We have never welcomed war, nor do we welcome it now, but we must always be prepared for battle and stand firm to protect our national security and interests.

We must also use diplomacy and negotiation to achieve and solidify our national interests.

Are we seeking war? Will the war and the shadow of war end?

Can we achieve our goals through negotiation?

What is the point of negotiating with a deceitful America?

America seeks to strike at Iran and advance its interests at any time it can, and this is not limited to war, negotiation, or just the current U.S. president.

Our approach, whether in war or negotiation, must be based on national interests and security, realistic, and long-term.

Therefore, we have no choice but to rely on our own capabilities and become stronger.

At 3 p.m. ET, U.S. forces launched operations for a second wave of strikes today against Iran.

The strikes are targeting Iranian military capabilities used to threaten vessels freely transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, an international waterway vital to global commerce.

The U.S. military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief's direction.

Epstein clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence.

Epstein seemed to be connected to the elements of the Israeli deep state that were left of center. I've always found that fascinating.

It wasn't like he was super connected to the right of center of Israeli politics.

Szijjártó — one of Orbán's closest allies and the face of Hungary's pro-China foreign policy for over a decade — will lead BYD's external relations and new business development at the group level.

He was the key political facilitator behind BYD's massive Hungarian investments: an electric bus factory in Komárom, Europe's first BYD passenger car plant in Szeged, and a European HQ and R&D center in Budapest — all backed by significant state subsidies.

Fidesz is framing it as "the most significant Hungarian corporate leadership position in the world."

New PM Péter Magyar called it what it looks like: "From now on the actual employer pays him, not Hungarian taxpayers."

The idea that Donald Trump is being blackmailed is crazy to me. I see the way that he processes this stuff.

The idea that he picks up the phone with anybody and says, "Hey, I'm going to take orders from you"—no.

That's just not how Donald Trump operates.

If the Iranian people want to rise up and change their government, that's up to them.

But we're not going to send 150,000 ground troops in order to accomplish a change in a regime unless the people on the ground themselves want to accomplish that outcome.

Now, we're not going to send the troops in regardless, but to propose sending in the troops, you're basically saying that the U.S. military should do the job for the Iranian people.

We're not in that business anymore. We're just not.

Kyiv’s government reshuffle has brought an end to Mykhailo Fedorov’s tenure as Ukraine’s Defence Minister, concluding the service of one of the country’s most prominent technology-focused reformers.

Fedorov entered the ministry with a reputation for delivering results through innovation and digital transformation.

His priorities included accelerating drone production, digitizing defence procurement, strengthening domestic defence technology, improving air defence, and using battlefield data to support faster and more effective decision-making.

During his tenure, the Ministry of Defence advanced procurement reforms, expanded cooperation with Ukraine’s growing defence technology sector, increased the use of data-driven planning, and continued efforts to improve transparency while reducing bureaucratic delays.

I've never seen a single piece of credible evidence Trump engaged in wrongdoing with minors.

When Trump says "the hoax," that's what he's talking about, is this Democratic idea that he somehow was a pedophile.

It's absurd. There's no evidence for it.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there have been people within the Israeli government who are trying to actually shift us away from that policy because they want to continue the military campaign.

There are some people within their system, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, who are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely.

Again, not towards any objective, but just indefinitely.

There's a lot of talk about how much is the Israeli government influencing American politics, and there are certainly certain people within the Israeli government who hate the deal.

We see exact evidence. There was a Times story that came out yesterday that basically said there are certain influencers in America who are being paid in order to attack the deal.

It's a country of 9 million people. We have 330 million people. And so, of course, they're going to try to persuade Americans.

They're going to try to move Americans in one direction or another.

I think the Israelis are definitely more effective at it than most.
