Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated (we have removed, through detonation, numerous such mines with our great underwater mine sweepers.

Iran will complete the immediate removal and/or detonation of any mines that are left, which will not be many!). Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of “heading home!” Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President!

The enriched material, sometimes referred to as “Nuclear Dust,” which is buried deep underground with virtually collapsed mountains, caused by our powerful B2 Bomber attack 11 months ago, sitting on top of it, will be unearthed by the United States (which, it is agreed, is the only Country, along with China, with the mechanical capability of doing so!), in close coordination and conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Iran, plus the International Atomic Energy Agency, and DESTROYED.

No money will be exchanged, until further notice. Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to. I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The threat we face is numerically ten times larger than us.

Therefore, we must rely on the great equalizer. And what is that great equalizer? Technology.

By harnessing technology, we can create force multipliers that allow us to balance—and ultimately confront—a threat that outnumbers us ten to one.

We are not a wealthy country, and we do not have unlimited resources.

Therefore, since we are not rich, our only option is to be smart.

That doesn't mean others are not smart. What it means is that we must make intelligent choices.

If we make the exact same choices as everyone else, we will get nowhere.

We have to think more creatively, more innovatively—and we have the ability to do it.

Large platforms no longer have much room in a closed sea such as the Aegean, which is an extremely dangerous sea for a large platform.

The logic, therefore, is that our large platforms—while still retaining their traditional role—must operate in an environment where they are not exposed to attacks launched from the shore.

A very small naval drone worth €50,000 or €100,000 could destroy a frigate worth €1 billion.

And it would not be just one drone—it could be a swarm of 10, 20, 100, or even 500 drones, and it would still cost far less than the target itself.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to underestimate your opponent. I never do.

I fully respect Türkiye, and I fully respect what it has achieved.

And I must say that what it has achieved is commendable, because it managed to recognize the importance of autonomous technologies early on—especially autonomous systems in the air domain.

It created a large production base and an export base. That is something we must acknowledge.

We, because of the economic crisis—and perhaps because we did not see things clearly enough—did not do the same.

But now we have a major advantage: what in English we would call a 'jump start.'

Let's not fool ourselves. If we look across the opposite shore of the Aegean, we know that Türkiye has produced a very large number of maritime drones.

Perhaps they are not of the most advanced technology, but they exist in very large numbers.

Trump is misrepresenting the Iran deal terms.

He claimed Iran agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz for free and dismantle its nuclear materials — neither is in the actual text.

The US must immediately unblock $12 billion in Iranian assets before talks can proceed, and a full ceasefire in Lebanon (on Hezbollah's terms) is also required.

The deal is still awaiting final approval in Iran. Informed sources describe Trump's statements as a mix of truth and fabrication — an attempt to claim a premature victory.

No one can tell the origin of a particular aircraft until an examination of that aircraft has been carried out.

After all, we know that Ukrainian drones have flown into Finland, into Poland, and into some of the Baltic states.

The first reaction was exactly the same as now in Romania.

European politicians pretend that Russia is harboring aggressive plans against Western European states. That is just a crude, blatant lie.

As Joseph Goebbels said in his time: "The more incredible a lie, the easier it is for people to believe."

And these are the same standards Western politicians and media are implementing in their information and daily operations.
