💬 🇺🇸 Marco Rubio on Iran:

It’s illegal to bomb, hit, and attack commercial shipping — and sink them.

That’s what the Nazis did during World War II in the Atlantic.

These are terroristic acts they are undertaking.

💬 🇺🇸 Marco Rubio on Iran:

The Strait of Hormuz — those are international waters.

Anything Iran does to impede commercial traffic is illegal.

For all these countries that like to talk about international law, it’s a violation of maritime law to impede the free flow of travel in international waters.

💬 🇺🇸 Marco Rubio on NATO:

If we can’t use those bases when we need them, then NATO becomes a one-way street.

Why are we in NATO if, in our time of need, we can’t use those bases?

We’re going to have to reexamine the value of NATO and that alliance for our country.

💬 🇾🇪 Houthis:

The Yemeni Armed Forces, with Allah's help and reliance upon Allah, carried out the third military operation in the "Holy Jihad Battle," targeting sensitive Israeli enemy targets in southern occupied Palestine with a barrage of ballistic missiles.

This operation was conducted jointly with our mujahideen brothers in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and, by Allah's grace, successfully achieved its objectives.

#️⃣ 🇦🇪🇮🇷🇺🇸 THE UAE IS PREPARING TO HELP THE UNITED STATES REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ — WSJ.

ABU DHABI IS LOBBYING FOR A UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION THAT WOULD AUTHORIZE SUCH A STEP.

The primary party responsible for this unlawful war—which has not only turned our region into a place of devastation but also imposed a heavy economic burden on all of humanity—is the Israeli government, which is addicted to conflict, chaos, and crisis.

💬 🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan on Iran:

Any development that leads to the continuation of the war by opening new fronts will serve Israel’s bloody strategy and will, in turn, harm our region.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!

We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!

💬 🇮🇷 IRGC:

The Strait of Hormuz will not be opened to the enemies of our people with ridiculous theatrical shows from the American president.
