There is a good chance, but if they don't make a deal, I am blowing up everything over there.

Iranians are living in fear. They are afraid we are gonna leave in the middle of the war, but we are not going to leave.

The negotiations are going well, but you never get to the finish line with the Iranians.

But then they said they will meet us in five days. So I said, "Why five days?" I felt they were not being serious. So I attacked the bridge (B1 Bridge).

We began to see its repercussions on the whole world in the form of calamities and instability on all levels, the main and sole cause of which was the reckless and unjustified war into which the Zionists plunged the region and indeed the world.

Their savagery was not satisfied by the massacres in Gaza and the bombing of Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria, nor even by targeting the sisterly State of Qatar while it was making strenuous and sincere mediation efforts to stop the war of extermination.

They began a brutal and treacherous aggression against the sisterly Islamic Republic in the midst of the deception of negotiations, in complete collusion and conspiracy with the United States.

They followed this with aggression against the sisterly Lebanon, which was preceded by violations over fifteen months, in a blow to all the rules of the so-called international law that was designed specifically to be applied to the weak and oppressed and to serve the interests of tyrants.

The true nature of this temporary entity (Israel) has become clear to the sons of our nation, revealing its weakness and complete dependence on the support of others, a support that will not last.

Its image has been tarnished before its friends, for whom it no longer represents a successful project.

We are facing an armed military aggression and blatant thuggery that violates all international agreements and all noble morals of nations, tearing apart the UN Charter with missiles and rockets after having already ripped its pages on its podium.

This aggression makes no secret of its aim to steal the will of nations, their wealth, and their right to choose the system of life and governance they desire.

After the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the most heinous massacres in modern history, which are still ongoing — here he (Israel) is, expanding his aggression and dragging his masters into war, seeking security only to be consumed by fear and isolation.

Israel calls for an illusory peace through brute force, spreading destruction throughout the entire region afflicted by him and his inferiority complex.

Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace!

Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue!

Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!

"It was not completely clear early on, but we stuck with it and verified he was alive and not captured. And those who knew him said he is religious," a defense official said.

They have been good partners. They have been great and brave people.

We are like a big brother and little brother.

The rescue was an Easter Miracle.

The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive, and as cool as anyone can be.

The Iranians thought they had him, but it wasn't even close, and remember, we got two, but couldn't talk about the first in that it would have highlighted that there was a second.

Such a rescue has never happened before in so violent an enemy territory. It is usually not done because it is considered not doable. Such a great military — like no other.
