Macron:

France has decided to vote against the signing of the agreement between the European Union and the Mercosur countries.

Trump:

Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America.

Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again.

Trump on meeting with Reza Pahlavi:

I’ve watched him and he seems like a nice person, but I’m not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as President.

I think that we should let everybody go out there and we see who emerges. I’m not sure necessarily that it would be an appropriate thing to do.

Trump on Zohran Mamdani:

He’s got a great personality, he’s a nice guy. His policies are not good, but maybe he changes.

China’s refiners, cut off from discounted Venezuelan crude after the Trump administration tightened pressure on Venezuela and seized Maduro, are turning to Canadian heavy oil as the closest substitute.

Shipments via the expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline now flow mostly to China, welcomed by Alberta and Ottawa seeking to diversify beyond the US.

Trump:

Today, the United States of America, in coordination with the Interim Authorities of Venezuela, seized an oil tanker which departed Venezuela without our approval.

This tanker is now on its way back to Venezuela, and the oil will be sold through the GREAT Energy Deal, which we have created for such sales.

Russia has for the first time used a new strike UAV Geran-5 during air attacks on Ukraine in early 2026.

— Jet-powered drone, ~6 m long, ~5.5 m wingspan.

— ~90 kg warhead, range up to ~1,000 km.

— Uses satellite navigation (“Kometa”), commercial electronics, and a more powerful jet engine than Geran-3.

— Not a fully Russian design: shows strong similarity to Iran’s Karrar UAV.

— Russia is testing air-launch options and even possible air-to-air missile integration.

Chinese Foreign Ministry on Greenland:

We urge the United States to stop using the so-called ‘China threat’ as a pretext to pursue selfish interests.

Russia's Medvedev:

Nothing more reliable than nuclear weapons has been invented to protect sovereignty.

The existence of nuclear weapons “clears the minds” of people with dangerous intentions.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese condemned extremist Israeli settlers’ terror, saying it is not merely violence, and stressed that armed settlers roam the occupied West Bank with impunity while the world remains silent.

Her statement came in response to the horrifying attack on Abu Ayoub in the village of Fakhit, an assault captured by security cameras. The settlers brutally attacked and beat Abu Ayoub, who is now hospitalized with a fractured skull after undergoing emergency surgery overnight.

22-year-old Muhammad Umer Khalid, a Palestine Action-affiliated prisoner suffering from limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, suspended his hunger and thirst strike after being hospitalised with multiple organ failure at HMP Wormwood Scrubs.

Khalid had endured a 17-day hunger strike and escalated to a three-day thirst strike, with campaigners warning that his condition showed signs of imminent cardiac arrest.

He was the last of eight prisoners linked to the banned group to protest detention conditions, demanding bail and the lifting of restrictions on mail, calls, and visits.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

I will state this clearly as well: Iran’s missiles and Iran’s defense system will never be subject to any negotiations.

Polish PM Tusk:

If you ask people today about Brexit in the UK, the latest polls are absolutely clear — 65% of the Brits, they would vote for the EU today.

More than 80% of young people in the UK are in favor when it comes to possible membership in the EU.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Our enemies say Iran must not pursue nuclear weapons. This is something we ourselves have repeatedly declared — that we are not seeking nuclear weapons.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Trump has claimed that 32,000 people were killed in Iran.

We have already published the names along with national ID numbers. If anyone has other names, they should publish them with evidence.

During the incidents, enemies were seeking regime change. Those who set mosques on fire and martyred security forces are no longer considered protesters.

Does someone who is protesting destroy a school? Does someone who is protesting set a mosque on fire?
