Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Atomic and nuclear bombs are in the hands of the Israeli regime, but the inspectors are requested to come to Iran.

Israel has murdered savagely over 70,000 innocents in Gaza, but Iran, while behind the table of negotiation, was bombed.

Israel has the bombs, has weapons of mass destruction, is not a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, during her shameful life has not allowed a single inspection, but they are rewarded by all the means necessary for them to be able to bomb any capital in the region at will.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Israel kills and kills. But Iran is subject to sanctions.

This is a true tragedy, which would make anyone hearing it laugh at best.

They kill, we are sanctioned. We are punished — those who are ill, innocent people, the poor, the least privileged in our society are the targets of these sanctions, and this is what the United States seeks to do with all countries: to sacrifice the population of a country in order to achieve illegitimate goals.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Iran extends her hand towards the world. We invite the world — we call the world — not out of weakness, but out of a deep belief in our own power and steadfastness, to cooperate and collaborate, because of a deep belief that no one in this region will have security alone.

Either we will build it together, or we will have to live under insecurity together.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Trump must know that the resistance of the Iranian people will only increase in the face of sanctions, increased pressure, increased bullying.

We will never bow our head or bend the knee.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Iran must be understood by Mr. Trump and those who seek to bully us:

That we are ready for dialogue and diplomacy and negotiations, without accepting the language of force.

Marco Rubio:

I think the Iranians are under this illusion that Democrats are going to win in November and Trump will no longer be able to do things against them.

I just don't think they understand our system very well.

Marco Rubio on Cuba:

They have an opportunity to begin to put their country on a irreversible trajectory towards progress and a better future.

That involves both political and economic freedom.

Marco Rubio on Serbia:

Serbia is a strategic partnership that we would like to deepen and intend to do so.

Marco Rubio on Cuba:

Why would I, a businessperson from wherever, invest 10 million dollars in Cuba if two years from now they just decide to take it from me and keep the money?

That’s happened over and over and over again.

Marco Rubio on Russia-Ukraine:

Both sides have expressed an interest in some limited ceasefire that involves energy.

Zelensky has done so publicly.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Defensive systems have been built so that no one can think that bombing of Iranian cities will go unanswered.

That is why we have the military power we do for defense.

We do not seek anyone's permission or approval to defend our country and people.

Marco Rubio:

Iranians and their proxies attacked diplomatic facilities — unheard of. They bombed our embassy in Kuwait.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Gaza, despite relentless killing and widespread devastation, has strengthened the people's faith in resistance.

Resistance cannot be destroyed by bombs and siege. This is human nature.

If a human being is driven from his or her land, they will resist. If their homes are subjected to bombings and aggression and attacks, they will resist.

What other choice do they have? Succumb to bullying?

Marco Rubio on Sudan:

It’s growing increasingly frustrating. Every time we seem like we are on the verge of making progress, one side or the other backs off because they think they’re winning or could win.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

I don’t want to mischaracterize yesterday’s talks as a major breakthrough, but I think at the same time it was significant that at least there was a conversation.

Marco Rubio on China:

The relationship between the U.S. and China will define the 21st century.

The idea that we would not interact with them at the highest levels is irresponsible. It’s outrageous. We have to.

Marco Rubio on China:

China’s military is undergoing the most rapid military buildup probably in history.

Marco Rubio on Gaza:

Ultimately, the way Gaza gets solved is a Gaza that’s free of Hamas, governed by Palestinian leadership that’s reflective of its people.

Netanyahu:

I am now setting off for New York to defend the State of Israel and IDF soldiers from the UN podium.

You hear the terrible lies being spread there like in other places around the world.

I will go and confront those lies. I will go and stand up for the truth—the truth of our soldiers and our country.

Yes, and there will also be surprises.

Marco Rubio:

We have plenty of munitions to achieve our objectives in the case of Iran, but we are not only in Iran. We have obligations in the Indo-Pacific. We have obligations increasingly in the Southern Command.

Any part of the world where you go and tell them there are going to be five less American soldiers and two less planes, everybody freaks out.
