🚨 TRUMP SPARKS DIPLOMATIC CRISIS WITH ITALY: Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled his planned June 21–22 trip to Washington after President Trump insulted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, claiming she “begged” for a photo with him at the G7 and that he “felt sorry for her.”
Meloni released a video firing back at Trump’s comments, calling them “completely fabricated.”
“I am frankly appalled,” she said. “I don’t know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies.”
She added that Trump appears to show more accommodation toward “the enemies of the West” than America’s allies and concluded by saying: “Italy and I never beg.”

🚨President Trump just posted that America is locked in for PEACE in the Middle East!
Oil prices crashing, stocks soaring, and a full ceasefire coming on all fronts.
Negotiations are working!🔥
Mojtaba Khamenei letter to the Iranians:
“The 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. On the path to reaching this stage, the officials, out of sincerity and goodwill, made many efforts, and of course, it was the U.S. President who, out of desperation, used various leverage for this matter.
I basically had a different opinion, but due to the commitment that the honorable President, as the head of the Supreme National Security Council, gave me on behalf of himself and other members in safeguarding the rights of the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front, and explicitly accepted responsibility for it, I granted permission.
He has also stated that if the American side wants to be excessive, they will not accept it.
From this moment, we, meaning you proud nation and this humble servant, will await the fulfillment of the stated conditions.
However, it is obvious that future face to face negotiations will not mean acceptance of the enemy’s opinion.
We hope that the prayers of our master, may God hasten his noble reappearance, bring all kinds of victories and triumphs to the honorable nation of Iran.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei”

JCPOA came from a bunch of begging and talking—this agreement came after months of bombing and a blockade that was IMPENETRABLE.”
