US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: While the surviving leaders of the Revolutionary Guards are trapped like drowning rats in sewer pipes, Iran's faltering oil industry is beginning to halt production due to the US blockade. Oil pumping will soon collapse, fuel shortages are expected soon in Iran

President Trump: "Iran told us it is on the verge of collapse. They want us to open the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible - while they try to understand the state of their leadership (and I believe they will be able to do so!)"

This morning, a campaign was launched in Times Square in Lebanon, initiated by the Israeli Consulate in New York and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aimed at separating the terrorist organization Hezbollah from the state of Lebanon

The President of the State in reference to the terror attack in London: "It is time for the world to wake up and fight by all means against the cruel wave of terror and anti-Semitism towards Jews.

Israel must understand once and for all that the only way to security is through negotiation, but it must first implement a full ceasefire in order to then move to negotiations"
