Netanyahu's criminal trial resumes on Sun. A region-wide ceasefire, incl in Lebanon, would hasten his jailing. If the US wishes to crater its economy by letting Netanyahu kill diplomacy, that would ultimately be its choice. We think that would be dumb but are prepared for it Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
We stand alongside our clients, partners and employees with a clear commitment to provide support and reassurance when it is needed most DIFC Authority Chief Executive Arif Amiri
I feel the world is so hard, so cruel Hussein Saleh
I strongly condemned Israel’s ongoing aggression against Lebanon and offered condolences over the loss of thousands of precious lives in Lebanon as a result of these hostilities. I reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to advance peace efforts, including facilitating dialogue through the upcoming Iran–U.S. talks in Islamabad Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif
We were hopeful when the announcement of the ceasefire came. But it was just a false hope. All we want is peace UAE resident Amaani
This is a dangerous sign of deception and lack of commitment to potential agreements. The continuation of these actions will render negotiations meaningless. Our fingers remain on the trigger. Iran will never abandon its Lebanese sisters and brothers. Masoud Pezeshkian
PM Shehbaz Sharif publicly and clearly stressed the Lebanon issue; there is no room for denial and backtracking. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf

The flag of the UAE is a symbol of strength and pride... We call upon the sons of the UAE and its residents on its blessed land to raise it above homes, institutions, and buildings Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Iran has made clear - through both its statements and actions - that passage is subject to permission, conditions and political leverage. That is not freedom of navigation. That is coercion. Sultan Al Jaber
Our message is clear: Whoever acts against Israeli civilians—will be struck. We will continue to strike Hezbollah wherever required, until we restore full security to the residents of the north. Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli strikes killed hundreds last night, making it hard to argue that such heavy-handed actions fall within self-defence. Israeli actions are putting the US-Iran ceasefire under severe strain. The Iran truce should extend to Lebanon. Kaja Kallas
Our collective stance must be firm and clear toward the features of the upcoming phase, in a way that enhances stability and security in the region Anwar Gargash
"We've seen the humanitarian consequences, the huge mass displacement of people in Lebanon. So we do strongly want to see the ceasefire extended to Lebanon Yvette Cooper
We are seeing things going in the right direction, but it's going to take a little time. JD Vance
I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't. We never made that promise. If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart... over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them, and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that's ultimately their choice. JD Vance
"All ships intending to transit the Strait of Hormuz are hereby notified that in order to comply with the principles of maritime safety and to be protected from possible collisions with sea mines...they should take alternative routes for traffic in the Strait of Hormuz Iran's Revolutionary Guards
