The repeated aggression by the Zionist entity against Lebanon is a flagrant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement and a dangerous indicator of deceit and lack of commitment to potential accords.

The continuation of these aggressions will render negotiations meaningless; our hands will remain on the trigger, and Iran will never abandon its Lebanese brothers and sisters.

We set out to dismantle the Iranian regime's ability to project power beyond its own borders, and we clearly accomplished this task.

Iran has suffered a generational military defeat.

None of these people, including our own, very disappointing, NATO, understood anything unless they have pressure placed upon them!!!

Last night was a very critical night because we had no option just to respond to these new [Israeli] atrocities.

Then there were a few back-and-forths and a few messages through Pakistanis, and we hope that America could control its ally and this time honor their words, actually, and be committed to what we agreed.

We hope that we can meet soon in Pakistan to wishfully reach a settlement and agreement for permanent peace in the whole Middle East.

Lebanon is included in the ceasefire. Iran has shown to everybody that it honors its words and tries to commit to what has been agreed upon.

The root cause of all the problems in the Middle East for many decades has been this wreck and rogue behavior of the Israeli regime.

Nobody can think of a lasting peace in the Middle East unless there is an inclusive agreement for everyone involved.

This is not just for Iran; it is the responsibility of everybody to make sure that Lebanon is included in any peace settlement that is going to happen.

He outlined a four-layer security approach stretching from the border to the Litani River and said the IDF is prepared to strike Hezbollah targets and launch sites across Lebanon “according to the Iran model” if Iran attacks Israel.

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.

Yesterday, I spoke to President Trump again. I encouraged him to follow the negotiations seriously and to participate in these negotiations.

At the same time, I assured him that Germany will help to secure free shipping in the Strait of Hormuz after a peace treaty, if there is a mandate and a viable concept for this.

We as a federal government are now resuming talks with Tehran. We are doing this in coordination with the United States and European partners.

Our goal is to make our own contribution to the success of the upcoming negotiations on this path.

We are viewing the situation in southern Lebanon with particular concern.

The brutality with which Israel is waging war there could derail the entire peace process, and that must not happen.

Yesterday, along with other heads of state and government, I urged the Israeli government to end its intensified attacks.
