What they said

I do not trust that Netanyahu will not launch a security escalation before the elections, and my concern is focused on the Iranian arena

Again, remember that it (the cost) is only manufactured during wartime, it is a bit high, it is a cheap price that must be paid. We are paying a cheap price to preserve the security of the world and the security of our country. They can destroy a city. Let them destroy Los Angeles, let them destroy San Diego. This is a very cheap price, and it will end very soon.

Dialogue acquires no meaning and has no chance of success unless it is based on mutual respect and mutual commitments, and if it is free of pressures and threats.

Everyone knew

The international community has a collective interest in strictly adhering to international law in order to restore the flow of maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz

its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia in confronting these attacks

fruitful talks

The United States will not attack Iran before the midterm congressional elections scheduled for November 3

Do you want to see the shock and the problems? As I said before. Let them hit San Diego or Los Angeles and you will see bad things happen. It will lead the country to collapse. We will not allow that to happen. We protect our cities and our country and we will not allow them.

Making a deal is not the option I want, but they are already ready to give us anything so that we stop, and they will certainly never get a nuclear weapon.

Renewing the war before the elections in Israel may delay it.

The desperate attempts and malicious strikes against the pillars of the regime and security in society did not deter the internal security forces from performing their duties

The focus of the American-Zionist enemy and its insistence on directing strikes at various levels of the internal security forces revealed the importance of the institution

The Druze in Sweida do not want to be part of the state established by the Sharaa regime; they look to Israel.

Productive talks with Iran

Iran will not possess a nuclear weapon

Despite the very bad situation Iran is experiencing, economically and militarily, and despite the blockade remaining in full force and effect, we will not launch any attack on Iran at any time before the midterm elections

We are currently holding fruitful discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran

On the Israeli side, Benjamin Netanyahu faces the parliamentary elections, which may ring alarm bells and push him to engage in a new confrontation to postpone them, in order to escape the pressures of losing power and the multiplicity of regional conflict fronts.

The continuation of the siege and pressure strategy, while keeping the possibility of war alive.

The sharp separation between war and siege is inaccurate; the current phase is in a gray area where parties seek gains through negotiation and dual pressure.

The Treasury Department is working to deprive the authoritarian regime in Tehran of the funds it uses to wage war in the region, and we will continue to expose those who enable the regime to sell oil.

The need to manage the space of diplomacy and the battlefield on Iran's part, as the country's future is being determined today. Correct action will strengthen our country's power in the region and in the future, while a mistake will undoubtedly lead to great regret.

We are having fruitful talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I would like to make clear to everyone that although Iran is suffering from an extremely bad situation, economically and militarily, and the blockade will remain in full force and effect, with oil flowing in record quantities through the Strait of Hormuz (22 million barrels last night alone, without a single barrel coming from or going to Iran!), we will not launch any attack on Iran before the midterm elections scheduled in the United States on November 3.
