When it comes to President Trump's strategy against Iran, he's made it clear that he'll consider and pursue any and every option necessary to achieve America's objective of ending the Iranian nuclear threat once and for all.

The Iranian regime does not understand anything but strength.

They are used to a very simple, repeatable pattern, which is that they make a deal, they break a deal, they push, and then the West backs down, other nations in the region back down.

They have met President Trump, a leader of the world's number one superpower who has finally broken that cycle and is learning that when you violate your deal with Trump, you pay a price beyond anything you can imagine.

If the regime keeps choosing the path of conflict, they aren't going to have the capability of being able to wage war, nor will they have an economy to support a war machine. That's the choice they face. It's never been clearer.

The comments came after reports that Iranian forces had shot down a Tiguar M drone manufactured by Polish company uAvionics a few days ago, which has not publicly confirmed the claims.

"I always advise caution in these types of situations. There are many companies producing drones in Poland, but the Polish state is not the author of such actions," Kosiniak-Kamysz said.

The war in Ukraine has impeded the ability of Russia and the U.S. to find areas of agreement on other topics.

We think it would be good for Russia if that war came to an end.

The U.S. remains open and willing to play a constructive role in bringing that war to an end.

China has been clear that they don't support any tolling or restrictions on global shipping through international waterways.

A statement like that from a country like China is important.

The Houthis threatened global shipping in the past. This is not a new threat. We've been engaged with the Saudis a number of times over the last week in regard to that threat.

Iran is in the middle of it. Iran is the troublemaker.

They decided to send direct flights from Tehran into Yemen, carrying IRGC elements and others into the country. And the Saudis responded to it. And that's what's led to the situation we're now facing.
