One year ago, we launched a historic preemptive strike against Iran's intention to destroy us with atomic bombs.

If we had not acted in time and with force—we would not be here today.

I reiterate my commitment: Iran will not have nuclear weapons. The same determination we acted also against Hezbollah.

Hezbollah planned to invade the Galilee with thousands of terrorists, and at the same time it planned to destroy the cities of Israel with 150,000 rockets and missiles.

Our brave fighters are destroying Hezbollah.

Iran and Hezbollah are weaker than ever and we are stronger than ever. But our campaign against them is not yet over.

Over the past 24 hours, Iran and Hezbollah tried to impose a new equation on us. This equation is unacceptable to me.

As I have done for decades, I am adamant to maintain our right to respond to such attacks.

If Iran makes the mistake and resumes its attacks against us, we will respond forcefully, because Israel has the right to defend itself, and we will maintain this right.

As I say to my friend President Trump: we will defend Israel with determination and with wit, and together, with God's help, we will bring back security to northern Israel.

The collapse effectively ends the €100 billion-plus sixth-generation fighter project, which was intended to replace the Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault Rafale from around 2040 and serve as a cornerstone of European defense autonomy.

However, the broader FCAS program is expected to continue, including development of the Combat Cloud network and the integration of manned and unmanned systems.

He who constructs his 'ladder' from 'chaos' convinces himself that he will rise to dominion over men. Yet he remains blind to the first and most inevitable truth: the maker of chaos is always its primary victim.

The man who finds no value in honouring his obligations or preserving peace, but instead prospers through discord, deception, and perpetual strife, condemns himself to an exhausting and Sisyphean labour. Each day he must ignite a new fire merely to feed the old. He is not the master of crisis, but its prisoner; and no prisoner, however imposing his shadow, can ever be called truly powerful.

The fomenters of strife are, in truth, not architects of power but captives of the very forces they unleash. For once awakened, such forces do not discriminate between ally and enemy, nor between the hand that summoned them and the lives they devour.

Their final humiliation arrives the moment they realise that the weapon they forged to subjugate others has slipped its leash and now possesses a will of its own. In that bitter awakening lies the true poverty of their power—and the beginning of their inevitable downfall.

Why I don't support an additional army: every member state has one army.

If you allocate this army to NATO, then you can't use it elsewhere — you can't also create another army, just a parallel one.

That's why it is very important that we don't create structures that could create confusion.

U.S. forces disabled an unladen oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, June 8, after the vessel violated the ongoing blockade against Iran by attempting to sail to an Iranian port.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) disabled Palau-flagged M/T Marivex as it transited international waters in the Gulf of Oman toward Iran.

An F/A-18 Super Hornet from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) fired a precision munition into the ship's engineering and steering spaces after the crew failed to comply with directions from U.S. forces.

Marivex is no longer sailing to Iran.
