German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Iran:

This war is a politically disastrous mistake. A truly avoidable, unnecessary war, if its goal was to stop Iran on its way to the atomic bomb.

Former CIA Director John Brennan:

I tend to believe Iran more than I do Donald Trump, because he could not acknowledge the truth even when he’s slapped in the face with it repeatedly.

The U.S. and regional mediators are exploring high-level peace talks with Iran as soon as Thursday, but are still waiting for Tehran’s response.

Trump wants to wind down the war, though tensions remain high.

Israel is wary Trump could strike a deal that falls short of its goals and limits its military options.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation said the Bushehr nuclear power plant site was attacked again today, in what it described as a continuation of US‑Israeli strikes.

No damage or casualties were reported; the facility was previously hit on 17 March.

The agency condemned the attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities, warning they could have “dangerous and irreparable consequences” for regional security, particularly for countries along the Gulf.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️- "We are closely monitoring all US movements in the region, especially troop deployments.

What the generals have broke, the soldiers can't fix; instead, they will fall victim to Netanyahu's delusions.

Do not test our resolve to defend our land." - Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf.

US Senator: Gasoline price in Phoenix, Arizona reached $6.49.

Mark Kelly wrote on his page: “This is a photo of a gas station in the city of Phoenix from yesterday: $6.49 per gallon of gasoline.”

Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee:

Do American soldiers really want to die for Israel?

We’re waiting.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

This is neither Iran’s war nor America’s war; rather, Israel has pushed the U.S. toward it.

The U.S. prioritizes Israel’s security, and its bases in the region are meant to protect Tel Aviv; Washington is willing to sacrifice everything for Israel’s security.

Israel’s goal is to achieve the “Greater Israel project,” which includes territories of some countries in the region.

European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius:

During the first five days, both Gulf countries and Americans used 800 Patriot missiles.

The whole production at the moment in United States is 750 per year.

So arithmetic speaks very, very clearly.

Officials warn repairs could take “up to three years”.
