💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

And for those who worry about the relationship between me and Trump:

We speak daily, and we smile every time we hear these assessments.

Those who choose to ignore this amazing cooperation are simply ignoring reality.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

The enriched uranium will come out of Iran either by agreement or by the resumption of fighting.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu says Israel targeted the “family members of the Basij members” during the war.

💬 🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

The temporary ceasefire with Iran will not include Lebanon.

Today, we have given Hezbollah the strongest blow they have suffered since the pagers.

💬 🇺🇸 White House:

The Iranian regime asked for and ultimately agreed to a ceasefire proposal with the United States.

Iran could no longer tolerate being bombed or take the gamble of what might follow President Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline.

💬 🇺🇸 White House:

The Iranians originally put forward a 10-point plan that was fundamentally unserious and completely unacceptable. It was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team.

Many outlets have falsely reported that this plan was acceptable to the United States. That is not true. With the president’s deadline fast approaching and the U.S. military decimating Iran with each passing hour, the regime acknowledged reality to the negotiating team.

They then put forward a more reasonable, entirely different, and condensed plan. President Trump and his team determined that this new, modified plan was a workable basis for negotiations, to be aligned with our own 15-point proposal.

The president’s red lines — namely, the end of Iranian enrichment in Iran — have not changed. The idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wish list as a deal is completely absurd.

💬 🇺🇸 White House on reports that Strait of Hormuz was closed again:

With respect to the initial reporting from Iranian state media, the president was made aware of those reports before I came to the podium. That position is completely unacceptable.

Again, this is a case where what they are saying publicly differs from what they are saying privately.

We have seen an uptick in traffic in the Strait today, and I will reiterate the president’s expectation and demand that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened immediately, quickly, and safely. That is his expectation.

It has been relayed to him privately that what is being reported publicly is false.

💬 🇺🇸 White House:

The Iranians backed down, not Trump.

💬 🇺🇸 White House:

Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire, that has been communicated to all parties involved.

💬 🇺🇸 White House:

Trump is dispatching his negotiating team, led by the Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Mr. Kushner, to Islamabad for talks this weekend.

The first round of those talks will take place on Saturday morning, local time, and we look forward to those in-person meetings.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Is there any concern that Netanyahu is trying to undermine the ceasefire?

Leavitt: The president spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu last night, and in that private conversation, Prime Minister Netanyahu conveyed exactly what he has said publicly — that he supports the president and that Israel remains a key ally and partner of the United States.

They have been a tremendous partner over the past six weeks, and we thank them for their heroic efforts.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Has Iran given the administration any indication that it would simply turn over its highly enriched uranium?

Leavitt: They have. Yes.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: What was your understanding of what Trump meant when he said this civilization is going to be eliminated?

Leavitt: I think it was a very, very strong threat from the president of the United States — one that led the Iranian regime to cave and ask for a ceasefire, and to agree to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

It was a strong threat that produced results. And as the Secretary of War stated at the Pentagon this morning, it was not an empty threat by any means.

The Pentagon had a target list ready to be executed at 8 p.m. last night.

💬 🇺🇸 White House:

The insinuation by anyone in this room that Iran somehow has the moral high ground over the United States is insulting, considering the atrocities they have committed against our people and our military over the past five decades.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: I am Iranian, and I have been speaking with people there during the blackout. One of my family members said goodbye to me yesterday. What message should we be sending to Iranians?

Leavitt: The president’s and my main priority is to make sure that clear messages are sent to the American people.

We hope that Iran will be a country of prosperity.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Can you tell me that the United States is still considering withdrawing from NATO? Is that still a possibility?

Leavitt: It’s something the president has discussed, and I think it’s something he will be discussing in a couple of hours with Secretary General Rutte. You may hear more directly from him.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The Iran–U.S. ceasefire terms are clear: the U.S. must choose — ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.

The world sees the massacres in Lebanon.

The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸 U.S. officials say no American strikes have hit Iran since the ceasefire began, and any current attacks are not by the U.S. military.

💬 🇺🇸 JD Vance:

If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them, that is ultimately their choice.

We think that would be dumb, but it’s their choice.

💬 🇺🇸 JD Vance on the Strait of Hormuz:

We’ve already seen an increase in traffic today; hopefully, we’ll see an increase in traffic tomorrow. We actually think that we are seeing signs that the straits are starting to reopen.

I think you guys have probably seen oil prices have come down. So, I think the oil markets, the gas markets, are seeing the same thing.

But the president’s been very clear: the deal is a ceasefire, a negotiation. That’s what we give, and what they give is that the straits are going to be reopened.

If we don’t see that happening, the president is not going to abide by our terms if the Iranians are not abiding by their terms.
