Iran's FM Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

Iran has proven to be a responsible power in the region, and at the same time, we are not bullies — rather, we are anti-bullies. Just look at our conduct.

Were we the ones who launched a military campaign against America thousands of miles away? Were we the ones who killed 170 innocent people in a single day? Are we the ones bullying Cuba, Venezuela, and other countries in the Western Hemisphere? Were we the ones who, during a diplomatic process, committed such a great crime — twice?

Is attacking a country, destroying its infrastructure, and assassinating the leader and citizens of a country an example of responsible behavior?

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned the Knesset on Sunday that the military urgently needs thousands more soldiers after nearly three years of multi-front war.

"I deal with multi-front war and defeating the enemy. To keep doing that, the IDF needs more soldiers immediately," he said.

"The army will fall apart if everyone serves only on their own terms," Zamir said.

Iran's FM Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

We did not demand any concessions from America; rather, we called for an end to the war and a halt to the piracy at sea against Iranian ships.

Our proposals to America were generous and responsible.

Iran's FM Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

Our demands are legitimate: halting the war, lifting the blockade, ending maritime piracy, and releasing Iran's assets that have been unjustly frozen in banks under American pressure.

Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and establishing security in the region and in Lebanon were among Iran's other demands — a generous and legitimate proposal for regional security.

Unfortunately, America continues to push its one-sided viewpoint.

Checkmate in Iran

Robert Kagan — a prominent American neoconservative — argues in The Atlantic that the U.S. is heading toward total defeat in its war with Iran, with consequences that "can neither be repaired nor ignored."

Despite 37 days of devastating U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed much of Iran's leadership and crippled its military, Tehran made no concessions, and Trump halted attacks after Iran's March 18 retaliation on Qatar's Ras Laffan gas plant caused damage that will take years to repair.

Kagan says Iran will keep control of the Strait of Hormuz — gaining global leverage over energy supplies, dictating terms to Gulf states, and emerging stronger alongside allies China and Russia.

He warns the war has exposed America as a "paper tiger," depleted weapons stocks, and accelerated a "post-American world," potentially encouraging Xi Jinping on Taiwan and Putin in Europe.

Keir Starmer:

We are not just facing dangerous times, but dangerous opponents — very dangerous opponents.

If we don't get this right, our country will go down a very dark path.

Keir Starmer:

I know I have my doubters, and I know I need to prove them wrong — and I will!

Keir Starmer:

Neither Nigel Farage nor Zack Polanski offers our country the serious, progressive leadership that these times demand.

Keir Starmer:

I want to remind you what Nigel Farage said about Brexit.

He said it would make us richer. Wrong. It made us poorer.

He said it would reduce migration. Wrong. Migration went through the roof.

He said it would make us more secure. Wrong again. It made us weaker.

He took Britain for a ride, and — unlike the Tories, who at least had to face up to it — he just fled the scene.

And now he'll talk about almost anything other than the consequences of the one policy he actually delivered. Because he's not just a grifter, he is a chancer.

Keir Starmer:

At the next EU summit, I will set a new direction for Britain.

The last government was defined by breaking our relationship with Europe. This Labour government will be defined by rebuilding our relationship with Europe — by putting Britain at the heart of Europe.

Keir Starmer says the government will introduce legislation to nationalise British Steel.

Keir Starmer:

I don't think Britain is ungovernable.

WATCH: Israeli "settlers" occupied an artificial-turf children's soccer pitch in the Palestinian village of Umm al-Khair in Masafer Yatta, blocking Palestinian kids from a scheduled practice as they sat on the field chanting verses in Hebrew.

Ireland, Spain & Slovenia's public broadcasters are boycotting Eurovision this year.

WATCH: Macron got angry and shouted at the crowd during the “Africa Forward” summit in Nairobi after the audience became too noisy during a culture conference.

He interrupted the event and said:

Excuse me, everybody! Hey! Hey! Hey! I am sorry, guys, but it's impossible to speak about culture, to have people like that, super inspired, coming here and making a speech with such a noise.

This is a total lack of respect. So, I suggest, if you want to have bilaterals or to speak about somebody else, I mean, something else, you have bilateral rooms or you go outside.

If you want to stay here, we listen to the people and we play in the same game, okay?
