😭 🇮🇷🇺🇸 THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS OPEN, INCLUDING FOR U.S. VESSELS, BUT PASSAGE IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH IRAN’S CONSENT AND IN THE ABSENCE OF HOSTILE BEHAVIOR, SAID IRAN’S DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER.

💬 🇩🇪🇮🇷🇺🇸 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz:

The last 24 hours alone have shown how fragile the ceasefire is in the region, how unclear the situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains, and how far apart the positions of the participants still are.

The negotiations that are now underway are very demanding. A diplomatic success is by no means impossible.

💬 🇩🇪 German Chancellor Merz:

I believe Trump himself did not assume that a country like Iran could be completely wiped out.

In my firm conviction, that would not have happened. It was part of his strategy in dealing with Iran.

💬 🇺🇸 Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene:

Trump is mentally unstable.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Trump asked Netanyahu on Wednesday to scale back Israel’s strikes in Lebanon to support Iran negotiations.

💬 🇺🇸 Former US Intelligence Director Joe Kent:

"The US's goal in leaving NATO is to be able to stand by Israel in a potential conflict with Turkey.

It's about breaking free from the constraints that restrict our freedom, as is commonly believed."

💡 💬 🇮🇱🇱🇧 Netanyahu:

Following repeated requests from Lebanon for direct talks, I instructed the cabinet yesterday to begin negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible.

The talks will focus on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon.

Israel also welcomes the Lebanese prime minister’s call today to demilitarize Beirut.

#️⃣ 🇮🇱🇱🇧 Negotiations with Lebanon will take place under fire, and we are preparing for continued attacks.

#️⃣ 🇮🇱🇱🇧 The negotiations with the Lebanese government will begin in the coming days.

#️⃣ 🇮🇱🇱🇧🇺🇸 The Israel-Lebanon direct talks will be held in Washington on Tuesday along with the respective ambassadors in the U.S., according to i24NEWS.

#️⃣ 🇬🇱🇺🇸🇩🇰 GREENLAND’S PRIME MINISTER: Talks with the United States and Denmark are ongoing; discussions are taking place behind closed doors and their content is not being disclosed.

Strengthening defense cooperation with Washington is not ruled out.

Trump’s idea of potential control over the island remains on the agenda.

💬 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

The historic retreat of the U.S. and acceptance of the general principles of Iran's 10-article plan, although an undeniable victory, we consider this victory an incomplete step.

Past experiences have shown us that we must have complete distrust of the enemy.

Acceptance of Iran's 10-article plan in negotiations did not lead to a result; rather, it was an exchange of texts.

💬 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:

From now on, if the U.S. does not continue to violate its commitments, we may enter into negotiations.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says he’s “very optimistic” about a deal with Iran:

They’re much more reasonable… they’re agreeing to what they have to.

If they don’t make a deal, it’s going to be very painful.

I spoke with Bibi. We have to be a little more low-key.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei:

You, the heroic nation of Iran, have been the decisive victors of this battlefield.

Iran today stands at the dawn of becoming a great power.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei:

We will not abandon the criminal aggressors who attacked our country.

We will demand compensation for every single damage and the blood price of our martyrs.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei:

To our southern neighbors: you are witnessing a miracle — see it correctly and stand in the right place.

Be suspicious of the false promises of devils.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei:

We will enter a new phase in the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

💬 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei:

It should not be assumed that presence in the streets is unnecessary just because negotiations with the enemy are announced.

Even if the time for silence in the military arena has necessarily come, the duty of the people regarding presence in squares and mosques seems heavier.

Certainly, your cries in the square affect the outcome of the negotiations.

#️⃣ 🇱🇧🇮🇱 HEZBOLLAH: The group rejects direct negotiations with Israel.

The Lebanese government must demand a ceasefire as a precondition before taking any further steps.
