🇮🇹 🇺🇸 Meloni did not beg Trump for a joint photo - she recorded a special video, where she said she was shocked by his behavior.❗️ Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni responded to Trump: “So, certain things deserve an immediate response. Donald Trump's statements are completely fabricated. I am frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies; after all, it's not the first time it's happened. I can only say it's a pity that he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaders towards whom he instead proves to be much more accommodating. But he must remember one thing: Italy and I never beg.” Earlier, the US President mentioned in a comment to an Italian TV channel that Meloni "begged" him to take a photo with her at the recent G7 summit: "I shouldn't have talked to her. She begged me to take a photo with her. She wanted to take a photo with me so much. I wouldn't have agreed, but I felt sorry for her"...

🇮🇷 Iran’s Supreme Leader, Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei: ‘O passionate and loyal nation of Iran! As you have been informed, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Presidents of Iran and the United States. In the path to reaching this stage, the responsible officials, out of concern and with good intentions, made many efforts, and indeed it was this American President who, out of desperation, used various levers to achieve this matter. I, in principle, had a different opinion. But due to the commitment that the honorable President, as the head of the Supreme National Security Council, gave on behalf of himself and other members to uphold the rights of the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front, and because he explicitly accepted responsibility for it, I issued permission for it. They also explicitly stated that if the American side tries to make excessive demands, they will not accept them. From this moment on, we, meaning you, the proud nation, and this humble servant, will wait for the realization of the stated conditions. However, it is obvious that the face-to-face negotiations that will be held in the future will not mean accepting the enemy's view. We hope that the good prayers of our Master, may God hasten his noble reappearance, will bring various victories and triumphs to the honorable nation of Iran.‘
