💬 🇺🇸 White House on Iran:

The Iranian regime is looking for an exit ramp; they recognize that they are being crushed.

💬 🇺🇸 White House on Iran:

The President’s preference is always peace. There does not need to be any more death and destruction.

But if Iran fails to accept the reality of the current moment — if they fail to understand that they have been defeated militarily and will continue to be — President Trump will ensure they are hit harder than they have ever been hit before.

Trump does not bluff; he is prepared to unleash hell. Iran should not miscalculate again.

Trump and this administration will always abide by the law.

Trump is doing this for you. He is doing this for young people...

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

For some countries we consider friends, we have allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz; we permitted China, Russia, India, Iraq, and Pakistan to pass.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The enemy must learn a lesson so that they never dare attack again.
