Une stratégie et un projet ont correspondu à un état du pays et de ses attentes populaires. Ils ont permis à la France Insoumise d’effectuer une magnifique percée dans les élections municipales. Tous les types de villes sont concernés. Les insoumis peuvent l'emporter à Lille, Roubaix, Limoges, Saint-Denis, Toulouse. Nos listes sont incontournables à Paris, Lyon, Marseille. D’autres villes viendront confirmer cette percée de la Nouvelle France incarnée par nos équipes : jeunes, féminisées, populaires. Il est temps d’agir en responsabilité. Les mises en cause personnelles, les oukases combinés aux tambouilles locales doivent cesser. De son côté, la France Insoumise travaille pour former un front unique et mettre en échec la droite et l’extrême droite. La main tendue doit être saisie. Les coalitions de la gauche traditionnelle doivent se placer à hauteur des enjeux historiques de ce moment politique. Elles doivent se rapprocher de nous pour assurer une victoire digne et forte des principes qui rendent possible une Nouvelle France pour la paix et une vie digne pour tous.

The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, a congressional official told me.

I held a meeting on the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region – the challenges for Ukraine and our partners, as well as our capacity to help protect lives, prevent the war from expanding, and stabilize global markets. The Iranian regime, which is striving to survive at any cost, poses clear threats to all states in the region and to global stability. No country close to Iran can feel secure. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has practically stopped. So far, the Iranian regime has shown no genuine intent for honest diplomacy or fundamental change. Ukraine is consulting with partners in Europe and the United States, as well as with countries neighboring Iran. Yesterday, I spoke with the leaders of the UAE and Qatar. Today, I held discussions with the leaders of Jordan and Bahrain. There will also be talks with Kuwait and other countries in the region. All of them face a serious challenge and speak openly about it: Iranian attack drones are the same “shaheds” that have been striking our cities, villages, and our Ukrainian infrastructure throughout this war. In just a few days, Iran has launched over 800 missiles of various types and more than 1,400 attack drones. It is Iranian drones and missiles that pose the main threat to free navigation, destabilizing global prices for oil, petroleum products, and gas. Ukraine can contribute to protecting lives and stabilizing the situation. Partners are reaching out to us. I have tasked Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, together with intelligence agencies, the Minister of Defense, our military command, and the NSDC Secretary, to present options for assisting the relevant countries and to provide aid in a way that does not weaken our own defense here in Ukraine. Our military possesses the necessary capabilities. Ukrainian experts will operate on-site, and teams are already coordinating these efforts. And we are ready to help protect lives, defend civilians, and support real efforts to stabilize the situation and, in particular, restore safe navigation in the region. We expect the European Union, European countries, and the G7 to take active measures both in dismantling the Iranian regime’s terrorist capabilities and in protecting lives in the region and global stability. We will continue to coordinate with our partners. Glory to Ukraine!

SECRETARY RUBIO: There was absolutely an imminent threat. We knew that if Iran was attacked, even by someone else, they would immediately come after us and we were NOT going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.
