- Trump: “If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet. So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don’t make bad deals! President DJT”- Senior Trump administration official to CBS: The Iranians agreed in principle to a deal that would include the removal of the uranium enriched by Iran.
- Fox News from a senior White House official: No deal without enriched uranium. We won't sign a deal with Iran today or tomorrow. The president typically gives them 5 to 7 days to reach a deal. We will not make a bad deal, that's for sure
- Senior official in the Trump administration: No signing of the agreement is expected today. There are still some details to be finalized. There is still back-and-forth regarding certain details, some words that are important to us, and some words that are important to them. The Iranian system in its current configuration is not moving quickly—Axios
- The IDF Chief of Staff on Iran: "We are prepared to return to intense fighting immediately and to weaken the Iranian terror regime and its capabilities more deeply. We will maintain readiness and flexibility to act as long as necessary."
- Fox News: A senior official in the administration says, "If the Iranians show significant flexibility on the enrichment issue, then we will also show significant flexibility on easing sanctions." Regarding the nuclear issue, the current plan is to deal with the entire stockpile of enriched material. "If a final agreement is reached where the Iranians continue to enrich, then there is really no final agreement," the official added
- PM Netanyahu: I spoke last night with President Trump about the memorandum of understanding to open the Strait of Hormuz and the upcoming negotiations for a final agreement on Iran's nuclear program. I expressed to President Trump my deep appreciation for his steadfast commitment to Israel's security, including during the "Roar of the Lion" and "Epic Fury" operations, in which US and Israeli forces fought shoulder to shoulder against the Iranian threat. President Trump and I agreed that any final agreement with Iran must remove the nuclear threat. This means dismantling Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities and removing the enriched nuclear material from its territory. President Trump reiterated Israel's right to defend itself against threats on all fronts, including in Lebanon. The partnership between us and our two countries has been proven on the battlefield and has never been stronger. My policy, like President Trump's policy, remains unchanged: Iran will not have nuclear weapons
- Trump: …” I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed.”
- Netanyahu posts a picture of himself with Trunp declaring "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon "
- Rubio: Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon, certainly not as long as Donald Trump is President of the United States.
- Trump to ABC: "I can't talk about the deal; it's totally up to me, and if there is news, it will only be good news. I don't make bad deals."
- Rubio: "The idea that somehow this president, given everything he's already proven he's willing to do, is going to somehow agree to a deal that ultimately winds up putting Iran in a stronger position when it comes to nuclear ambitions is absurd."
- Over 20 explosive drones launched today by Hezbollah towards IDF positions in the North.
- Trump: “One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration - THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact! The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes! Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. I would like to thank, thus far, all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
- Iranian official to Reuters: Contrary to reports, we DID NOT agree to hand over highly enriched uranium; the nuclear issue is not part of the preliminary agreement
- Iran Tasnim news: Timeline: A 30-day period to resolve the siege and lift the naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. A 60-day period to hold talks on the nuclear issue. For now, Iran has agreed to nothing on the nuclear front
- Fox News: The emerging agreement stipulates that US forces will remain near Iran for 30 days
- Senior member of the Iranian regime negotiation team, Marandi: “The Strait of Hormuz is and will remain under Iran’s control. If Trump fails to meet all of his obligations, the Islamic Republic knows how to respond. The old order is gone.”
- IDF forces identified four Hezbollah terrorists who entered a terror infrastructure. The forces attacked the infrastructure and eliminated the terrorists operating from within it.
