💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu on Iran:

They tried to kill Trump twice… they’re still trying to kill him.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

I don’t hear North Korea chanting “Death to America.” I don’t hear China or Russia chanting it either.

These are all adversarial countries, but they’re not seized by fanaticism — Iran is.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu on Europe:

Many European countries have shown remarkable weakness in the face of a regime that calls America the “Great Satan,” Israel the “small Satan,” and views Europe as something in between — a civilization that must also be crushed.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

There are things that I hear from the Arab countries and from the United States as well:

And I think these are interesting ideas — to divert all the energy pipelines, oil and gas from the Gulf, where the Iranians have a geographic choke point, westward across Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea and up to the Mediterranean ports, our ports in Israel.

And therefore, you just get around the geographic choke point.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

The Gulf States are actually encouraging the United States to accelerate its action against Iran.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

We knocked out about 70% of Iran’s steel capacity.

#️⃣ 🇰🇼 Kuwait says its giant crude oil tanker Al-Salmi was directly targeted by an Iranian attack while anchored in the anchorage area of Dubai Port, UAE.

The tanker was fully loaded at the time of the incident.

The attack caused structural damage to the vessel and triggered a fire on board, with a possible oil spill in the surrounding waters.

⤵️ 🇺🇸 Trump’s approval just under 40% and falling.

Net approval ~ -17 (worst of his second term so far).

Main reason: rising gas prices (~$4) + economic frustration.

Iran war isn’t helping, no rally effect; it’s unpopular and tied to higher costs.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP IS READY TO END THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST IRAN WITHOUT REOPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

The White House has concluded that attempting to reopen the strait would extend the conflict beyond the planned four to six weeks, writes The Wall Street Journal.

According to the report, the president has decided that Washington should focus on its main objectives — Iran’s navy and its missile stockpiles.

⤴️ 🇺🇸 Gasoline prices in the United States have exceeded $4 per gallon for the first time since August 2022.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 PERSIAN GULF COUNTRIES ARE URGING THE UNITED STATES TO CONTINUE THE OPERATION AGAINST IRAN — AP.

According to the agency’s sources, representatives of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain want the fighting to continue until radical changes occur in the leadership of the Islamic Republic.

At the same time, Oman and Qatar are leaning toward a diplomatic settlement, the Associated Press notes.

🤪 🇺🇸 A golden Trump statue, a plane, a helicopter, and fighter jets — Trump showcased an AI-generated “presidential library.”

“The U.S. president shared a proposed design for the Trump Presidential Library and Museum in Miami. The images feature a 50-story skyscraper with an entrance designed as a golden portal. Inside the lobby, the presidential aircraft Air Force One is displayed, along with several U.S. Air Force planes.

A replica of the White House garden is set up on the roof of the building. The cost of the library could reach $100 million.”

😭 🇺🇸🇮🇷 THE UNITED STATES HAS PROPOSED PLACING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ UNDER INTERNATIONAL CONTROL — THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.

A plan is also being discussed involving Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, which предусматривает the introduction of transit fees similar to those of the Suez Canal.

#️⃣ 🇮🇹🇮🇷 Italy, following Spain, is banning U.S. aircraft involved in the operation against Iran from using its Sigonella air base and a naval facility in the Mediterranean.

⏳ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Formations of U.S. military forces heading to the Middle East are being posted on Twitter/X.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

The United States is threatening to deal with the Strait of Hormuz issue by force — I hope it succeeds.

Iran must be stripped of this leverage.

After the war, this needs to be bypassed through pipelines from Saudi Arabia to the Mediterranean.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

We are forming alliances with Arab countries that are talking about fighting alongside us.

In the past, I had secret conversations with Arab leaders. I told them — the moment Iran is able to, they will conquer you and topple your kingdoms.

Back then, they didn’t really internalize this — today, they understand.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!

💬 🇮🇷 Trump:

The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory. France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!

💬 🇪🇸 Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

The Government of Spain condemns the death penalty against Palestinians that Israel's parliament has just approved.

This is an asymmetrical measure that would not be applied to Israelis who committed the same offenses.

That is not justice. It is one more step toward apartheid.
