Operation Midnight Hammer was an overwhelmingly successful mission that did, in fact, obliterate Iran's nuclear facilities.

That is not just verified by the President of the United States, but also the International Atomic Energy Commission as well.

That does not mean that Iran may never try again to establish a nuclear program that could directly threaten the United States and our allies abroad, and that's what President Trump wants to ensure can never happen again.

President Trump's first option is always diplomacy, but as he has shown, he is willing to use the lethal force of the United States military if necessary.

I've seen a lot of sensationalist reporting over the past day that is just completely untrue.

Anyone speculating to the media, hiding behind an anonymous source, pretending to know what President Trump is thinking or a decision he will make with respect to action against Iran has no idea what they're talking about.

The enemy doesn't hesitate to use any means. Well, it's already in the media, probably, their attempts or intentions to use even some kind of nuclear component. They probably understand how this can end.

Now there is also our operational information coming in; it should be in the media today as well, it probably already is. I haven't had time to look at anything yet, but we are talking about a possible explosion in our gas systems on the bottom of the Black Sea.

These are the so-called TurkStream and Blue Stream. They just can't seem to calm down.

It's not possible to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. It's simply not working. And they want it so badly.

They can't live without it. Or at least they think they can't. They absolutely must defeat Russia. They're looking for any way — anything. They'll drive themselves to some extreme, and then they'll regret it.

Last year, the number of terrorist crimes increased, and the majority of them, as in recent years, are undoubtedly the work of Ukrainian special services and their foreign handlers.

Russia will convey to the U.S. information about the intentions of the UK and France to transfer nuclear weapons to Kyiv.

My dear students, brave daughters and sons of Iran,

You have unified the reopening of the universities with the resounding cry of the nation and demonstrated the unbreakable bond between the university and the people. You showed that Iran lives on and that the will of the nation cannot be silenced.

Nearly fifty years ago, my father foresaw how future generations would judge him and his service. Today, you have given history its answer. His spirit is at peace, because he sees that the children of Iran are awake and, with courage and clarity, are standing up to reclaim Iran.

Remain united. Stand firm. Do not allow a false image of normalcy to be made of our wounded homeland. As long as our people are being killed, our sisters and brothers are sentenced to execution, and our mothers and fathers, spouses and children are in mourning; as long as this dark night has not come to an end, and Iran has not been freed from the grip of this occupying regime, nothing is normal and our struggle will not end.

Know that the future belongs to you — to you who chose not remain silent, who rose and stood firm. Together, we will reclaim Iran and rebuild it once again.

Long live Iran!
Victory to the Lion and Sun Revolution of the Iranian nation!

Russia has opened a criminal case against me for “aiding terrorism.”

Each day, the authorities fabricate new pretexts to restrict Russians’ access to Telegram as they seek to suppress the right to privacy and free speech.

A sad spectacle of a state afraid of its own people.

We are ready to reach an agreement as soon as possible. We will do whatever is necessary to make this happen.

A U.S. attack on Iran would be a real gamble.

Everyone should know that starting a war may be possible, but ending it is not easy.
