JD Vance:

Our attitude is we don’t want Ukraine to collapse. We obviously want Ukraine to remain a sovereign country.

But Russia can’t expect to be given territory they haven’t even conquered yet. And that’s one of the things they put down in that initial peace plan.

We can only lead these guys to the well, we can’t force them to drink.

US ambassador to Israel on the agreement with the Houthis:

We do not need permission from the Israelis.

If an American citizen is injured, we will strike the Houthis otherwise, we have nothing to do with it.

Indian media now deny their own reports of Indian attack on Pakistan’s Karachi.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

There’s 700,000 Americans living in Israel, if the Houthis want to continue doing things to Israel and they hurt an American, then it becomes our business.

Trump:

Talks with Russia/Ukraine continue. The U.S. calls for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.

If not respected, further sanctions will follow.

Trump's trade advisor Peter Navarro:

Trust in Trump, my brother. Let's see what happens.

Trump Poised to Announce Gaza Ceasefire Deal

Trump is expected to announce a comprehensive Gaza ceasefire plan by the weekend.

U.S official to Israeli Hayom:

The proposed deal aims to end the conflict without fully meeting Hamas’s demands, offering a partially cooperative approach from Israel.

One option being discussed includes Hamas’s involvement in Gaza’s future civil administration.

Another option under consideration is granting Hamas leaders immunity from assassination to secure their agreement.

Netanyahu must decide whether to take this risk, potentially triggering a coalition crisis.

A video from Kareli, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, shows a group of Hindu men standing on a flag with the Islamic Kalma (they used Saudi Arabian flag) written on it, pasted on the road along with Pakistani flags.

U.S. VP Vance on India-Pakistan:

The conflict between India and Pakistan is “fundamentally not America’s business”.

Here's an interesting fact: Pakistan’s U.S.-supplied F-16 fighter jets are subject to strict End-User Agreements and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) conditions, which limit their use to counterterrorism and defensive operations.

These agreements explicitly prohibit offensive missions against India, including airstrikes and cross-border attacks, without prior U.S. approval.

The U.S. requires Pakistan to seek authorization before deploying F-16s outside its territory or engaging in joint operations with third countries, effectively preventing their use in conventional warfare against India.

U.S. VP Vance on India-Pakistan:

We cannot command India or Pakistan to lay down their arms, but we encourage them to de-escalate.

We do not expect the situation between India and Pakistan to escalate into a broader regional war or nuclear conflict.

Pakistani Information Minister:

We have shot down 25 Indian drones in our own territory. And I think some of these drones may have dropped on their own land.

Government of Pakistan:

Pakistan Shatters the Rafale’s Streak of Invincibility with Unmatched Precision and Readiness, Becoming the First Ever Force to Shoot Down Rafale Jet Since Its Combat Debut in 2001.

A Historic Blow to the Indian Air Force.

Indian Army:

"Pakistan Armed Forces launched multiple attacks using drones and other munitions along entire Western Border on the intervening night of 08 and 09 May 2025. Pak troops also resorted to numerous cease fire violations (CFVs) along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

The drone attacks were effectively repulsed and befitting reply was given to the CFVs."

Indian media claims that the Indian forces downed 50 Pakistani drones overnight.
