Reporter: Why didn't you tell allies about the war before attacking Iran? Trump: We wanted it to be a surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

I’m speechless. If only I could tell you how heartbreaking it is to read such news while being in Ukraine, in a city that was struck several times today by russian drones.

Must watch #BBCQT Caroline Lucas, "I think this is an illegal reckless war with Iran that is being waged by Trump and Netanyahu" "They have massively underestimated their enemy" "Trump is a bully and a blackmailer" "He has no plan for an exit strategy, says he will exit when he feels it in his bones" "This is a President said who said he would bomb Kharg island just for fun" "He suggested he might attack Cuba as well" "The type of language Trump and Hegseth are using is just so disgusting" "I've got their words: watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today, what a great honour to kill them" "This is not Grand Theft Auto, this is real people real lives" "And yet you get the sense from the White House that this is some big game" "And all of us are suffering from it"

I’ve been very supportive of POTUS on Iran & believe getting rid of Maduro was good. But I’ve been appalled by this Admin's tone, rhetoric, tactics & strategy toward Europe. Denigrating our allies has been terrible. Weakness communicated to Putin has caused grave damage. Passive-aggressive communication toward President Zelenskyy is embarrassing. I hear from our allies about the damage this has done & it’s going to take time to repair.

Brutal. Ossoff dragged the lie into the light and made it sit there naked. That is the whole Trump game: big macho slogans for the cameras, then fog, dodging, and excuses the moment someone asks real questions. Not strength. Not clarity. Just another administration trying to bully reality into submission.

Jon Ossoff just OBLITERATED Tulsi Gabbard while grilling her on Trump's claims from June that Iran's nuclear program was obliterated. Watch this. 🔥

Today the U.S. Senate asked Donald Trump's intelligence chief if the threat from Iran was imminent. Sky's @Stone_SkyNews analyses the hearing. Live updates: trib.al/VZYO4T7

Trump has a terrifying amount of blood on his hands. By holding these fake negotiations, he is buying time for Russia while legitimizing its unfair demands and rhetoric. We should never forgive him

WSJ: Russia is sharing satellite imagery and drone technology with Iran. Moscow has expanded intelligence sharing and military cooperation to help keep Tehran in the fight against the United States, and Israeli military might. Russia has been expanding its intelligence sharing and military cooperation with Iran, providing satellite imagery and improved drone technology to aid Tehran's targeting of U.S. Forces in the region. Russia is trying to prolong a war that is benefiting Russia militarily and economically,

Russia is helping Iran kill American soldiers, and Trump’s response is to lift sanctions on Russian oil and go after President Zelensky. Absolutely disgraceful.

And so he should. This is a fools war. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Trump suspended sanctions on Russian oil for 30 days. Zelenskyy: “It could give Moscow $10 billion for war.” Affects 128 million barrels, risks undermining 4 years of sanctions that were finally working — Washington Post. 1/

Giving no quarter means executing our enemies. The U.K. cannot assist a military intent on committing such crimes.

1/5 Trump desperately needs to learn the concept of reciprocity. He constantly abandons, threatens, and insults Europe, only to turn around and demand our naval support. He launched a massive war without warning us, and now expects us to clean up the mess

"The president is speaking with allies to encourage them to do more to open the strait. Our NATO allies especially need to step up. He's calling on them to do the right thing." No Karoline, the allies you've humiliated and threatened to invade will not be joining you this time!

The nature of Russia's war is now not so much one of military aims, but merely mass murder. In Ukraine's Sumy region, Russians target civilian cars on a motorway.

In Sumy region a russian drone hit the cab of a truck while grain was being loaded The 40yo driver was killed on the spot Horrifying. Sickening. Absolutely disgusting. russian murderers And Trump eases sanctions on russia As if slaughtering civilians is nothing 😡😡😡

This morning, russia struck Kharkiv with several Shahed drones, right in the middle of a busy Monday. As the day goes on, the attacks continue. There is an air raid alert, and drones are in our airspace.

Reform UK have a Russia problem...

Trump on Strait of Hormuz: "Really, I'm demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their territory ... they should help us. You could make the case that maybe we shouldn't be there at all, because we don't need it. We have a lot of oil."
