Azrail (the Angel of Death) is just.

For such an individual, whose entire life’s legacy was malice and support for aggression, nothing but a dark record will remain in the minds of people.

The death of this hot-headed and sharp-tongued senator will certainly not grieve the heart of any free person.

As long as the United States continues to violate its commitments, Iran will likewise refrain from fulfilling the obligations it has undertaken.

Iran has not agreed to the IAEA's request for access to Iranian nuclear facilities.

Yemen’s defence minister said diplomatic efforts to persuade Iran and the Houthis to stop violating Yemeni airspace have failed, warning that “patience has run out.”

He accused Tehran of using Iranian aircraft to breach the country’s airspace in defiance of international legitimacy and said Yemeni forces would respond “with all available means” to any hostile aircraft violating national sovereignty.

This comes after two Iranian Mahan Air flights departed Tehran for Sana'a today, with one still en route.

In a blatant and egregious act of aggression, the Saudi enemy has targeted Sana'a International Airport with a series of airstrikes, effectively ending any attempts at de-escalation and bearing the consequences of its aggression.

We affirm that this aggression will not go unpunished.

Peace is our goal. We cherish freedom and law.

We are ready to fight to defend these principles, always and forever, and to pay tribute in blood if necessary.

It is today's wars that we have to win. We need to hold the line on the Ukrainian front. We need to stand by our partners in the Middle East.

We need to have the capabilities to be partners in Africa. We need to have the capability to stand strong in the Indo-Pacific region, too.

This is what will determine our capacity to meet our commitments for 2030.

If we flatter nationalism, we make a grave mistake when it comes to our own history.

Patriotism, yes. But nationalism, never.

Last year, in this very same place, I said we needed to go faster and stronger in order to be free.

We needed to be feared. We needed to be strong, not out of pleasure, but out of necessity.

We're not doing this because we want to, but because that is our duty.

FCAS was perhaps not a success, but we should not stop here.

New competitors will appear, and we need to move forward when it comes to advanced technologies.

We need to build our own solutions with advanced deterrents. We need to make sure that Europe becomes an active industrial military reality.
