Trump:

I don't take my salary. Do I get thanks for it? None. Nobody says, "Thank you very much, sir." Oh boy, oh boy.

Trump:

Government has been broken for many, many decades. You could say probably centuries. We don't go back that long. And the Trump administration is fixing it.

Trump:

Forget about "fake news." Now I am going to call them "artificial news." I like that.

Trump on Iran:

In the years to come, they will be writing the history of our country, and they will say the Iran war is one of the most important things that we did.

China has become an increasingly important source of supplies for the Houthis.

Chinese companies are providing dual-use goods that can serve both civilian and military purposes, particularly components critical to Houthi drone technology.

This gives the Houthis another supply channel beyond Iran. For years, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard used small fishing boats to smuggle weapons, missile parts and drone components to Yemen, but many shipments were intercepted. The Houthis have also used routes through Djibouti and Somalia, while supplies now also arrive from China.

Iranian technology still forms the core of the Houthis’ arsenal, but Chinese dual-use components are becoming increasingly important for sustaining and expanding their drone capabilities.

Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid are set to meet at 11:30 p.m. over an alleged pre-election security threat.

Netanyahu had warned of an unspecified plot to attack Israel and is also holding talks with security chiefs.

Zohran Mamdani unveiled a plan to combat antisemitism and hate crimes against Jewish New Yorkers, including increased security funding for synagogues, expanded Jewish history education in public schools and greater support for hate-crime prevention groups.

Manchester City have been found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18.

An independent commission found the club used “sham contracts” and agreements to artificially inflate revenues and reduce costs, as part of a disguised funding scheme worth about £830.7 million.

City were also found guilty of almost all charges relating to failure to cooperate with the Premier League investigation.

Potential sanctions have not yet been announced.

JD Vance:

A lot of the problems that exist in American society would be solved just by deporting illegal aliens.

Lower housing prices, lower rents, lower violent crime statistics.

The Sahel has gold, uranium, oil and lithium.

For decades, much of that wealth left the region.

Now Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger want to keep more of it at home.

JD Vance:

If you are in the country illegally, you are subject to deportation.

Coming into the United States illegally is a crime, and we treat it as such.

Q: When are you going to be on an Iranian Sunday show?

JD Vance: Hahaha. One, I don't speak Persian. Two, I don't think they have Sunday shows in Iran. If they do, I probably don't want to go on them.

JD Vance on Iran:

I think the Iranians recognize that they've screwed up.

They didn't behave. A lot of officials within the Iranian system think it was stupid for the hardliners to start shooting at ships again, but they did.

JD Vance on Iran:

Trump has said very clearly that there is a universe where we can strike a deal with Iran.

But that requires the Iranians to behave.

JD Vance on the Iranian leadership:

You have the hardliners. You have the conservatives. You have the moderates. You have the clerics.

And all of these people are involved in the decision-making process.

And then, of course, you have the new Supreme Leader, who is very detached. He’s not involved day-to-day.

JD Vance on Mojtaba Khamenei:

We think that Mojtaba Khamenei is alive. I don’t know, of course. I’ve never seen him.

But the best evidence that we have suggests that he is alive.

JD Vance says there is a lot of "blackpilling" on the internet around the midterm elections.

A State Department official told Barak Ravid the Trump administration condemns the attack on Palestinians in al-Jalud, saying the U.S. opposes criminal violence by any party in the West Bank and supports investigations and accountability.

JD Vance:

We have won the argument. Woke is dead. The Democrats are literally running away from things they said two years ago to gain political power.

Kazakh President Tokayev on Ukraine:

I am grateful to President Putin for the great understanding with which he received my personal position on this issue, because all of us, as heads of state, are in favor of ending the military actions on the territory of Ukraine, including the president of Russia.
