— 🇬🇧/🇺🇸 NEW: When a local civilian attempted to report three suspicious vans to RAF Fairford airbase police, ‘they didn’t answer the phone’

So the case was referred to the normal police instead.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘There is a very reasonable offer on the table. If they reject it for no reason, that’s their own fault.

And although we heard from President Trump that he’s rejecting the deal, we are still waiting for an official response through the mediators.’

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘We don’t care about the U.S. midterm elections, we don’t care about anything except our national interests.

We are ready to negotiate—as much as we are ready to face any aggression.

We stand firm in the face of any aggression against us, even if it comes to a doomsday war.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

‘If I’m being very honest, there is no reason for us to engage in diplomacy with the United States at all.

In 2025, they offered us negotiations [on the nuclear program] and we accepted. Then, in the middle of negotiations, we were attacked.

About 8 months later, in February 2026, they offered negotiations a second time, and we once again accepted. As negotiations were ongoing, they attacked us again.

Then, after the war, we engaged in even more diplomacy. We signed an MoU, and they violated it within days. So, there is no real reason for us to go back to diplomacy.

But we are trying diplomacy one last time, because we don’t want to miss any chance for achieving peace.’

— 🇺🇸/🇬🇧 President Trump when asked about the incident at RAF Fairford earlier today:

‘It was fantastic. Working with Britain it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort.

Working with the British turned out great. It may have been Scotland Yard, I don’t know, we worked with a lot of them—we had them under view for a long time, and we got them.’

⚡🇺🇸🇮🇷 US President Trump:

I think what's going to happen is we're going to win this war very soon and as soon as we win it, it's going to go the oil will go down way down to what it was before the war and the key is uh Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.

That's the key to the whole thing.

I think both. I think both. I think we'll win it both ways. We've already won it really through from a military standpoint, but that doesn't mean we've stopped that, but we're certainly winning it very big.

It seems a single large explosion was heard, the cause is still unknown.

— 🇮🇷 NEW: Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, issued a message on the occasion of Holy Defense Week and the martyrdom anniversary of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

In the message, the following important points were mentioned:

– The days when Western powers controlled Iran and imposed their will upon the Iranian nation are long gone; the Islamic Revolution has awakened the people’s spirits, and I assure the people those dark days will never be repeated.

– Controlling the Strait of Hormuz is a joint desire of the entire Iranian nation, despite the differences between some segments in society.

– Throughout the past few wars, starting with the first imposed war [Saddam’s invasion], Iran has risen from the ashes of war like a burning Phoenix, and has become so powerful that it now casts its shadow on the enemy’s lands.

– Since the time of the Prophets, no greater figure than Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has appeared in the land of Al-Sham [the Levant], and with his stature, wisdom and courageous actions he turned Lebanon into a jewel of the Resistance and brought it to a position of greatness.

– Some people these days consider Iran to be the 4th world superpower, but that is according to worldly calculations; when God is entered into the equation, Iran is a divine power, second to none.

– In some important areas of bravery and presence in the fields, women have outpaced men.

– Today, the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz have been emptied of American military presence, and their navy does not dare to advance beyond the Arabian Sea; God Willing, they will sooner or later be expelled from the Arabian Sea as well.
