🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

If war starts, that would be a disaster for everybody.

In the previous war, we tried hard to limit the scope of the war between Iran and Israel.

This time, if it is between Iran and the U.S., since the U.S. bases are spread all over the region, then inevitably many parts of the region will be involved.

In return, we expect sanction lifting so that deal is possible. Let’s not talk about impossible things.

🇺🇸📁 — Jeffrey Epstein used the infamous Charlottesville line "fine people on both sides" after Steve Bannon compared his money to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's:

Bannon: Institutions that are set up and try to put forward knowledge and understanding and truth, should they take your money?

Epstein: Derek Bok at Harvard said taking money for good causes is a good thing.

Bannon: So if Hitler took all the gold out of the teeth of the Jews, said, "I want to give this to Heidelberg University to fund the Leibniz chairs, so that I can study high-energy physics," Derek Bok would say that was fine?

Epstein: Again, these questions are questions where "good people on both sides," like your Charlottesville, could differ. I don’t know the answer to this question.

🇺🇸📁 — Steve Bannon presses Jeffrey Epstein on whether his fortune consists of "dirty money," and Epstein responds by redirecting the question to the mothers of children he helped vaccinate:

Bannon: Is your money dirty money?

Epstein: No, it’s not.

Bannon: Why is it not dirty money?

Epstein: Because I earned it.

Bannon: You earned it advising the worst people in the world, right? That do enormous bad things, and just to make more money.

Epstein: I think ethics is always a complicated subject. But I can tell you that with the money I gave to help try to eradicate polio in Pakistan and India…

I think you might want to ask their mothers who received the vaccine, who know their child now won't get polio, and ask them if Epstein should have helped these people with their money. Is that a fair question?

Cuba is a failing nation. It has been for a long time. But now it doesn't have Venezuela to prop it up.

We're talking to the people from Cuba, the highest people in Cuba, to see what happens. I want the people that came here that were horribly treated by Cuba to be taken care of, to be able to go back and do what they have to do.

I think we're going to make a deal with Cuba. Cuba is in bad shape. Cuba has a humanitarian problem.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — U.S. allies in the Gulf believe "it’s only a matter of time before the Iranian regime falls," but they fear far greater instability if the fall is triggered by a U.S. attack, which is why they’re pushing for a diplomatic off-ramp, according to WaPo, citing a western official.

They support collapse, but not in a sudden and brutal way. They prefer a more controlled erosion of the regime.

🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — Gulf states are cautioning U.S. officials that Iran’s missile program can still cause serious damage to American interests in the region, according to The Washington Post.

➡️ While Iran’s arsenal took major hits during the 12-day war with Israel last June, an assessment by a U.S. ally in the Gulf concludes that core components remain operational and some capabilities have already been restored, leaving Tehran with meaningful strike potential.

➡️ One Western official said Iran believes the dynamic with the U.S. changed fundamentally after Trump publicly backed the protests, with the regime now viewing any potential clash with Washington as an "existential threat."

🇵🇰❌🇵🇰 — Pakistani security forces killed 145 militants after a 40-hour counteroffensive responding to a wave of coordinated gun and bomb attacks across Balochistan on Friday and Saturday, one of the deadliest flare-ups in years.

➡️ Nearly 50 people were killed overall, including 17 security personnel and 31 civilians, according to provincial officials.

➡️ The separatist group Baloch Liberation Army claimed responsibility, saying it launched a coordinated operation called “Herof” (Black Storm).

➡️ Attackers, some disguised as civilians, struck hospitals, schools, banks, and markets and targeted security sites across Quetta, Gwadar, Mastung, and Noshki, briefly blocking roads and attempting suicide bombings, prompting large-scale counter-operations by the army, police, and counterterrorism units.

➡️ Pakistan accused “Indian-sponsored militants” of carrying out the attacks, an allegation India denied, saying Pakistan was deflecting from internal issues.

🇺🇸📁 — Jeffrey Epstein talks about how he was still making phone calls to government officials in Washington, D.C., including officials at the Treasury Department, while being in jail:

Bannon: You're making a call to Washington, D.C., to talk to somebody, some deputy secretary?

Epstein: Someone in Treasury.

Bannon: Didn't you have a moment of self-reflection and think, "How did I end up on this metal cot when I should be at the center of things?"

Epstein: No, I had a telephone, so I said I can talk to [whoever]; it makes no difference where I am.

In fact, I'm still be talking to the same person if I were at my home in Palm Beach, but I'm here in jail; I can dial my own phone.

Think how much better that was. I had to decide who was the right person to call. That was unusual for me.

🇺🇸📁 — Jeffrey Epstein to Steve Bannon on Wall Street:

In many professions, including Wall Street, Wall Street makes it sound complicated.

They don't want the little guy to understand what they do because they make so much money and they don't do very much.

So they couch it in words like "derivative," "stock options," "commodity futures," and "different types of contracts."

It's all fair; everyone is capable of understanding it. It is not complicated. But Wall Street, because they make so much money from doing fairly simple things, needs to make it more complicated than it really is.

Epstein: No, but I do have a good mirror.

Bannon: It's a serious question, Do you think you're the devil himself?

Epstein: I don't know; why would you say that?

Bannon: Because you have all the attributes, you're incredibly smart...

Epstein: Is the Devil smart?

Bannon: The devil's brilliant.

We have lost our trust to the United States as a negotiating partner. There are now some intermediators, some friendly countries in the region who are trying to build this confidence.

Bannon: When do you think human life starts?

Epstein: You're asking me to measure something again.

Bannon: It can't be measured. You just hate making commitments.

Epstein: That's why I'm not married.

Bannon: All your bullshit and happy talking can't be measured. You don't even like a commitment when you answer a question.

Epstein: I don't know what it means to be measured.

Bannon: You do know what it means to be measured. You’re one of the leading currency traders, hedge fund guys or stock market financial wizards. You’re in the high priesthood of high finance. You certainly know how to measure. That’s why you’re a billionaire. Any other answer besides that is total and complete bullshit, and you know it.

Epstein: I know very few things.

Bannon: You know things can be measured. You measure every day. You weigh and measure people. You weigh and measure leaders. You weigh and measure economies. You weigh and measure politics. Your whole life, in fact, is measuring.

Epstein: So what you’ve now done is a great thing is you’ve used the word measure, a mathematic term in the common vernacular, and abused it. So I don’t even recognize what it means. It’s so abusive to my field.

🇺🇸📁 — Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon discuss the human soul:

Bannon: Have you ever seen someone die? When they die, their spirit leaves.

Epstein: Their soul leaves. No question.

Bannon: Because people would normally think you were soulless. To have you talk about you actually believe in it and have done some thinking about it is pretty shocking in its own right, isn't it?

Epstein: What [Professor] Leibniz said is, the soul is so strange because God took chemicals, which is simply the material, like tables, and he somehow made this material able to have a thought. How strange is that?

Not only does it have a soul, but there's some way it was put together that this material substance is able to think. It's obvious to everyone that there's such a thing as a soul.
