⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱 — Israel's UN ambassador Danny Danon:

"Mamdani is failing to govern New York. Instead of focusing on his responsibilities as mayor and confronting the rising wave of antisemitism in his city, he has chosen to incite hostility and generate headlines by attacking the State of Israel.

It will not change a thing. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will come to New York, address the United Nations General Assembly with pride, and stand before the world to state Israel’s truth and its unwavering right to defend its citizens. And if anyone should be arrested, it is NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani."

⚡️🇺🇦 — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy evaluates dismissing Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky, colloquially dubbed "the Butcher," to address a military leadership crisis following the controversial firing of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov — Financial Times.

➡️ Zelenskyy is convening military commanders this weekend to assess the 1,200km front line and identify a successor capable of ensuring a stable command transition, following reports that Syrsky issued an "ultimatum" demanding Fedorov's removal.

➡️ The internal rift stems from divergent strategies, with Fedorov prioritizing "drones and automation" while Syrsky favors "assault infantry and artillery," a schism that triggered large-scale public protests in Kyiv chanting "Syrsky out!" after the minister's dismissal.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baqaei:

"Iran has never initiated the breach of commitment, and in the JCPOA and recent memorandum of understanding, it was the United States that first reneged on its commitments. Iran’s adherence to the agreements is conditional on the other party’s adherence, and the continued violation of commitments by the United States makes it impossible for Iran to fulfill its obligations.

Article 5 of the Memorandum of Understanding explicitly emphasizes the management of the Strait of Hormuz in consultation with Oman and regional countries, but the United States, by ignoring this agreement, intends to take control of this strategic waterway. Iran’s recent restrictive measures in the Strait of Hormuz have been a responsible response to counter the abuse of this waterway by aggressors to attack Iran.

Iran believes that the source of instability in the region is the joint interventions of the United States and Israel, which always reproduce war and violence."
