German AfD politician Maximilian Krah:

The EU will collapse within the next 5 to 10 years.

AfD is the only party who's prepared for that.

The EU is now the most economically weak, less innovative, demographically collapsing big room and big space in the world.

We don't have AI, we don't have innovation, we don't have growth.

So of course such a construct must fail.

It will fail, and we will be happy about it.

German AfD politician Maximilian Krah:

We have more and more migrants in Germany who vote AfD. And I'm the champion.

I made a lot of videos in which I made clear especially the Turkish community should vote AfD.

The former Soviet community is already with us.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps says its naval and air forces successfully repelled a US attack on Sirik Island, forcing the attacking forces to retreat in defense of Iran's territorial sovereignty.

The IRGC vowed the assault "will not go unanswered" and warned that any further "foolishness" would be met with a "swift and decisive" response at a time and place of Iran's choosing.

Trump:

Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi:

Once again, America has attacked Iran in the midst of negotiations.

The failed U.S. president has once again proven that he has no commitment to the principles of negotiation and ceasefire.

Certainly, this reckless violation of the ceasefire by America will, as always, lead to their retreat and regret.

The Texas State Board of Education approved a required reading list for public schools that includes Bible passages alongside classic literature, making Texas the first state to adopt such a mandate.

The phased rollout begins in 2030.

JD Vance:

Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone.

But violence will be met with violence.

Bill Maher: Iran's nuclear program isn't destroyed.

JD Vance: What part is not destroyed?

Maher: We didn't get in there. The whole thing was, we have to get in there and see; otherwise, we wouldn't be doing this.

Ukrainian missiles struck Russia's Titan-Barricades military factory in Volgograd, a major defense plant that produces launchers, artillery systems, and components for Iskander, Yars, and Topol-M missile systems.

CENTCOM releases video of last night's strikes on Iran.

Poland's Foreign Minister Sikorski publicly criticized President Karol Nawrocki's decision to revoke Ukraine's Order of the White Eagle from Volodymyr Zelensky, calling it disproportionate and personally humiliating:

Our response was inadequate because it personally humiliated the President of Ukraine.

If President Nawrocki had asked me, I would have advised, for example, naming the airport in Jasionka after the victims of the UPA, and it would have been even.

EU Commission's Berlaymont HQs shut off air conditioning on floors 1–7 during this week's European heatwave, while upper floors — including Ursula von der Leyen's 13th-floor office and most commissioner suites — kept theirs running.

Employees on the lower floors called it "feudalism" and a "disgrace."

Ukraine's Budanov says Russia's recruitment of agents inside Ukraine is driven almost entirely by economics, not ideology — calling the targets "the $300 people."

The foundation is poverty. We called them the $300 people.

Standard recruitment price is $300.

There is little that can be done to stop them.

Piers Morgan grilled urban warfare expert John Spencer over his claim that Israel has achieved "the best ratio of civilian deaths to combatants in modern warfare" in Gaza, repeatedly demanding:

How many civilians have actually been killed?!

You don't know, do you?

ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan says he, fellow ICC judges, and UN officials faced direct threats, including his family, over Israel-related cases.

Khan said 12 US senators sent him a letter stating:

If you target Israel, we will target you and your family. You have been warned.

The threats were followed by action — sanctions, frozen bank accounts, and travel restrictions.

He called the use of state power to coerce international justice institutions "deeply dangerous."

Trump:

John Bolton, a very dumb, unbalanced, and unskilled former representative of the United States of America, just pleads guilty!

He is a terrible person, a lunatic who only wanted to start trouble and wars, and who was a needless pusher of death and destruction wherever he went.

Hopefully, he will be dealt with harshly!
