Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi:

We have made no request for negotiations with the United States in the past 15 days.

The Americans have asked us for talks; they also sent us a message through Oman that they will not conduct military actions against us.

The Omanis wanted to bring in a country to demine the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz, but we did not allow it.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on climate denialism:

In the coalition governments being formed between the Popular Party and Vox, what we are seeing is not exactly a clear and firm willingness to fight the climate emergency.

On the contrary, we are seeing denial of that emergency.

Climate denialism, which unfortunately is gaining ground in some autonomous communities, is the worst possible fuel for fighting the climate emergency.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on climate change:

I believe the important thing is that these autonomous communities, governments, and political parties do not deny scientific evidence and stand on the side of science.

It causes me great sadness to see political leaders and representatives of public institutions becoming spokespersons for hoaxes and misinformation, because it is clear that the Forest Law does not prevent what they claim it prevents.

Turkish President Erdogan to Iraq's PM Ali al-Zaidi:

He says, "We can provide Türkiye with 1 million barrels of oil per day."

He says, "You don't need to depend on anyone else."

There's no need to rely on others. Right next door, from Iraq—God willing, once we transfer 1 million barrels of oil here, we'll be able to meet our needs.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We are ready to do our part in supplying the defense industry products that Iraq needs.

Turkish President Erdogan:

At Iraq’s Kirkuk production field, operated by British Petroleum, Turkish Petroleum has been granted a partnership.

The agreement signed today is a historic step for our partnership in the energy field.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha:

I called Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi for a frank conversation.

I stressed that our goal is to avoid unnecessary escalation.

I reiterated that all of Ukraine’s actions are aimed solely at defending our country from Russian aggression and never intended to target civilian vessels or people.

NEW: Yemen's Houthis say they carried out a military operation targeting the Saudi oil tanker NCC Ghazal with several ballistic missiles for violating their declared naval blockade on Saudi Arabia and ignoring warning calls.

They claim the vessel was forced to turn back.

WATCH: Argentina's President Javier Milei claimed that the international backlash against Argentina following the 2026 FIFA World Cup was part of a coordinated "anti-Argentina campaign."

"Do you know who put the most money into this anti-Argentina campaign? The Brazilian government. Twenty-five percent of the resources came from the Brazilian government."

He also alleged:

"This anti-Argentina campaign was also financed by Mexico and by the Democratic Party in the United States."

According to Milei, the motive was ideological rather than sporting:

"They are progressive leaders who do not want the ideas of freedom to succeed."

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

We want to eradicate inflation once and for all, because the scourge of inflation is literally theft.

The worst part is that it is also an unlegislated tax.

Inflation is a scam. It is theft.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

My greatest dream is for Argentina to be great again—to put Argentina back on the path of the great nations.

That won't happen overnight, but we are doing everything necessary to make it happen.

I want Argentina, within 30 or 40 years, to become the greatest country in the world.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:

I said I would align Argentina with the world's leading powers—and I did.

I allied Argentina with the United States. I allied Argentina with Israel.

We are changing the world.

📸 Netanyahu meets with Stephen Miller.

China has held direct talks with Yemen’s Houthis to secure safe passage for Chinese oil tankers through the Red Sea.

The move comes after the Houthis threatened ships linked to Saudi ports amid the Iran conflict.

Beijing is getting individual clearance from the Houthis for its vessels, while other tankers have rerouted due to security fears.

At least four Saudi-to-China oil tankers have passed through the Bab el-Mandeb strait since the restrictions began.

Netanyahu:

I have just finished an excellent meeting with President Trump. When I say excellent, it's not just lip service.

A conversation with full partnership, with mutual support, with an understanding of the common goal of ensuring that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, as well as other goals.

One of the best conversations I've ever had with a President of the United States, our friend Donald Trump.

His entire senior team was there, as was our senior team, and here too was an opportunity to exchange ideas and also to coordinate things that are important for the security and future of the State of Israel.

The U.S. Embassy in Israel pressured Israeli authorities after IDF troops took over the home of a Palestinian-American family near Ramallah to use as a military post.

The soldiers were reportedly ordered to leave shortly afterward.

Netanyahu and Zelensky were spotted talking before Sen. Lindsey Graham's funeral.

Trump goes off script:

No matter how heated things got in Washington, virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey Graham.

Well, not everybody, but it sounds good. Not everybody.

He was a tough cookie, I have to be honest.
