🇺🇸 — Al-Bridge A. Kalbi, Deputy Minister of War for Policy Affairs:

Iran cannot compete with the United States. Iran is trying to use leverage to exert pressure on a specific issue.


Iran no longer has the military capability to even pretend to pose a threat to those issues.

Therefore, we are seeing regional governments, in fact, likely moving closer to the United States.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 — Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine:

We must remember that the Americans are focused on Iran. The situation in Iran is not good, as many would like.

This creates a problem for us, both in terms of anti-missile capabilities and in terms of America's attention to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Statements by President Trump regarding Iran:

Iran has no military.

They have nothing but being malicious and cunning, and they still have capabilities from a military standpoint.

Four months ago, believe me, they were much, much stronger. I want to tell you the real news.

🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump:

Please be advised that, effective immediately, any damages incurred to ships, cargo, or anything related to them will be paid from the funds that the United States holds and controls, which belong to Iran. These damages may be substantial, but this action is fair and just. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

President Donald J. Trump

Trump on the sale of Russian and Chinese weapons to Iran:

President Xi, during our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that under no circumstances would they sell or provide weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and this statement included Chinese companies. Given our relationship, I trust his word, and furthermore, I have provided him with great services.

Similarly, President Putin, despite the terrible war that is taking place in Ukraine (the relationship remains the same as with President Zelensky), told me that they would not sell weapons to Iran. He understands that I am not selling weapons to Ukraine, but rather to NATO countries. They pay the full price, and I don't know how those weapons are distributed.

Currently, there are no changes to the guidelines. If any changes occur, I will be here to inform and warn you accordingly."
