Putin:

The total damage from Ukraine's campaign against shipping in the Black and Azov Seas amounted to about 1% of GDP.

It's not a critical damage. They cannot deal us a critical damage.

But it's still damage nonetheless.

Reporter: There is more and more information in Western media about a next wave of mobilization in Russia.

Putin: It's an information campaign against Russia.

The IRGC said it launched a heavy ballistic missile strike on Camp Titin, a U.S. Marine base near the Gulf of Aqaba in Jordan, in retaliation for a U.S. attack in Sirik, Iran, which it says killed and wounded dozens of civilians.

According to the IRGC, the strike caused significant U.S. casualties and destroyed key facilities and attack helicopters.

The IRGC said its retaliatory operations would continue.

Putin:

We want to ensure long-term, lasting peace in Ukraine and in Europe.

Putin:

Any military facilities in Ukraine — British or otherwise — are legitimate targets for us.

Trump:

Kathy Hochul, considered the Worst Governor in the Country, in a recent picture working hard to get the Arab Vote, even though they can’t stand her!

Congestion Pricing in Manhattan is hurting her with everybody, but especially the people for whom she wears the hijab.

The whole thing is CRAZY!

Putin on Japan:

What have we ever done against Japan?

We haven't done anything.

Q: Could military infrastructure sites in the UK become a military target?

Putin: It's a military secret.

Putin on Japan:

The deterioration in Russian-Japanese relations is 100% the fault of the Japanese government.

The IRGC releases video showing missile launches tonight toward U.S. bases in Jordan.

The Jordanian Armed Forces said its air defenses intercepted 13 ballistic missiles that entered the Kingdom’s airspace.

According to the military, 10 missiles were intercepted and destroyed, while three fell in areas away from populated centers.

No injuries or fatalities were reported in the attack.

Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi:

Targeting a wedding and slaughtering innocent civilians in Kuhestak, Iran, is the ultimate proof of the utter desperation of the fake defenders of human rights, a repetition of their atrocities in Minab and Lamerd.

Make no mistake: these crimes will not go unpunished. Nothing will protect them from the crushing will of Iran’s Armed Forces.

No U.S. casualties from Iranian attack on facilities in Jordan so far, two U.S. officials say.

NEW: Apple Maps is now rolling out “Lake America” in place of Lake Ontario for U.S. users, after Trump signed an executive order and contacted Apple directly.

Putin:

We are interested in selling gas to Europe. We would be ready to supply it now.

They only need to press the button — well, make the decision to press the button.

But they don’t have the guts, because of the American sanctions.

Iran’s Army says it launched a large-scale drone attack on radar facilities and U.S. troop positions at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, in response to attacks on southern Iran.

Putin:

If someone tries to drag us down the food chain and gobble us up, devour us, they may get hit in the teeth.

And Russia is ready to do that, despite the rapidly growing appetites and teeth of these sharks.

Putin on Ukraine:

I have no doubt that the enemy will crumble.

The question is one of timing.

These are always very difficult questions, and it is better not to give — or even try to give — specific timelines, because war is a brutal and difficult thing to predict.

Taras Kotov, Chairman of the Public Control Council at Ukraine’s Bureau of Economic Security (BEB), is accusing Mykhailo Fedorov of a revolving-door conflict of interest.

His point: While in government, Fedorov championed Palantir’s deep integration into Ukraine’s defense and intelligence systems and promoted Ukraine’s battlefield data as a valuable asset.

Shortly after leaving government, Fedorov launched a private defense-tech company with Palantir CEO Alex Karp as its first major investor.

Kotov is essentially asking whether relationships, access, and strategic assets cultivated while Fedorov was a minister are now being converted into private commercial advantage.

Putin:

Just last night, they again tried to strike three oil refineries.

It didn’t work because they are protected now.

That does not mean that nothing can ever get through, but the level of protection is completely different now.

Putin:

We only have about 10% of our oil refineries left to repair, and the last thing we need is for something to hit the ones that have already been repaired.

That’s why everyone needs to work together.
