Iran currently has no plans to negotiate on Friday.

There has been no change in Iran's plan to not participate in the negotiations.

The line of discord and division among the country's highest officials is the enemy's unplayed political and propaganda game against Iran.

The unity and consensus among the field, the street, and diplomacy in these days is unprecedented and exemplary.

Instead of weaving lies, they should cease their breaches of promise, bullying, and deceit; the door to negotiation based on fairness, dignity, and rationality remains open.

The Islamic Republic of Iran was not the initiator of this imposed war, and all its actions are in line with Iran's inherent right to legitimate defense against the military aggression of the US and the Zionist regime.

Iran, while closely monitoring developments in the field and political arena, takes necessary measures to protect Iran's national interests and security.

The armed forces are fully alert and ready for comprehensive and decisive defense of Iran's integrity against any threat and mischief.

Future prices are much lower than we are at present. I think the conflict will end. I think gasoline prices will come back to where they were, or perhaps lower.

President Trump has shown that he is good at getting energy prices down.

Last week was Bank Week, World Bank and IMF Week. On Wednesday, it was my belief we would not do it.

I was approached by more than 10 of the most vulnerable and poorest countries in terms of energy, and they asked us to extend that sanction, and it's only for 30 days.

Trump and Putin can afford to deliberate on whether or not they are loved. They are great people — emperors.

I am the leader of a medium-sized country, a Central European one, let’s say.

I understand that I don’t have the same opportunities as they do.

I am not a dictator; I don't have the resources to dictate.

Trump, however, has those resources, and he dictates in Venezuela; in Cuba, he's trying to dictate in Iran... he has those resources.

During my negotiations, there are no other terms than the Donetsk region, the Luhansk region, our Donbas, and the territory of Ukraine. There are documents in which all this is specified.

As for other names, I cannot comment on any dialogues between the parties.

In my opinion, the main thing is that the Donetsk region and the Luhansk region remain Ukrainian land so that there is no "Putinland."

Ukraine is participating in international discussions on the safety of shipping, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz.

We have experience in the Black Sea — we were able to unblock the corridor, so we are ready to share this expertise.

Ukraine is also negotiating with partners on security cooperation and new agreements in the field of drones.

A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by the maritime blockade and the hostage-taking of the world’s economy, and if the Zionist warmongering across all fronts is halted; reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with such a flagrant breach of the ceasefire.

They did not achieve their goals through military aggression, nor will they through bullying. The only way forward is to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation.

I think the President’s decision to leave the blockade in place is very smart. It is having a strong effect on the ability of Iran to continue to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism — which they appear intent on doing.

I not only expect this blockade to stay in place until Iran shows a commitment to change their ways, I expect the blockade will be growing and that it could become global soon.

Well done to President Trump and his team.
