Turkish President Erdogan on Iran:

On behalf of my country and my nation, I extend my condolences to the people of Iran and pray for God’s mercy upon our Iranian brothers who lost their lives in the attacks, especially the late Khamenei.

Trump on Iran:

Today, the United States Military continues to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime.

Trump on Iran:

The regime’s conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically. This posed a very clear and colossal threat to America and to our forces stationed overseas.

The regime already had missiles capable of reaching Europe and our bases, and it soon would have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.

The purpose of this fast-growing missile program was to shield their nuclear weapons development and make it extraordinarily difficult for anyone to stop them from producing these highly forbidden nuclear weapons.

Trump on Iran:

We are destroying Iran’s missile capabilities, and you see that happening on an hourly basis, along with their capacity to produce brand-new and pretty good ones.

Second, we’re annihilating their Navy. We’ve already knocked out 10 ships. They’re at the bottom of the sea.

Trump on Iran:

From the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but we have the capability to go far longer than that. We’ll do it.

Somebody said today — they said, “Oh well, the President wants to do it really quickly. After that, he’ll get bored.” I don’t get bored. There’s nothing boring about this.

Trump on Iran:

We projected four weeks to complete it. The military leadership — and as you know — that was done in about an hour, so we’re ahead of schedule there by a lot.

Trump on Iran:

Following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program, we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at a different location because they were not able to use the ones we so powerfully blew up.

But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Attacks on hospitals strike at life itself. Attacks on schools target a nation's future. Targeting patients and children blatantly violates humanitarian principles.

The world must condemn it. I stand with my grieving nation. Iran will not remain silent or yield to these crimes.

Turkish President Erdogan on Iran:

If the necessary intervention is not made, the conflict process will have serious consequences for regional and global security.

Nobody can bear the economic and geopolitical uncertainties that such a process would create.

Therefore, the fire must be extinguished before it grows any further.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Iran is our neighbor. The Iranian people, with whom we have been in peace and tranquility since 1639, are our brothers, just like other peoples in the region.

We have lived side-by-side in peace for centuries. Inshallah, we will live side-by-side in peace and tranquility with our Iranian brothers for many more centuries.

Our priority is to ensure a ceasefire and open the door for dialogue.

Trump says the “big wave” against Iran hasn’t started yet. He warns U.S. strikes could escalate as Iran’s new leadership remains unclear.
