"Can I keep it?"

"Half a billion ticket requests in just over a month is more than demand – it’s a global statement. On behalf of FIFA, I would like to thank and congratulate football fans everywhere for this extraordinary response. Knowing how much this tournament means to people around the world, our only regret is that we cannot welcome every fan inside the stadiums.That is why we are committed to creating multiple ways for fans to be part of the World Cup – through a wide range of fan experiences beyond the stadiums, both in person and online – so that as many people as possible can share in what will be the biggest sporting event ever staged."

"ICE is dedicated to ensuring that everyone that visits the facilities will have a safe and secure event."

"I really don’t care. I think Iran is a very badly defeated country. They’re running on fumes."

"Fifa is focused on ensuring fair access to our game for existing and prospective fans. As a not-for-profit organisation, the revenue Fifa generates from the World Cup is reinvested to fuel the growth of the game - men, women, youth - throughout Fifa's 211 member associations globally"

"Right now, we’re expecting the Iranian team to come. I think it’s a great opportunity for the Iranian diaspora here in the United States of America to be able to celebrate their country."

"The golden days of Italian football are well and truly gone."

"Initial witness accounts cited a fire that spread quickly, generating a lot of smoke and a huge wave of heat. Everything happened very fast."

"If anyone comes to street they are seen as enemies and not as protestors.All our kids are putting their finger on triggers all alleys , streets , city squares belong to Police, special units and The IRGC Basij."

"I can see that the peace deal is within our reach... if we... allow diplomacy the space it needs to get there... I don't think any alternative to diplomacy is going to solve this problem. ...The heart of this deal is very important and ...we have captured that heart. ...[I]f the ultimate objective is to ensure forever, that Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb ...we have cracked that problem ...[W]e are talking about zero stockpiling ...[I]f you cannot stockpile material that is enriched ...there is no way you can ...create a bomb ...and ...equally important ...full and comprehensive verification by the IAEA ...The current stockpiles ...will be down-blended to the lowest level possible ...and converted into fuel that ...will be irreversible. ...I am ...confident ...that even the United States inspectors will have access at some point ...if we have a deal that is respected, and fair, and ...durable ...We have agreed, in general, to discuss economic and security cooperation between Iran and its neighbors, and set up a process of dialogue that will ...start the elements of building confidence, ...a rapport, a process that can ...lead ...to an understanding on all these ...areas of concern ...on the Iranian side, and ...on the GCC side. ...Broad terms, ...the politics, the ...main issues ...can be agreed [upon] tomorrow. The technicalities will take some time to work... out with... the IAEA. ...[T]hat can also be done ...relatively quickly, because a lot of this ...groundwork was done years ago, and it's ...in place. ...The substantial progress... is... far more than any time before. We just need that bit of extra time to close the deal."

"The recent war is between good and evil"

"Like thunder we will strike Haifa"

"Iran’s leaders before the attack had been clear that they were willing to negotiate on the nuclear question. Talks were ongoing... There had appeared to be a good basis for agreement, given... an Iranian government that... was not in a position to enrich uranium... for the foreseeable future. ...Americans ...were deeply unhappy with the results of America’s last big wars of ...in Afghanistan and Iraq. At the beginning of this joint US–Israel campaign against Iran, only about a third of Americans supported the adventure..."

"There is no shelter you can be safe"

"We will fill Americans' coffins there is no end to war unless they fully surrender."

"Now that we have baited America do not make ceasefire and/or peace we must destroy them"

"From us Iranian people only President son Aga Yusuf Pezeshkian and his buddies have internet connection."

"These attacks from Israel and the United States... were unprovoked. There was no immanent threat. Many would interpret this war to be an illegal war."

"I see no indication that ...those institutions are weak or fraying or that you can destroy ...[them] from the air. ...[T]his administration is trying to justify the war the same way Jackson Pollock used to paint. You just throw a bucket of reasons up against the canvas and hope the result looks good. ...Iranian missiles ... [as] a threat to the United States... falls short of the truth by about 4,000 miles ...[I]f we're doing preventative wars now to prevent countries that might one day be a threat, is North Korea... China... Russia in line? I don't think so. ...I can't make head or tails out of the reason this administration has put forward for this war."

"Once again, America is going to war for Israel. Once again, many will die for the Zionist state, including American service members. Once again, we will stumble blindly into a military fiasco. Once again, we will do the bidding of a foreign power whose interests are not our interests, but whose lobbyists have bought up our political class, including Donald Trump. Once again, we will violate the U.N. charter by attacking a country that does not pose an imminent threat."

"If the precedent that is being set is, "Any country with super"

"[I]t is in many ways a final battle to decide what World War II was all about. Will international law crumble as a result of the unwillingness of enough countries to protect the rules of civilized law supporting the principles of national sovereignty, free from foreign interference and coercion from the 1648 to the UN Charter? And with regard to wars that inevitably are to be waged, will they spare s and non-belligerents..."

"Iran negotiators had agreed... not to have an atom bomb... to reduce their refined uranium, to shift the refined uranium outside of the country, and to submit to an unprecedented degree of oversight... But none of this was about an atom bomb... The... reason that America has attacked Iran... was to control Near Eastern oil... and General Petraeus, years ago, had outlined this whole plan... "...all of your profits and rents from the oil will be lent back to the United States, ...priced in dollars and invested in U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. bonds and U.S. stocks, so that the money, the vast dollar inflows from your oil exports, will all be part of the U.S. economy." I sat in on meetings in the in 1974 when this was discussed..."

"The American philosophy is, number one, you bomb civilians, you break all the rules of international law which are against that. You bomb civilians to demoralize them. And if you concentrate, as Trump did, along with Israel, a few weeks ago, you , you bomb the hospitals. That’s American policy in foreign countries. It’s most visible in the case of Israeli policy, in Gaza, and now the West Bank as well. And it is the same policy that the United States has followed in Iran."

"Whenever a state chooses to go to war... you have to ask—where is the intelligence on the threat? ...[T]he Trump administration ...in hurry mode ...chose to set diplomacy aside, despite the fact that the [mediating] Omani foreign minister ...was convinced that remarkable progress had been made on the issue of Iranian nuclear weapons ...[T]wo other arguments for the war: that the US faced an imminent threat from Iran, and that Iran’s capability threatened the United States. Scratch this last claim—it’s simply not true ...Why would a much-weakened Islamic Republic pose an "imminent threat" ..? Marco Rubio has come forward with an absurd argument ...Does anyone truly believe that Israel would go it alone ...without US backing, that the operation was not jointly planned? ...This is all desperate storytelling, not intelligence."

"Ironically, the greatest beneficiaries of the United States’ grave violations of international law are the very actors whom, under normal circumstances, Washington would be seeking to restrain: Moscow will be emboldened to continue its barbaric assault on Ukraine, while China will feel empowered to move on Taiwan."

"It's going to be... tempting for countries to think that in a world where there are no rules.., no rules of war, where that post-war liberal order, imperfect as it was, is now completely being disregarded.., that makes the world more dangerous for all of us. ...[T]here was an order of some kind ...a view that a degree of international consensus was necessary ...before ...intervening in foreign countries. There were rules of war... [A]ll of us need to be... very thoughtful about supporting the creation of a world where anything goes, and might makes right. ...America is still the preeminent power, the , the global hegemon. ...I hope this is a moment for Americans to reflect on the facts that the rules-based international order, which did act as a constraint on American power, also provided America with some meaningful protection."

"[I]f it's... possible that there are about to be acts of terrorism by Iran inside the United States, how can Congress continue to blockade funds for the Department of Homeland Security until it gets reforms... including an end to the lying..? You're going to see a real press by the Trump administration to say, "Release the funds and let the Department... resume... operations.., including falsely calling people terrorists if they operate a camera near an immigration agent." You're going to see attacks on the freedom of the press. This administration... regards it as illegal, criminal, for reporters simply to ask questions of Pentagon employees... Only the designated leaders... get to speak... and if they're... saying things that look like they might not be true, you can't second guess or question them. We have had many instances... of false indications of emergency powers. The whole tariff nonsense... rested on false claims of the president... about economic emergency. ...[N]ow there's a real war.., a real risk of terrorist activity... That's a much more plausible emergency.., and... what court will say, "We don't think you're telling the truth about this either"? ...So there will be new assertions of emergency power... [P]eople who have the president's ear have been urging him to use emergency powers against the elections of 2026. The possibility of that... are much higher today... than... a week ago. ...We're moving into extraordinary danger to democratic institutions. The war in Iran... is an urgent domestic policy question... a massive grant of power to a president and administration that have proven... that they will abuse any powers that they are entrusted with."

""Senate votes down resolution to stop Trump from continuing war with Iran" (Mar 4, 2026)"

"Nobody gets to hide and give the president an easy pass or an end-run around the Constitution. Everybody's got to declare whether they're for this war or against it."

"War is ugly, it always has been ugly, but we're taking out a regime that has been trying to attack us for quite some time."

"I learned when I was fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, pound their chest, talk about the costs of war and act tough, they're not talking about them doing it, they're not talking about their kids. They're talking about working class kids like us."

"Why are we going into Iran? ...[I]t is the president's vainglory. He thinks he's on a roll, that... this is easy to do; that you can knock off dictatorships like Venezuela, and then have a parade; that this solves a lot of his problems. It gets people not talking about the Epstein files. ...[A] huge chunk of Donald Trump's foreign policy is rooted in trying to get people to stop talking about the Epstein files. ...[H]e is that narrow and crass. ...Now he's going to say he's a war president. That means you can't criticize me... I can stomp on the press... I can declare a national emergency. ...As the British Parliament said... in [~]1944... "This is not a propitious time for an election." ...[[wikt:mischief#Noun|[M]ischief]] comes with a war because... presidential war powers... become almost unchallengeable."

"The president was not going to be just another president on a very long list who sat back and stood by and passed the buck of this direct threat to the next administration. The president had a feeling, again, based on fact, that Iran was going to strike the United States, was going to strike our assets in the region, and he made a determination to launch Operation Epic Fury based on all of those reasons."

"[T]o take on the extraordinary risks... without having made the case with the American people.., citing immanent threats that aparently don't exist... that's problematic, and the chances of unintended consequences... are... very serious... [W]e're... using.., in many cases very expensive weapons to take down $20,000 drones. That's not a good equation... over time. ...I'm worried about ...second and third order consequences ...we so deplete our arsenal, and it takes a long time to rebuild ...puts us in a disadvantageous position when it comes to ...a China or ...Russia. ...[M]uch as ...everyone should want to see a change... it may simply ...reinforce the IRGC ...[I]t's very hard to produce regime change from outside. You can't bomb your way to it. ...The red flag ...is that this could be Syria redux or ...Libya redux ...the country fracturing, imploding or even exploding with refugees and migration.., extremist groups taking hold... It's incredibly ...dangerous. ...[I]t's never too late for diplomacy. ... [W]hen Russia is ...reaching a weak point because of its dependence on oil to fuel its war economy ...they get a lifeline, ...the price of oil is going up. The Europeans, in having moved away from Russian gas, are now more dependent on the Middle East. ...If the gets tied up ...that's ...a lot of pressure ...So mapping out, gaming out, planning out and ...making sure you have something in place to deal with ...second and third order effects is ...important, and it's not ...clear ...that was done ...There's been a shifting rationale ...[or] explanation for why this, why now? ...That's why it's so important to have ...laid this out before the American people, and our partners and allies. We might have had less friction with them if there was a compelling case ...and had them on the take-off, not mid-flight or on the landing."

"Majority of Experts Assembly has come to pick next leader who is Seid."

"Unprovoked attacks by the US and Israel... violate the fundamental prohibition on the use of force, sovereign equality, , and the duty to peacefully settle disputes... They also violate the ... We cannot pick and choose when international law applies. Unlawful military intervention is not a solution... These attacks do not strike military abstractions – they strike people... s are bearing the brunt of this war... In a country that has already lost thousands to violent repression... these attacks deepen... profound human tragedy... The targeting of civilians, educational facilities, and medical institutions constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law and human rights law... Any path forward must be grounded in the rule of law, the will of the Iranian people, and full accountability for the violation of international law, by all parties..."

"The Crown Prince and other Gulf leaders have been urging America not to undertake military action against Iran, because all of us believe... action will not remain confined to Iran; that Iran will retaliate against American in the area, which is present in all of the Gulf states, and as far away as Turkey... They've been warning the Americans not to undertake military action and suffer the consequences. ...I don't think the system in Iran will collapse any time soon. ...Iranian leadership has been preparing for an eventuality like this, because of what they have continued to hear from Mr. Netanyahu in the past 40 years. He has been calling for the destruction of Iran, and so the Iranians... have been preparing themselves for such an eventuality. ...The only way the system will go... is through the Iranian people."

"Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever been hit before.., THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!"

"I think the war is very complete, pretty much. [Iran has] no navy, no communications, they've got no air force. Their missiles are down to a scatter. Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones."

"US officials are posting fake news to manipulate narkets. It won't protect them from inflationary tsunami they've imposed on Americans Markets are facing biggest shortfall in HISTORY bigger than Arab Oil Embargo, Kuwait"

"If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again - Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them - But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

"Most definitely we are not seeking ceasefire we will break zionist life cycle of war-negotiations-ceasefire and then war again forever"

"Take Bahrain back! Annex it"

"I have seen his body after martyred, I heard he clenched his fist.You people have led the country. The will of the masses is to continue the effective and regrettable defense. Certainly, the leverage of blocking the Strait of Hormuz should still be used. Neighboring countries must make their position clear to the aggressors against our country... In any case, we will demand compensation from the enemy; if they refuse, we will seize as much of their property as we determine; if that is not possible, we will destroy as much of their property as we can."

"Aggression against soil of Iranian islands will shatter all restraint. We will abandon all restraint and make the Persian Gulf run with the blood of invaders."

"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. I won’t ever let that happen!"

"As long as America and Zionist exist humankind will not see quiet. To establish peace they must be destroyed"

"If Americans do heliborne operation on taking over Khark Island we will attack their bases and take prisoners"

"If the World Cup games are in Mexico maybe we will go"

"Countries in region are supposed to pay reparations for killing Khamenei."

"When I feel it. When I feel it in my bones."

"It's a little unfair. You win a war, but they have no right to be doing what they're doing."

"Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"

"Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar - In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before. I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so."

"Iranian missiles do not differentiate between Muslim and Christian and Jew and whichever religion, they're out there to kill anybody because they feel everybody who doesn't accept their belief is an infidel."

"We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran: (1) Completely degrading Iranian Missile Capability, Launchers, and everything else pertaining to them. (2) Destroying Iran’s Defense Industrial Base. (3) Eliminating their Navy and Air Force, including Anti Aircraft Weaponry. (4) Never allowing Iran to get even close to Nuclear Capability, and always being in a position where the U.S.A. can quickly and powerfully react to such a situation, should it take place. (5) Protecting, at the highest level, our Middle Eastern Allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others. The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!"

"If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!"

"No countries that are Nato allies that have been bullied by Trump are going to be willing…to go on this suicide mission for someone who is an asshole to them."

"Maybe me. Me and the ayatollah, whoever the ayatollah is, whoever the next ayatollah is. There’s automatically a regime change, but we’re dealing with some people that I find to be very reasonable, very solid. The people within know who they are. They’re very respected, and maybe one of them will be exactly what we’re looking for."

"No negotiations have been held with the US, and fake news is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped."

"Because they’re going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present. And the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.… That meant one thing to me—we’re dealing with the right people."

"Has the level of your inner ⁠struggle reached the stage ⁠of you negotiating with yourself?"

"The enemy signals negotiation in public, while in secret it plots a ground attack. Our firing continues. Our missiles are in place. Our determination and faith have increased. [Iranian forces] are waiting for the arrival of American troops on the ground to set them on fire and punish their regional partners for ever."

"This is our God: Jesus, king of peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them."

"(Isaiah 1:15) ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood.’"

"We're finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer, to do the job. But we want to knock out every single thing they have. Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that."
