#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Iran's Fars:

Iran does not accept a ceasefire. Fundamentally, entering such a process with those who have violated their commitments is not logical.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Iran's Fars:

The Islamic Republic of Iran insists on the fulfillment of its strategic objectives in confronting the hostile front.

Only if those objectives are achieved would an end to the war — not merely a ceasefire — be possible.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Iran's Fars:

Most essential goods are reportedly imported into Israel from Azerbaijan and Greece, making the country heavily dependent on these two suppliers.

🥺 🇵🇭 Reports say that in the Philippines, where oil supplies are nearly exhausted, people are now walking to work.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Iran has reviewed the American proposal and considers it "excessive."

Iran says its defensive operations will continue until its conditions are met.

The first condition for ending the war is a halt to attacks and assassinations.

Iran also says it will not allow Trump to dictate the timing of the war’s end.

😠 🇮🇱 Israel: Users online are asking why⁠ there are so many crows, like in apocalypse movies.

🚀 🇨🇳 China has just demonstrated its “Atlas” swarm system.

A single operator can control nearly 100 drones and even arrange them into formations.

This takes drone warfare to an entirely new level.

💬 🇮🇷 The head of the media committee in the Iranian government, responding to the so-called 15 negotiation points, said:

Opponents have drawn up a list of their wishes that they failed to achieve.

💬 🇺🇸 Former U.S. Sec. of Defense Jim Mattis on Iran War:

15,000 targets have been hit.

There have been significant military successes, but they are not matched by strategic outcomes.

Now, some of the strategic outcomes floated early on — unconditional surrender, regime change, “we’re going to dictate who the next supreme leader is” — were clearly nonsense.

They were delusional.

💬 🇩🇪 German Chancellor Merz:

Not all those who belong to the Islamic faith are at the same time Islamists.

💬 🇩🇪 German Chancellor Merz on gas prices:

The best way to bring prices back under control is an end to the war in Iran.

Officials warn that production could decline even further if supply disruptions persist.

💬 🇶🇦🇮🇷 Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari:

Iran has been here for millennia. Nobody is going anywhere.

Total annihilation is not an option.

No people or country will disappear from existence by the wish or whim of any political actor.

We will live next to each other. We will be neighbors for the future of humankind, and we have to find ways of living next to each other.

We will have to find a way past this. This is a very difficult moment, but we will find our way out of it.

💬 🇩🇪 German Chancellor Merz on Iran:

We are trying everything to persuade the United States of America and Israel to now seek a diplomatic solution to this war.

Some of what is being said there is not entirely clear to us in its strategic dimension.

💬 🇩🇪 German Chancellor Merz on Iran:

Peace requires willingness on all sides — including on the side of Iran — and that willingness is, at the moment, not apparent.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has denied U.S. claims about the destruction of its missile capabilities.

“Trump has repeatedly stated that all of Iran’s missiles and its peaceful nuclear capabilities have been destroyed and that there are no missile bases, but in reality, hundreds of missiles have been launched every night toward Israel and U.S. bases in the region,” said Elias Hazrati, head of the government’s information council.
