project Freedom” suspended?

Trump: Because the wonderful leadership in Pakistan asked us not to do it.

Zelensky:

Russia launched more than 850 drone strikes using various types of drones: FPVs, Lancets, and others.

There was not even an attempt to imitate a ceasefire at the front.

Today, Ukraine will respond in a mirror manner.
