Donald Trump, President of the United States, via the Truth Social network:


The fake news media is trying to make it look like I want the enemy to bomb San Diego and Los Angeles. In reality, I was talking about the fact that a temporary increase in the price of gasoline is a small price to pay in order for Iran not to have nuclear weapons. And if you want to know the real cost, imagine what would happen if they did bomb San Diego and/or Los Angeles?

I was simply making a comparison: paying a little more, for a short time, for gasoline, versus the bombing of our major cities.

Everyone knew this, the fake news media knew this, but they still claim that I want the enemy to bomb two cities that I love.

My meaning was perfectly clear, but these people are corrupt and they think they can get away with constantly spreading false news.

Prime Minister Netanyahu:

I thank President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for making this vital decision to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The International Criminal Court is not a court. It is a political body that poses a deadly threat to law-abiding democracies around the world, as well as to the principle of national sovereignty.
Thank you for your leadership.

Shabbat Shalom 🙏

Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State:

The people of Iran are a people of an ancient civilization and culture, with a history of achievements and pride. They are deeply proud of their Persian heritage, and this is a truth that must be repeated again and again.

The Israeli military and Shin Bet (Israel's internal security agency) announced that they have eliminated Muhammad Abu Shlouf, a commander of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell who participated in the October 7th attack on Israel, and Mousa Atef Musa Abu Dan, a member of Hamas' elite forces, in airstrikes on Khan Yunis.

According to the Israeli military, these two individuals were involved in planning attacks against Israeli forces and civilians, and in rebuilding Hamas' capabilities.

The powerful Israeli army launched an attack on a Hamas tunnel using bunker-busting bombs.

Good morning from Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish state 🇮🇱.

Trump:
Iranian officials are backward; I always tell them that.
They gather 20 people around them and give speeches.
We will kill them all! We will kill them all!
Twenty people standing behind them, G-d willing, thank G-d!
They are truly insane.

The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, on Iran:

"Workers are not showing up for work. Iran does not have access to the dollar market, and as a result, it is resorting to printing money."

The U.S. Treasury Secretary, on Iran:

"Iran currently has no oil shipments in transit. The country's cash flow has turned negative, and we have blocked its sources of income."

The U.S. Treasury Secretary, on Iran:

"The biggest loser in this situation is the Islamic Republic.

They tried to use the Strait of Hormuz as a leverage, but they failed.

Then, they tried to create another leverage by putting pressure on the diesel market; but this effort has also yielded no results."

Prime Minister Netanyahu:

I strongly condemn this horrific terrorist attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This attack claimed the lives of 12 innocent people and injured hundreds more.
