Reporter: Is there a specific timeframe for the collapse of the Iranian economy?

Scott Bessent:
Their economy doesn't need to collapse. We just need to wait for Iran to come to its senses.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan lashes out at Prime Minister Netanyahu:

Netanyahu and the ideology he represents pose a threat not only to Turkey, but to global security as a whole.

An end must be put to the damage caused by this genocidal murderer, Netanyahu, to the region, to Israel, to the Jewish people, and to the entire world.

This criminal, Netanyahu, who delights in the shedding of Palestinian and Muslim blood, must be stopped immediately.

When examining his statements, it is clear that he does not want the establishment of a Palestinian state. He does not want to end the ongoing occupations in various countries in the region. He wants this approach, of genocide and occupation, to continue.

Trump:
If we don't overthrow the Islamic Republic, they will target our cities with intercontinental missiles.

President Trump's statements about Iran:
Iran will never have nuclear weapons. That is the bottom line. This is not about anything else.

The issue is that, as a country and for the entire world, we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. If Iran had nuclear weapons, Israel would be destroyed. Currently, Israel would not exist, and the Middle East would likely be destroyed as well.

At some point, they will attack our cities because they are sick and dangerous people.

Statements by President Trump regarding ammunition:

We have a tremendous amount, an unlimited amount, of medium and older ammunition that is also very powerful. An unlimited amount. We are only talking about what we call "special ammunition."

Our situation is very good. But we can always acquire from other sources, but I don't think we need to, because no one wants to get involved with us.

They say we used this ammunition in Iran. In comparison, we used a very small amount in Iran.

Mike Waltz: The Time for Tolerance is Over; Cut Off the Economic Lifelines of the Islamic Republic Regime.


Mike Waltz, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, told Fox News that the terrorist group, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), controls approximately 50% of Iran's economy, while the terrorist Islamic Republic regime recently massacred over 40,000 Iranians for the crime of protesting, and continues to execute students and young people. He stated that the regime's currency has collapsed, inflation is out of control, foreign reserves have dwindled, and there is a run on banks. Waltz emphasized that Washington's message is clear: "You are either with us or against us, and right now, you don't want to be on the side of the Islamic Republic."

Scott Bessent, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, on Iran:

President Trump wants to put this issue to rest permanently. Iranians need to understand that they can return to being a normal country.

The people of Iran are great people, and they have an opportunity to return to the world stage. They are being oppressed.

We cannot allow a small group to hold power indefinitely.

Scott Bessent, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, on Iran:

We will cut off the head of the Iranian snake. The snake doesn't yet know it's dead, but when the sun sets, it will no longer move.

The Iranian regime is doomed and will soon realize this.

Donald Trump:

The United States is currently attacking Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz.

These attacks are extensive and powerful, and are in response to Iran's failed attempt to plant mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, there are no mines in that strait. Furthermore, these attacks are in response to Iran's firing of eight missiles at our military base in Jordan, all of which were successfully intercepted.

If the defeated country of Iran responds to this entirely justified attack, it will be attacked again, but this time with even greater intensity and force. However, this will not be the largest attack. A larger attack is coming, and when it is over, almost nothing will be left of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

🇺🇸U.S. President:

"I am not trying to force Iran to the negotiating table, as ABC's fake news reported. I don't care if they sign an agreement that they consider worthless. I much prefer our current situation, with almost complete control of the Strait of Hormuz and an economy that is completely collapsing. They are simply following an inevitable path.
When will the people of Iran rise up and fight?

Katz: Increased Economic Pressure on Iran May Increase Likelihood of Attack on Israel

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that escalating economic pressure on Iran could increase the likelihood of Tehran launching another attack on Israel.

Gallant stated, "The more economic pressure we put on Iran, the higher the probability that they will attack us."

He also pointed out that Iran has previously chosen such occasions to launch attacks, adding, "They like to attack during Jewish holidays."

The Israeli Defense Minister emphasized that the country's military is prepared for various scenarios, both defensively and offensively, and that coordination with the United States continues.

Gallant warned that if Iran attacks, Israel will respond, stating, "Our planes are ready to fly."
