"Iran will respond to the enemy's attacks with all its might. Iran's strikes against American targets in the countries of the region are legal and are not directed against the sovereignty of those countries in any way. As part of our self-defense, we have to attack the sources of the enemy's aggression, at the same time we have friendly relations with all the countries of the region. The military aggression of the US and the Zionist regime during the negotiations showed once again that they do not follow any law but the law of the jungle.

The next prime minister, Samvel Karapetyan, is fully aware of the historical responsibility that we bear to our nation. Marianna Ghahramanyan, spokesperson of the "Strong Armenia" party, wrote. "In response to the many questions of journalists regarding the statement of the first President of the Republic of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan, we would like to note that our next Prime Minister Samvel Karapetyan is fully aware of the historical responsibility that we bear before our nation. There will soon be a new, strong leadership in Armenia."

Hayrenik party will not participate in the 2026 parliamentary elections. This was stated in the statement issued by the "Homeland" party. "At the session of February 26, the executive body of the Hayrenik party discussed the internal political situation of Armenia, the existing internal and external challenges, as well as the developments characteristic of the pre-election phase. Recording: 1) The change of power is a top priority, which stems from the strategic goals of the state, and its justifications and reasons have been presented for years. 2) Acute internal political tension continues to be maintained. 3) The political field remains polarized, without a real unifying state ideology and a clear value axis. 4) Mechanisms of legal and moral responsibility towards state institutions do not provide effective balances and control in practice. 5) Political processes continue to be built with non-institutional logic, which inhibits the possibility of sustainable state development. 6) The ideological foundations, programmatic priorities and strategic visions of Armenia's future differ from the approaches of other forces operating in the political field, as a result of which the formation of the alliance becomes unrealistic. 7) The increase in the number of forces participating in the elections from the opposition field can cause the fragmentation of voters' votes and inefficiency in the distribution of political resources, which in the above conditions can negatively affect the results of the expected electoral processes. Summarizing what has been recorded, on the one hand, with the aim of contributing to the consolidation of opposition voices, and on the other hand, not to go along the path of forming artificial alliances and/or associations without an ideological basis, the executive body of the Party decided: 1. not to participate in the parliamentary elections expected in 2026, 2. urge the party members, sympathizers and supporters to vote for any of the real opposition forces in the upcoming parliamentary elections, according to their own preference, 3. Consistently continue the development process of the "Homeland" party in all directions of party building. At the same time, we inform you that we will address the issues related to this decision, if necessary, after the summary of the election results, based on the responsibility that before the elections, a condition or an opportunity is not created in any way that could harm the real opposition forces," the statement said.

"We have clearly outlined our expectations regarding the lifting of sanctions. Good progress has been made on the nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions, with agreement reached on some issues and disagreements on others. "Consultations should be held in the capitals of the participating countries, after which the fourth round of negotiations will take place next week," he said.

Armenians should not have water problems, Gohar Meloyan, a member of the "Strong Armenia" party, wrote about this. "It is well known that Armenia is a self-sufficient country with drinking and irrigation water. In that case, why is the water supply so severely restricted? Yesterday, in the first half of the day, the announcement of "Veolia water" company about the drastic limitation of the water supply schedule for the RA population from May to September was widely spread in the mass media, as a result of which a 17-hour water supply schedule would be set for tens of thousands of customers. This was immediately followed by the righteous indignation of the Armenian society. The answer is, in fact, obvious: there is a shameful level of management of water resources. Water loss reaches 65%. For comparison, let's note that at the time of seizing the Armenian Electric Networks company from its legal owners, the loss was only 6%, due to which 7 billion drams were accumulated, at the expense of which we proposed to lower the price of electricity for people. Therefore, it is obvious that "Veolia water" company and related bodies, including the Public Services Regulatory Commission and the RA government, have FAILED in the field of water resources management. The authorities announced in the evening that "as a result of the government's intervention, there will be no change in the water supply." Two options are possible here: - or "Veolia water" company, having an obvious opportunity not to restrict water supply, nevertheless restricts what can be assessed as "sabotage" against the Republic of Armenia, - or the RA government "urged" the private company to withdraw from the restrictions, which will only worsen the water supply problem in the medium and long term, if obvious systemic reforms are not implemented in the field of water resources management. Therefore, the problem still exists and is of national security level," he wrote.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that he discussed with US President Donald Trump the meeting of the delegations of Washington and Kiev, which is scheduled for Thursday in Geneva, as well as the preparations for the tripartite talks to be held in early March. We reported earlier that Zelensky and Trump had a telephone conversation.

He made this statement at the Yalta European Strategy (YES) forum organized by the Pinchuk Foundation. Wittkoff joined the event through a link. According to the envoy of the US president, in addition to the Iranian issue, which Washington is trying to solve diplomatically, he plans to meet with the head of the Ukrainian delegation in Geneva, Rustem Umerov. He said that Umerov will be able to visit the USA, but the parties must first hold negotiations in Geneva. "As I said, we don't just meet in Geneva. In fact, I think that Rustem may come to Florida soon to meet with us. And there will be a tripartite meeting. I'm talking about a tripartite meeting between the Ukrainian delegation, the Russian delegation, myself, Jared and our teams, probably in the next 10 days. The purpose of the meeting with Umerov is to continue the discussion and explore options for reaching a peace agreement," he said.

Hungary will block the 20th package of EU sanctions against Russia tomorrow, Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó announced.
