What They’re Saying About the Iran War June 4, 2026

U.S. President Donald Trump | Comments to Journalists “I hear the negotiation itself is going very well actually. It [the finalization of an agreement] could happen . . . over the weekend.” President Donald Trump | Comments to Journalists “We have the highest stock market in history with a military conflict going on, or a war—some people call it war, some people call it a military—it’s not a big thing for us. We have a great military. It’s not a big thing for us.” President Donald Trump | Truth Social “Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing. They know where the negotiations stand. The Democrats are fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome. They would rather have our Country fail than give me another, of many, victories. The four Republicans, that’s a whole other story - They’re GRANDSTANDERS! They should be ashamed of themselves.” Central Command | X “As of June 4, U.S. forces have redirected 127 commercial vessels, disabled 6 non-compliant ships, and allowed 36 vessels supporting humanitarian aid to pass.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio | Testimony Before Congress “We’re no longer conducting sustained strikes inside of Iran to degrade their military, because Epic Fury is over. We define victory as destroying their defense industrial base, significantly reducing the number of missile launchers that they possess, significantly reducing their stockpile of drones. And we achieved all those, in addition to destroying what they had left of an air force and wiping out their entire conventional navy.”  House Speaker Mike Johnson | Comments to Journalists “I am, all of us, are calling on our allied nations and friends—the Arab states in the region, and NATO partners and everyone else. The entire world has an interest in the Strait of Hormuz being reopened for commerce. That’s what [President Trump is] working on.” House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Gregory Meeks | Remarks During Congressional Debate “Enough is enough. It is time for the president to do the right thing. The people are tired of suffering because of his war of choice — suffering at the gas pump, suffering at the supermarkets.” IRAN Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei | Message “The malicious enemy has been defeated in its confrontation with the Armed Forces. Since it has received a decisive blow both in military combat and in [Iran's] public squares and streets, it’s experiencing a profound, significant humiliation.” Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei | Message “Imperialism, led by the US, has built a military base called Israel over the past 80 years. And they don’t accept the existence of a strong, independent Iran on the eastern border of the false, illegitimate geography of ‘Greater Israel’—that is, east of the Euphrates River.” Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf | Comments to Journalists “Today, the Iranian nation, in its battle with America and the Zionist regime, showed that the era of free-of-charge Iran threats is over and that any aggression will be met with a decisive, regrettable, and proportionate response.” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi | Comments to Journalists “We have never sought war. We want peace, but an honorable peace. We are prepared to continue the war, either in terms of military capability, national cohesion, or the determination to confront aggression. Our military position is even stronger than it was before the war, as we were able to maintain military production throughout the aggression, and they were unable to stop it. Therefore, we have the capacity to continue the war for as long as necessary. If reason prevails, the war will not resume. The Americans, in the recent war, tangibly understood Iran’s real power. Washington stopped short of realizing its objectives, including its initial demand of ‘unconditional surrender.’” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi | Comments to Journalists “If Israel attacks Beirut, the result will be the return to war. Either the war stops in both Iran and Lebanon, or it doesn't stop neither in Iran nor in Lebanon. Our armed forces are ready to launch devastating strikes against the occupied territories at any moment.” IRAN’S PROXIES Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem | Comments Read on Hezbollah-Controlled Media “As long as Lebanese villages are being bombed and people are being killed, northern Israel will not be safe. What we are concerned about is an end to the aggression, ceasefire and Israel’s withdrawal. We did not make any commitment to any party to stop resisting as long as there is occupation.”
