💬 🇺🇸 Trump to Axios:

People of Iran are afraid we are gonna leave in the middle of the war, but we are not going to leave.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump to Axios:

The negotiations are going well, but you never get to the finish line with the Iranians.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump said the U.S. and Iran were close to talks, but pulled back over delays:

“But then they said they will meet us in five days. So I said, ‘Why five days?’ I felt they were not being serious. So I attacked the bridge.”

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 An Iranian official said the Strait of Hormuz will reopen only if war damages are paid through a “new legal regime” using transit fees.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 2 × HC-130J rescue aircraft and 4 x MH-6 Little Bird helicopters were destroyed in this strike in Iran.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran:

It should be wrapped up in days because no sane group of people could stand the punishment that's going to rain down on them if it's not.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran:

There could be a deal, and there could also not be a deal.

I don't know. I have no idea with these people, they're getting the shit beat out of them, and that's, that's all I can tell you.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on NATO:

They're a paper tiger. Paper Tiger. They have no ships. They have no nothing, and Putin has zero fear of them.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran:

If a deal happens, it happens.

And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump to WSJ on Iran:

If they don’t come through… they’re going to lose every power plant and every other plant in the whole country.

If they don’t do something by Tuesday evening, they won’t have any power plants and they won’t have any bridges standing.

That country will take 20 years to rebuild, if they’re lucky. If they have a country.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Asked if he is concerned the people of Iran, a country of 93 million people, could suffer if civilian infrastructure is hit, Trump said:

"No, they want us to do it."

The unipolar world… is over.

Something once great has become unrecognizable.

💬 🇺🇸 Professor John Mearsheimer:

They (the U.S. and Israel) thought shock and awe would bring quick victory, would collapse the regime.

Instead, we’re in a war of attrition.

Iran holds almost all the cards.

We are in desperate straits.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei:

If our infrastructure is attacked, we will react in kind.

We will target similar infrastructure linked to the United States.

This is not voluntary, it is self-defense.

This is not the American people’s war.
