Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE!

We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Iran War:

I would step back a little when you say it’s a war of choice.

There was no imminent threat? They’ve been killing people around the world for 45-plus years.

They funded Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis — they have terrorist cells here. They were about to get ballistic missiles that can go almost 3,000 miles. They never gave up nuclear.

I’m praying it ends well.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

There is currently no negotiation between us.

The exchange of messages… is ongoing but it is not a negotiation.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

At present there is no ground for negotiation.

Trust is at zero.

There is no trust that negotiation with the United States can lead to results.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

We do not accept a ceasefire. We are seeking an end to the war.

We seek guarantees that such aggressions will not be repeated.

We seek… the payment of compensation for the extent of the damages inflicted on us and on the people of Iran.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

We do not accept deadlines. No one can set deadlines for us.

You cannot speak to the people of Iran with the language of threats and deadlines.

One must speak to the people of Iran with respect.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz:

It is not in international waters. It is the internal waters of Iran and Oman.

The strait is currently open and is closed only to those who are at war with Iran.

For many of them, especially those from friendly countries, we have put arrangements in place so they can pass through the strait safely.

Some countries have passed through the strait after reaching an agreement with Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz can be a waterway of peace, enabling the calm passage of ships from all countries.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on possible U.S. ground invasion against Iran:

I do not think they would dare to do such a thing. Very heavy casualties would await them.

You have seen the damage inflicted on them… and what happened to their AWACS?

In ground warfare, we are even better than this.

We are fully prepared to confront any ground threat to our country.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Gulf countries:

We truly do not attack our friends in the Persian Gulf region.

We attack American facilities, American forces, and American targets that unfortunately are located in these countries.

They are using the people of the Persian Gulf as human shields.

The United States is using the territory, airspace, and waters of these countries to attack Iran. Are they fired from 2,000 km away? No.

Three American F-15s were in Kuwait… anyone can ask what were they doing in Kuwait.

They refuel in the region through American aerial tankers stationed at their bases there. If there were no American bases… no one would attack them.

Our friends in the Persian Gulf region should complain about the United States and the Zionist regime instead of complaining about us.

That is really not fair.
