Brazilian President Lula:

The invasion of Iraq was a lie. Where are the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein supposedly had? They were never found.

The invasion by France and England in Libya was another lie that caused enormous damage at that moment in our history. The invasion and the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza is another very big lie.

And now the bombing of Israel against Lebanon—on what pretext? And now the invasion by the United States against Iran—on what pretext?

Iranian source to Al Jazeera:

In light of Trump’s statements about holding negotiations and inconsistency with what is actually happening between Iran and the United States, we believe we’re facing a deception by the enemy and we’re on the verge of a new round of escalation.

BIG: The U.S. military has heavily depleted key missile stockpiles during the recent war with Iran, raising concerns about readiness for another major conflict.

According to assessments (including Center for Strategic and International Studies):

— The U.S. has used roughly 45% of Precision Strike Missiles.
— 50% of THAAD interceptors.
— Nearly 50% of Patriot air defense missiles.
— Other systems like Tomahawks and long-range missiles are also down by 20–30%.

This creates a “near-term risk” if a new conflict breaks out soon—especially against a major power like China.

One expert warned it has opened a “window of increased vulnerability.”

Stockpiles are no longer sufficient for a large-scale war, and replenishing them will take 3–5 years due to slow production timelines.

Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi:

We're not afraid of fighting losers.

The number of American casualties is already far higher than Trump confirms, and it will rise.

This time, the war won't be limited to the region.

We'll see what happens!

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

Fourteen years ago: “Most crippling sanctions in history.” The outcome was unsuccessful.

Eight years ago: “Maximum pressure.” The outcome was unsuccessful.

Five months ago: “Unconditional surrender.” The outcome was unsuccessful.

Today: “Most crushing economic operation ever.” Failure is anticipated.

This pattern has been previously observed. The rhetoric remains consistent, with only the parties involved changing.

You can’t cover up defeats with false claims.

🇺🇸 Peter Schiff, leading American economist:
