Iran’s Top Politicians Urge an End to the War
DUBAI—Iran’s top politicians said the country needs to focus on ending the war and shoring up its crippled economy, pushing back publicly against hardliners who are taking a more defiant approach in the six-month-old conflict.

“Not only did it not happen, but it became a power that amazed the world with its resistance, solidarity and cohesion.”
Pezeshkian said Iran’s enemies hope to “create division and rift in society through problems”.
“We will try with all our might to avoid division, rift, conflicts and egos,” he concluded.

پزشکیان: به جای بیان دردها، برای درمان مشکلات باید چاره کرد/ لازمه حفظ قدرت، وحدت است
پزشکیان با اشاره به آیات قرآن کریم درباره ضرورت حکومت بر مبنای حق، خاطرنشان کرد: خداوند در قرآن کریم خطاب به حضرت داوود میفرماید که ما تو را مبعوث کردیم تا بر اساس حق میان مردم، نه گروه و دستهای خاص، حکومت کنی و تابع هوای نفس نشوی؛ کسانی که تابع هوای نفس میشوند، گرفتار عذاب علیم خواهند شد.
(…)
رئیسجمهور تصریح کرد: البته تمامی این موضوعات به معنای این نیست که اگر آنها بخواهند تعرضی کنند، ما تسلیم شویم. این دو مسئله جدا از هم است. ما به هیچ عنوان در برابر قلدری سر خم نخواهیم کرد و هیچ تردیدی در آن وجود ندارد. تا آخرین نفس مقابل آنها خواهیم ایستاد و پاسخ کوبنده به آنها خواهیم داد.
پزشکیان با بیان اینکه جنگ باید در یک مقطع به پایان برسد، گفت: بهتر است امروز که در قدرت و عزت هستیم و تمام دنیا به پیروزی ما اذعان دارند و تأکید میکنند که آمریکا برخلاف تمام مقررات، به مدارس، بیمارستانها و زیرساختهای ما حمله کرده و در دنیا منفور است، جنگ را پایان دهیم.

„They cannot find even a single clause in this agreement that indicates capitulation. All the commitments concern the other side,“ he said.

‘The Fight Has Just Begun’: Angie Nixon Delivers Shocking Upset Win in Florida
In a surprise upset described variously as “stunning” and “a shocker” in headlines, State Rep. Angie Nixon won the Democratic primary for the open US Senate seat in Florida on Tuesday, defeating Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, the former national security official who many presumed would sail to victory with the support of the party establishment and a massive cash advantage.
Nixon, a former union organizer and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, will now face Sen. Ashley Moody, whom Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to the seat after former Sen. Marco Rubio became Secretary of State, in the general election.
Angie For Florida
What Led To This Moment
Angie Nixon is a Florida State Representative, union organizer, and mother born and raised in Jacksonville who has spent her career fighting for hardworking Floridians. In the State House, she expanded childcare, took on corporate price-gouging, and led the fight against DeSantis’s unfair voting maps. Her leadership is rooted in lived experience—watching her mom work two jobs to get by, attending public schools, and losing her cousin to gun violence. Angie is running to lower costs, raise wages, and build a people-powered government that puts families first—not greedy billionaires.

US to use military, economic, diplomatic tools to end Iran war: Vance
Asked about the setbacks in negotiations with Iran, Vance cited two factors: “Number one, the Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people. Number two, they have a fractured system.”
“There are people within their system that want the war to be over and there are also people in their system that are crazy radicals who want the war to continue,” he said.
“Our job is to navigate through that and get the best outcome for the American people and for the President of the United States as well.”

Ending the Costly, Unnecessary Iran War Is the Right Thing. Period.
The task now is not to reward Trump politically, nor to excuse the recklessness that produced this war. It is to prevent the war from returning. Democrats can condemn the decision to start it without sabotaging the agreement that ends it. They can hold Trump accountable without helping Netanyahu drag the United States back into conflict. The choice before them is not between opposing Trump and supporting peace. It is between learning from America’s endless wars and repeating them.
