💬 🇺🇸 Senator Graham on Iran:

If you control Kharg Island, you control the Iranian economy.

It is a good place to start if you have to go back to this.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: When Trump threatened to kill the entire Iranian civilization, did that bother you as a diplomat?

Mark Rutte: I'm not commenting on everything. What I want you to know is I support Trump...

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf — they call him the "Butcher of Tehran," who's in charge of the cops. They've killed like 45,000 of their own people.

So never lose sight of who we're dealing with here. And I don't think President Trump has. He's a pretty cagey guy.

There's no such thing as a moderate regime member.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 CNN's Jake Tapper: Is the world safer today than it was before the Iran war was started?

Mark Rutte: Absolutely, and this is thanks to President Trump's leadership. Degrading these capabilities is really, really very important for your and my safety here in the US, in Europe, and in the Middle East.

💬 🇮🇱 Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett:

The goals of the war were clear: the complete and permanent dismantling of the Iranian nuclear program…

These goals were not achieved.

Failure will leave Israel facing a more vengeful and determined Iran that will race toward a nuclear weapon.

All their empty promises have blown up in our faces.

A government that dismantles Israel from within cannot defeat the enemy from the outside.

💬 🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson on Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon:

You know what the name of the military operation was? Eternal Darkness.

Eternal darkness… is a euphemism for hell.

That’s exactly what Israel brought to Christians in Lebanon.

These are civilians who were murdered… using American weapons and American tax dollars.

All of it stopped by Operation Eternal Darkness targeting civilians.

💬 🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson:

If you are the strongest military in the world, why can’t you force Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz?

We’re really not as powerful as we said we were.

How did this ‘primitive country’ just humiliate us?

That’s bad for us, but it’s also dangerous because it invites aggression.

We need to fix that by being honest about what just happened.

No more lying.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱🇱🇧 IRAN’S FOREIGN MINISTRY: An Iranian delegation will travel to peace talks in Islamabad today but will participate only if Israel halts all its attacks on Lebanon.

Iran was on the verge of retaliatory action last night but held back to allow for additional diplomatic efforts.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸 Trump has effectively given Europe an ultimatum: within days, they must commit actual military forces—like warships—to the Strait of Hormuz.
