NOW, MR. TRUMP❓ IRAN is blocking the Strait of Hormuz again! The Mullah regime and its Revolutionary Guards are blackmailing the West: As long as Israel is not out of Lebanon and the USA has left the Gulf, the strait will remain closed. Just like these terrorists. (translated)

Polish politician

On Thursday, Vice President Vance issued a direct warning to members of the Israeli government who are attacking the agreement with Iran: President Trump is the only friend you have, and it would be unwise to oppose him. (translated)

Meloni, instead of thinking about her image, should have joined Trump and his Vice who this week, for the first time, criticized Israel for destroying Lebanon. The Israeli Minister of Interior said, "For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers." (translated)

With regard to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the threat from Iranian proxies, we get an idea of what it means to establish oneself in an increasingly multipolar world order. Regional powers enforce "the law" in their spheres of influence. (translated)

Two key questions after the US/Iran MoU: 1) Will the Lebanon conflict end? In that case, at what political cost for Netanyahu? And for Iran, ceasing support for Hezbollah? 2) Will an acceptable nuclear agreement be achieved in 60 days?

Trump insults the Italian President again. Meloni suspends her trip to the US. Today on @MVTARDE. (translated)

What a shocking affair between the Prime Minister of Italy @GiorgiaMeloni and President Donald Trump!!! (translated)

Italian journalist

The real scandal is not the public humiliation of President #Meloni - for at least 2 decades the US government has despised Italian governments of both the right and the left - the real scandal is the arrival of new #USSoldiers in #Sigonella, which will make us increasingly complicit in #criminal wars. (translated)

Wow, Donald Trump really angered Giorgia Meloni. The President of the USA said that the Prime Minister of Italy "begged him" for a joint photo, and he started to feel sorry for her. To this, Meloni replied that "she and Italy never beg." And she said that it's a pity that Donald Trump is acting this way. (translated)
