🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡️ — Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

It's important for the Iranians to understand that the Kingdom, but also its partners who have been attacked and beyond, have very significant capacities and capabilities that they could bring to bear should they choose to do so.

The patience that is being exhibited is not unlimited.

Do they have a day, two days, a week? I'm not going to telegraph that.

I would hope that they understand the message of the meeting today and recalculate quickly and stop attacking their neighbors. But I am doubtful that they have that wisdom.

🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡️ — Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

Iran is trying to exercise a policy of blackmail for their political ends.

They need to understand that neither the Kingdom nor the Gulf countries would accept blackmail, and escalation would be met with escalation.

🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡️ — Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

The targeting of Riyadh, while a number of diplomats are meeting, I cannot this see as coincidental.

I think that's the clearest signal of how Iran feels about diplomacy. It doesn't believe in talking to its neighbours.

It tries to pressure its neighbours. And what I can say categorically, that's not going to work.

Iran's insistence on violating good neighborhood principles has led to the erosion of regional trust in it, and therefore we have stressed the need for Iran to stop its aggressions.

🇮🇶 — Kata'ib Hezbollah has announced a five-day pause on targeting the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, but warns this pause is conditional on Israeli/American forces not bombing Dahieh and civilian areas of Iraq, and America moving all CIA personnel from their stations and keeping them inside the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — The Trump administration's wartime messaging on Iran has broken from traditional norms, using TikTok-style videos and aggressive language that has unsettled former defense officials and lawmakers, POLITICO reports.

➡️ A senior White House official defends the approach as effective, saying it generated over 3 billion impressions over a four-day period alone and is designed to reach younger audiences. The official argues the videos highlight the “heroic work” of U.S. troops in a way that engages viewers, not disrespects them.

➡️ The strategy uses every available tool to shape messaging and influence audiences, with the official noting it’s “a different time” with a different audience.

➡️ Another senior White House official said, "We’re over here just grinding away on banger memes, dude. There’s an entertainment factor to what we do. But ultimately, it boils down to the fact that no one has ever attempted to communicate with the American public this way before."

🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani, who was the boss of the Revolutionary Guards, which is the gang of gangsters that effectively runs Iran.

Alongside him, we also eliminated the commander of the Basij — these are the assistants of the gangsters, who spread terror in the streets of Tehran and other cities in Iran against the population

We are undermining the regime in the hope of giving the people an opportunity to remove it.

It will not happen all at once, and it will not be easy. But if we persist, we will give them an opportunity to take their fate into their own hands.

We are helping our American allies in the Gulf. We will assist both indirectly and through direct actions.

There are many more surprises. We will wage war with cunning. We will not reveal all the tricks here, but as I told you, there are many.

🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡️ — Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

To me, it was clear that the attack today was timed to coincide with the foreign ministers' meeting in order to attempt, I don't know, to intimidate those present, to send home the message that Iran will not stop.

All I can say is we were not intimidated.

I have to tell you what little trust there was before has completely been shattered; it has been shattered on multiple levels.

The Kingdom is not going to succumb to pressure. On the contrary, this pressure will backfire. It will backfire politically and morally.

We have reserved the right to take military actions if deemed necessary. And if the time comes, the leadership of the Kingdom will take the necessary decision.

We will not shy away from protecting our country and our economic resources.

🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡️ — Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

If Iran believes that the Gulf states are incapable of responding, its calculations are wrong.

The political responses are available, and nonpolitical responses are equally available on the table.

Iran needs to review its intentions if they are sincere in extending an arm of friendship and brotherhood.

First of all, you need to uphold principles of Islam, which wouldn't allow a true Muslim to attack their neighbors, especially Muslim neighbors, and particularly civilians and the interests of Muslim nations.

It seems that Iran didn't consider all of this, and all this comes at a price.

🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡️ — Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud:

Aggression against neighboring countries is a violation of conventions and laws and against the principles of the Islamic faith.

This doesn't serve nor contribute to Islamic unity, but rather undermines the same. The countries today have stressed that Iran needs to review its decisions.

Its continued attacks against our countries would serve it no good but rather would have adverse implications that would cost Iran a high political price and would increase its isolation.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — NEW: The Trump administration is considering deploying thousands of additional U.S. troops to the Middle East as it weighs expanding operations against Iran, according to Reuters.

➡️ The move would give Trump more options, including securing oil tanker routes through the Strait of Hormuz, which could involve air, naval, and potentially ground forces along Iran’s shoreline.

➡️ The administration has also discussed sending troops to Kharg Island, the hub for about 90% of Iran’s oil exports, though such an operation would be highly risky due to Iran’s missile and drone capabilities.

➡️ Another option under consideration is deploying forces to secure Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles.

➡️ No final decision has been made, and sources say ground deployments are not imminent.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a funding request of over $200 billion for the war in Iran, according to WaPo, citing a senior administration official.

➡️ The proposal aims to replenish and expand critical weapons stockpiles after extensive U.S. and Israeli strikes over the past three weeks and would far exceed the cost of the campaign so far.

➡️ The War Department has considered multiple funding proposals in recent weeks. However, some White House officials doubt such a large request would be approved by Congress.

➡️ The war’s cost already surpassed $11 billion in the first week alone.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
