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.

Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed.

Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison.

I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution.

Donald Trump is clearly the dumbest person ever to sit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has welcomed dialogue and agreement and continues to do so.

Breach of commitments, blockade and threats are main obstacles to genuine negotiations.

World sees your endless hypocritical rhetoric and contradiction between claims and actions.
