Tehran's firm stance is based on the principle that restoring security to the Strait of Hormuz can only be achieved through concrete steps by the United States, such as completely ceasing interference in Iranian commercial shipping, lifting all unilateral and recent sanctions, and ending military interventions. The Islamic Republic of Iran, rejecting the excessive demands of imperialism, considers full U.S. compliance with its obligations and the legitimate rights of the Iranian people as the primary condition for any understanding.'</news:title>

The American proposals align, more or less, with previous positions regarding nuclear issues. We explicitly stated that our focus is on the Strait of Hormuz—specifically ensuring and restoring security—which requires certain steps to be taken by the United States. This entails halting disruptions to Iran's commercial shipping and lifting sanctions—matters explicitly outlined in the agreement of June 18—as well as removing additional measures and subsequently imposed sanctions. The concerns raised by the U.S. were addressed during that same meeting with the Qatari side. Regarding certain details, we are conveying supplementary points to the other party'</news:title>

            <news:title>Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: 'As a party to the NPT since 1970—and a party that has fully adhered to its obligations—Iran has faced the worst forms of military aggression; its scientists have been assassinated, and its nuclear facilities have come under attack. This is a serious question. If a country is to be part of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, it must be able to reap its benefits and exercise its rights, rather than—conversely—being constantly subjected to pressure, threats, and military attacks. This is a serious question. Naturally, the Foreign Ministry abides by the decisions of the country's competent authorities; however, for the time being, we remain a party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and as long as we hold this membership, we are, of course, mindful of our obligations' - reports</news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: 'This morning, the Russians once again struck the Pivnichnyi Bridge in Kyiv with a drone. They used drones to attack a standard medical supply warehouse in Sumy. Tragically, one person was killed; my condolences go out to their family and loved ones. In Dnipro, a communications facility was hit. Six people were wounded as a result of these strikes.Overnight, the Russians launched 135 attack drones at Ukraine, more than 50 of which were jet-powered. Kyiv, the Dnipro, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Sumy regions, as well as Zaporizhzhia, came under attack. And among the primary targets of these terrorists—as always—were ordinary residential buildings and critical infrastructure: everything that makes up normal, everyday life. Power outages have occurred in some communities.'</news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: 'Today, Merz and I had a very productive meeting. There is a new support package for Ukraine – a comprehensive package worth more than €1.3 billion. It includes weapons that will help us now, as well as support for our energy sector ahead of winter – an important energy package. Of course, we discussed the need for air defense, which is critical at this time. As of today, we have 15 agreements and documents, and most of them concern security cooperation, production, relevant procurement, our orders for German industry, and joint projects in Ukraine. The total value of our agreements today is more than €8.5 billion. A special agreement was signed that creates more opportunities for our joint efforts to counter drones. Thank you, Germany. Thank you, Friedrich. Thank you to all of Europe for standing with Ukraine and helping us protect life.'</news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: 'We spoke with media representatives alongside Friedrich Merz about the details of today’s meeting. The German Chancellor is here in Kyiv today—amid a challenging security situation where Russian drone strikes occur virtually every hour—sending a powerful signal of support for Ukraine and demonstrating the courage of both Germany and Europe as a whole.Yet, it is not just Germany helping Ukraine; we are helping each other. Ukraine and Germany are already jointly producing drones. Ukraine will purchase more weapons and equipment from Germany. Collaborative work on establishing UAV units in Germany has already begun, and we stand ready to assist with training and expertise—a topic we also discussed today. We are also prepared to work on scaling up our energy infrastructure protection technologies; we discussed this as well. Friedrich, thank you for your support!'</news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: 'As for interceptor drones, the “Bars” have shown positive results – they have the highest success rate. The others are catching up as well. These are long-range drones that are almost missiles. And right now, they are showing a shoot-down rate of around 30%. But everything is improving. We are grateful to Germany. We will receive 2,000 “Bars,” which we are producing jointly. The “Turrets” program. We have only just begun developing it properly. There will be dozens of these “turrets” at different facilities. We will defend them however we can. There is also a small-missile program. There are several types. We expect to see results in the second half of this month. If we get the results, we will be able to immediately move to a proper production volume of the corresponding product.'</news:title>

            <news:title>Zelenskyy: 'The Russians are escalating. I am not surprised by Russia’s hatred of Ukraine, but I am surprised by this approach. They struck our warehouses – Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta, and others. We gave them a fitting response with Wildberries. Now they are striking bridges. Do they really think we won’t respond? They are striking data centers. All of this affects people. This is certainly not some kind of military infrastructure. How can they strike data centers, mobile communications? How does Putin not think about the fact that mobile communications are used not only in Kyiv, in Ukraine? They are used in Moscow too. I am really surprised by this savage desire to escalate every single day. In other words, he is counting on constant escalation. He wants this very much. This is an answer to everyone – to those who believe that all you have to do is simply ask Putin and he will end the war for real. It won't happen simply.'</news:title>
