🇺🇸🇺🇸❌🌹 — US Vice-President JD Vance on Abdulrahman El-Sayed:

"This is not a guy who wants a prosperous economy where autoworkers and everybody else can actually raise a family, ideally on a single wage if they so choose. What he is actually trying to build is an economy where you tax some people, you give it to Democrat Party favorite interest groups."​

🇺🇸📞🇮🇷 — US Vice-President JD Vance on the Strait of Hormuz Crisis:
We're talking to the Iranians, of course. We're trying to maximize the amount of oil and gas that is coming out of the Strait of Hormuz.

We're just trying to make sure that we get what we need out of this particular conflict. We've destroyed their nuclear program, we've destroyed their conventional military, we've radically reduced their asymmetric military abilities, and right now, we're trying to see if they're willing to make the kind of long-term changes that would be necessary to have a better relationship with the United States—and if not, that's fine too.

We're just going to keep on applying the pressure that we can apply and getting as much oil and gas out of the Middle East so that Americans can enjoy lower gas and energy prices.

🇺🇸❌🏴‍☠️ — US Vice President JD Vance on White House's Anti-Fraud campaign:
I was literally shocked by this, the first time that I realized, that when we send, for example, $8 billion to the state of California to run their food stamp program, they don’t even verify eligibility.

You could have illegal aliens on that program... but the program is not there for illegal aliens.

It's not there for fraudsters, and what California and so many Blue states have done is really turn down the eligibility requirements, turn down the verification requirements, and we unfortunately are just going to have to force them into some basic stuff—things like checking when somebody signs up for food stamps, are they in this country legally?

🇮🇷❌🇦🇪🇸🇦🇴🇲 — Geoinsider: Iranian Regular Army (Artesh) spokesman Mohammad Akraminia says the “Iranian order” now governing the Strait of Hormuz is irreversible, warning that the U.S. must accept the current situation or face substantially higher costs.

Akraminia said Iran’s armed forces will continue until that order is fully established.

📝 The statement does not announce new navigation rules or suspend the Iran–Oman talks, but it reinforces Tehran’s military position that any settlement will not simply restore the pre-war status quo.

🔥 A senior Ukrainian official told AFP that Kyiv's goal is to weaken Belgrade's ties with Moscow, with talks expected to cover EU integration, bilateral economic ties and energy cooperation and security issues

🤝 Ukraine and Serbia backed each other territorial integrities in regards of Kosovo and Crimea, but with Serbia still refusing to join the Anti-Russian sanctions set by EU, a position Vučić says "will remain the same" for now.

Can Serbia still count on Ukraine’s position regarding the non-recognition of Kosovo’s declared independence?​

Zelensky:
We respect the territorial integrity of our partners. We respect international law.

Therefore, our position regarding what you mentioned—the unilateral declaration of Kosovo’s independence—remains unchanged.

Likewise, we are grateful to our partners for respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, including, of course, that Crimea belongs to Ukraine.

Serbia’s position on this also remains unchanged.
