We don't see any provocations on the part of Iran.

In our consultations with the colleagues from Iran, we keep saying that they should deter from striking the neighboring states.

But they give a very straightforward answer: "We have been attacked, our children are being killed, and all the leaders of the state were killed. What can we do? We are forced to respond in such a way."

Russia believes that the decision of President Trump to stop the combat activities is the right one.

If we can do something, we are absolutely ready to do that. If not, then we'll be just hoping that all the parties involved will manage to resolve it with peaceful means.

We're in contact with Washington and Tehran and with Tel Aviv as well.

I have no grounds to believe that President Trump was misled because he's a very mature person, a very experienced politician.

I don't think anyone from outside can exert any significant influence on him.

We know very well the concerns of Israel: they are related to their perception that Iran seeks a nuclear weapon, even though on multiple occasions before, Iran had stated, and it keeps stating, that it entertains no such plans.

Russia has no evidence that Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

Iran never requested any weapons from us during the war, and we have not provided them with any weapons.

Unfortunately, the Russian side has once again chosen war — everyone heard today's response. It was a weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.

I think this response disappointed many people around the world. He does not want to change anything and does not want to admit that this war is liked only by him and those who profit from it — they were all smiling broadly today.

That means Russia must have less money, and pressure on Russia must increase. I thank everyone who helps us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants real peace.

Mojtaba Khamenei will not meet Trump.

Mr. Trump has brought the negotiations to a standstill.

The negotiations are at a deadlock and Trump must break this deadlock.

If Trump takes the negotiations seriously, $24 billion is not much to America. If he wants to reach an agreement with Iran, this $24 billion is a test of trust that Iran wants to have with Trump.

This is a test that America must pass, and the path will be open. This is our own money, not America's money.

If the war continues and the naval blockade is not lifted, we will drag the war to the Indian Ocean, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean.

We will give another dimension to the war by attacking these other American bases.

America will definitely suffer much more losses. America's losses will be very heavy.

Trump must make decisions independently of Israel. He must give what is the rights of the Iranian people and stop the blockade. Release our frozen assets. And this can be a new horizon for the future of Iran and America.

Trump must put aside his personal interests and think about the interests of the American people.

If Trump has the courage, many issues will be resolved in the future.

The gas price story is a serious one. We understand that people are hurting on that.

We've taken a number of measures to reduce the disruption, and we expect it to be temporary.

Listen, any time President Trump nominates you, it's the honor of a lifetime.

It was great to be with him last night when he said it.
