"Out of conscience or the cost of life, the Americans said No to war and we support this message", writes the president of the Iranian Parliament and chief negotiator in the talks between Iran and the United States, Ghalibaf, on X. “If the US government betrays the will of its public opinion to serve its international masters and blackmailers, it will find that our No will be accompanied by a nightmare,” he adds.
Meanwhile, the US president makes it known that the United States has no immediate plans to launch new attacks against Iran, but is ready to intervene if necessary. Trump, in an interview with the Financial Times, clarified: "We are ready to intervene if necessary, but there may be no reason to do so", adding that the confrontation with Tehran is in a favorable phase for Washington: "It seems that we are getting everything we want".
The president also reported that indirect talks were underway with Iran on the fate of its stockpile of enriched uranium. Trump has also argued that the blockade of Iranian ports is putting pressure on Tehran's economy and that oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is higher than before the war.
Iran to the USA: "Attacking us leads to your defeat, not victory"
"Attacking Iran does not lead to victory. It only leads to defeat." This was stated by the spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, addressing the United States. "The American people have sent you a clear message. Yet, if you continue to ignore reality, ignore the lessons of history, and persist on this dangerous course, the consequences of this grave miscalculation will go far beyond what you have already witnessed," Baghaei said on Citing "strategic misjudgments" by President Donald Trump's administration in the conflict against Tehran, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson added that "Iran is not a nation that can be understood through arrogance, intimidated by threats or brought to its knees by aggression."
Mojtaba Khamenei: "Those who hope they will change their approach are greatly mistaken"
"Those who have even the slightest hope that the behavior of the hegemonic system can change" or who "imagine that making concessions to the United States can dissuade them from hostility towards the Iranian nation" are greatly mistaken. This is what is stated in a statement by Mojtaba Khamenei, published on the website of the Supreme Leader of Iran, who has never been seen in public since he took over from his father, Ali Khamenei, in March.
Herzog: "There is no clear winner after the vote, avoid new elections"
“In the current reality, in which there is no clear winner after the elections, I ask you to demonstrate originality and creativity, courage and goodwill, so that the State of Israel emerges victorious. To avoid new elections and to build a stable and viable government for the people of Israel, I expect the factions and their representatives to understand that it is not possible to keep all commitments and promises. It is important for me to emphasize that I am not asking anyone to give up their core values.” Israeli President Isaac Herzog said this after officially accepting the election results.

Slogans against the United States and Israel have always resounded on this occasion.
Herzog: "Consultations begin on the symbolic day of Rabin's killing"
"I begin the consultations on a symbolic day, November 4, the date on which Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin was killed 31 years ago. Forever this date will be a stark memory, a warning of what can happen to us when differences turn into hatred, when political rivalry leads to violence. There is no place for violence among us, not physical or verbal, not against individuals nor against entire sectors of society." This was said by the President of Israel Isaac Herzog after accepting the election result presented by the President of the Election Commission.
Israel, Election Commission: "Allegations of interference under investigation but in any case limited impact, no postponement of results"
Allegations of election interference are being investigated but for now there are only suspicions which, even if confirmed, would have limited potential impact and cannot justify a postponement of the results. This was stated by the president of the Central Election Commission, Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, according to 'The Times of Israel'. The full Central Election Commission approved last week's election results in a largely symbolic vote. This morning, the results had been ratified by the presidium of the commission, the most influential body. The vote, with 15 votes in favour, two against and 14 abstentions, follows a Likud-led attempt to delay approval based on allegations of electoral fraud. Sohlberg rejected the request, stating in writing that the commission does not have the authority to delay certification based on information related to investigations or law enforcement concerns.

Furthermore, Ben Gvir asked the head of the agency David Zini to arrest all the leaders of the Arab parties and interrogate them "in the underground cells of the Shin Bet", even without the approval of the Attorney General and also called for the immediate suspension of the certification of the election results and the formation of a government.

We will certainly impose new defeats on him", said Eje'i in a message on February 28, which resulted in the death of at least 168 people, mostly male and female students of the school.
Bonelli: "Victory of the Democrats rejects Trump's crazy war policy"
"This extraordinary victory for the Democrats makes the world breathe a sigh of relief, because this crazy logic of war must be stopped. Trump is a man who has enriched himself, together with his family, through wars and has started a policy of criminal rearmament. 2025 ended with spending of 2,888 billion dollars. I hope that Trump's friends who, in Europe and in the rest of the world, have been subordinated to this madness, starting with Italy, will also stop. The Americans have responded in a clear and clear to this ideological narrative, even a little toxic, of the war against the West. This extraordinary reaction of the American people demonstrates that the people are friends among themselves and that no people are enemies of the American one. The point is that today those who govern the planet do so with the desire to assert military supremacy to build a new geopolitical order, while Trump has done nothing but export wars, one after the other, to fuel the American war industry." Thus Angelo Bonelli, AVS deputy and EV co-spokesman, speaking during the Agorà broadcast on Rai3.
