Iran is dying to make a deal.

We hit them hard. We had no choice because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so.

I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina!

China operates three of Cuba’s 18 known signals intelligence sites, while Russia runs two, with some facilities reportedly operated jointly with Cuban authorities.

The primary targets are said to include CENTCOM in Tampa and SOUTHCOM near Miami, though officials said much of the intercepted material involves unclassified communications.

One senior U.S. official described the Cuba-based sites as among Beijing and Moscow’s most important foreign listening posts and said further expansion is expected.

The Trump administration has used the intelligence findings to justify increasing pressure on Cuba, including intensified surveillance efforts such as near-daily drone flights and repositioned spy satellites.

Unfortunately, after having done a great job, Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving the Administration on June 30th.

Her wonderful husband, Abraham, has been recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, and she, rightfully, wants to be with him, bringing him back to good health as they currently fight a tough battle together.

I have no doubt he will soon be better than ever. Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her.

Her highly respected Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lukas, will serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

We cannot say that we have reached a point where the agreement is close; no, that is not the case.

The differences between Iran and the U.S. are so deep and numerous that it cannot be said that with a few rounds of back-and-forth or negotiations within a few weeks we must definitely reach a conclusion.

The focus of these negotiations is on ending the war, and at this stage, there will be no discussion about issues related to nuclear topics. Issues such as "ending the war on all fronts, the situation of the Strait of Hormuz, and ending U.S. maritime piracy" are still under discussion.

For now, our only focus is on ending the war.

Under the current circumstances, we must first reach an end to the war with terms that address our concerns and interests; whether or not we discuss other issues afterward is another matter.

The issue regarding nuclear discussions is very clear; we are members of the NPT and have the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

A Qatari delegation came to Iran today and held talks with Foreign Minister Araghchi.

Various countries are trying to prevent escalation of tensions, but the official mediator of the talks remains Pakistan.

We have made our positions very clear regarding Iran's highly enriched uranium.

At this stage, if we want to discuss these issues, we will obviously not reach a conclusion; we have already gone through this path before, and the differences were so great that we could not reach a result, and the other side destroyed the negotiation table due to its unreasonable demands and committed a crime by attacking Iran.

The government withdraws Hungary’s intention to leave the International Criminal Court and bans the import of agricultural products from Ukraine.

A U.S. official briefed on the diplomatic efforts described the negotiations as “agonizing,” saying draft proposals are “going back and forth every day” with little meaningful progress being made.

Stopping the war on all fronts is the fundamental prerequisite for any upcoming negotiations.

There is no final agreement yet, and efforts are ongoing to narrow the gap between Tehran and Washington.

The positive atmosphere accompanying the diplomatic efforts is important, but it's not enough for a real agreement.
