In footage distributed by the Israeli Government’s Press Office on 12/04/2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said:

“I would like to tell you that there is no ceasefire in Lebanon. We are continuing to strike Hezbollah with force, and we will not stop until we restore your security. Our great achievements, both in Iran and against the axis of evil, have brought about a historic change in Israel’s status in the region. They have also brought about a change in our relations with countries, relations that did not exist in the past. After repeated requests from the Lebanese government to open peace negotiations with us, I instructed the Cabinet last night to open direct negotiations with Lebanon to achieve two objectives: first, the disarmament of and second, a historic and sustainable peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon. Israel is stronger than ever. Iran is weaker than ever. I have already secured four peace agreements with Arab states. I intend to secure more. Real peace, peace born of strength.”

Speaking to Iranian Television on 12/04/2026, Esmaeil Baqaei, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman said:

“It has been about 24 to 25 hours, meaning since yesterday morning, when indirect talks began through a Pakistani mediator, with messages exchanged between the two sides, and the process has continued uninterrupted until now. Discussions went on throughout the night, covering a range of topics, including those raised in our 10-point proposal as well as points made by the other side. In reality, we reached understandings on several issues, but on two or three important matters, the views were far apart, and ultimately these discussions did not lead to an agreement. Diplomacy never ends. Diplomacy is always a tool for securing and safeguarding national interests, and diplomats must do their duty in all circumstances, whether in wartime or peacetime. Now, there are a few points to consider. First, this round of negotiations took place after forty-odd days, forty days of imposed war, and just a few days after the ceasefire, in an atmosphere filled not only with distrust but also with suspicion and ill feeling. The American side, together with the Zionist regime, has committed an act of military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran for the second time in nine months. Therefore, it was only natural that we never expected from the beginning to reach an agreement in a single session. I don’t think anyone had such an expectation, even though I mentioned that this session was the longest we’ve had in the past year. Another point to consider is the complexity of the subjects and the complexity of the conditions. Some of the new subjects this time were added to the negotiation topics, such as the Strait of Hormuz or the region. These have their own conditions, characteristics, and requirements, but I think that in any case, we must, in all circumstances, act as diplomats and as the diplomatic apparatus, pursuing our national interests, using various tools for the protection of the security, rights, and interests of the Iranian people. The efforts of Pakistan in recent weeks, and especially these past two or three days, are commendable. We thank them for their gracious hospitality. We are confident that contacts and consultations between the Islamic Republic of Iran, Pakistan, and our other friends in the region will continue. Diplomacy, alongside other components of the government, alongside our good people, and alongside the defenders of the nation, is ready for all kinds of cooperation and all kinds of sacrifice to safeguard the interests and national security of the country.”

Speaking by phone to Fox News, President of the United States of America Donald Trump said:

“Well, we’re going to be blockading. It’ll take a little while, but it’ll be effective pretty soon. And we had meetings yesterday. They, as you said, lasted 21 hours. That was a long meeting. We had some very, very good representatives, as you know, JD and Steve and Jared. So we were well represented. But we didn’t get there on the important issue. They want to have nuclear weapons. They’re not going to have nuclear weapons. I’ve been saying that for 30 years. I would never allow that to happen before I was in politics. And that country will not have nuclear weapons. Most countries shouldn’t be allowed to have them, but that country will not have nuclear weapons.”

“Artificial intelligence, alongside digital platforms and autonomous systems, is reshaping the very nature of the economy, social relations, the social sphere, education, healthcare, logistics, industry, defence and security – indeed, every aspect of the country’s life. Our sovereignty depends on our ability to keep pace with global changes, and in the near future, without any exaggeration, so does the very existence of the Russian state. It is essential to bear in mind that artificial intelligence technologies are developing rapidly. For instance, fundamental language models and neural networks with colossal computing power are becoming increasingly complex.

Language models are used to create intelligent assistants, known as artificial intelligence agents – AI agents. They no longer merely carry out specific commands and answer simple user questions, but operate autonomously, largely without human intervention, to solve tasks set by humans. Crucially, these AI agents are already reaching a new level of autonomy: they are learning to plan their actions and evaluate the results they obtain, and to interact with people and the real world. Last year, in a sense, a watershed moment occurred: the overwhelming majority of participants in an experiment mistook the machine’s responses for a conversation with a real person, for a dialogue with a conversation partner; in other words, these AI agents demonstrated their ability to mimic human cognitive and even emotional behaviour. According to forecasts, in the very near future, these agents will also be able to pass tests of physical capabilities. For example, it will be difficult to determine who is driving a car – a human or a neuropilot.”

Ebrahim Zolfaghari, Spokesman of the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in footage aired on Iranian Television on 07/04/2026:

“In the first part of this operation, this morning, the IRGC Navy fighters targeted the container ship SDN 7 Aries, belonging to the Zionist regime, with a cruise missile, which, after being destroyed, caught fire. The amphibious assault helicopter carrier of the terrorist U.S. army with the hull number LHA 7 was targeted by offensive projectiles, which, after this wave, was forced to retreat to the depths of the Indian Ocean.

The strategic centres in Haifa, the chemical companies and factories in Beersheba, and the gathering place of Zionist soldiers in Petah Tikva were precisely hit by ballistic missiles of the brave men of the Aerospace Force of the IRGC.”

In response to a journalist during a press conference, Kier Starmer said:

“Firstly, NATO is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen, and it has kept us safe for many decades, and we are fully committed to NATO. Secondly, that whatever the pressure on me and others, whatever the noise, I’m going to act in the British national interest in all the decisions that I make. And that’s why I’ve been absolutely clear that this is not our war and we’re not going to get dragged into it. But I’m equally clear that when it comes to defence and security and our economic future, we have to have closer ties with Europe. That’s why we had the summit last year. This year, as I’ve just announced, there’ll be a further summit. There, we will make good on the commitments that we put in place last year, but we will also go further in relation to the alignment.”

Donald Trump, President: “But I just want to tell you, NATO treated us very badly. And you have to remember, because they’ll be treating us badly again if we ever need them. And hopefully we’re never going to need them. I don’t think we will need them. I don’t think they can do very much. I actually asked the UK, who should be our best. In fact, the king is coming over here in two weeks. He’s a nice guy. King Charles. But should be our best, right, Brooke? But they weren’t our best. I said, You have two old broken down aircraft carriers. You think you could send them over? Oh, I’ll have to ask my team. I said, You’re the Prime Minister. You don’t have… No, no, no. I have to ask my team, President. My team has to meet. We’re meeting next week. Oh, next week? But the war already started next week. It’s not good. The war is going to be over. In three days, my prediction, it turns out. By the way, do we have the greatest military ever?”
