The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer. Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content.

In line with our responsible and transparent approach, all details will be shared with the public in due course.

I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program.

First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting.

The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace.

I've noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can't trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts.

The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.

She said the labs in Ukraine face risks due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, citing previous intelligence assessments that warned U.S.-supported laboratories could contain dangerous pathogens and remain vulnerable to Russian attacks, seizure, or accidental damage.

"Many of these U.S. government-funded biolabs are currently or have previously engaged in research using hazardous and highly contagious pathogens, in some cases to include dangerous Gain-of-Function research, with very little visibility or oversight," Gabbard added.

President Trump is currently leading toward an agreement with Iran out of a view of American interests, including the shared interest with Israel—to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons—and we expect him to uphold this principle and additional principles in the realm of missiles and terrorist proxies.

Together, we have inflicted severe blows on Iran that have set back its capabilities by many years.

Israel must ensure that in the future as well, we will have the ability to act independently to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF to prepare accordingly.

Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.

The IDF will continue to defend our borders and our citizens from the peak of Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the areas of our land in the Samaria region (northern West Bank), and most of the territory of Gaza—against the threats posed by jihadist forces and organizations, as a central lesson from the events of October 7.

Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal.

Setting aside the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached and Pakistan is now working closely with both sides to finalize the next steps.

Peace has never been this close as it is now.

The operation was ultimately paused due to concerns that it could trigger severe Iranian retaliation, prolong the war, damage the global economy, and lead to significant U.S. casualties.

Military planners assessed the mission as carrying “High to Extreme” risk, potentially requiring hundreds of special operations forces to enter heavily fortified underground nuclear sites.

While U.S. intelligence believes it knows the locations of the material (Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan), nuclear experts question whether it could be safely located and removed during a combat operation.

U.S. officials also assessed that Iran could retaliate economically by encouraging the Houthis to disrupt the Bab al-Mandab Strait, threatening global shipping and energy markets.

Trump said Iran had privately "apologized for putting out false information," though it's unclear how any such message was conveyed.
