Footage reportedly from Bahrain appears to show a U.S. HIMARS system launching tactical missiles toward Iran, likely the newer PrSM missiles (two launches from one vehicle).

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

President Pezeshkian's openness to de-escalation within our region—provided that our neighbors’ airspace, territory, and waters are not used to attack the Iranian People—was almost immediately killed by President Trump's misinterpretation of our capabilities, determination and intent.

If Mr. Trump seeks escalation, it is precisely what our Powerful Armed Forces have long been prepared for, and what he will get. Responsibility for any intensification of Iran's exercise of self-defense will lie squarely with the U.S. Administration.

Mr. Trump's week-long misadventure has already cost the U.S. military $100 Billion, in addition to the lives of young soldiers. When markets reopen, that cost will balloon and directly be transferred to ordinary Americans at pumping stations.

Mr. Trump's own National Intelligence Council, representing input from the 18 intelligence agencies of the U.S., determined that war on Iran is destined to fail.

I also warned Mr. Trump's envoys that war will not improve their bargaining position. Were these warnings conveyed?

The American People voted to end involvement in costly quagmires in the Middle East. Instead, they have ended up with an Administration that Netanyahu, after decades of failed attempts, finally managed to dupe into fighting Israel's wars.

This is a war of choice pursued by a small cabal of 'Israel Firsters', and 'Israel First' always means 'America Last'.

Marco Rubio:

Trump will receive the remains of the six Americans who lost their lives in the operation against Iranian terrorism.

"Today Iran will be hit very hard!"

U.S. President Trump warned Iran would be “hit very hard” after regional UAV attacks, despite Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologizing for strikes on neighboring countries and pledging to limit future attacks unless provoked.

Kristi Noem:

I want to thank Trump for giving me the honor and the opportunity to serve as a special envoy to the Western Hemisphere.

Iran Analyst Dr. Trita Parsi:

Data shows air wars tend to cause a rallying around the flag. We are not hearing of anti government protests.

Most people are focused on surviving. They are turning against the US for started the war, concerned about the US invading Iran through Kurdish areas.

It's because Trump’s plan A crashed that we're talking about ground troops and supporting separatists in Iraqi Kurdish areas.

FULL INTERVIEW

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Iran:

The war in our region must end as soon as possible.

For months, we have made great efforts to establish a negotiating table.

Today as well, we say that diplomacy is the solution to problems, and we continue to work in that direction.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Israel has adopted a strategy of creating instability across the entire region, fueling conflicts and civil wars.

We, on the other hand, together with friendly and brotherly countries, have adopted a policy that stands for peace in the face of Israel’s approach.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

We told our Iranian friends: “If this was a missile that went off course, that is another matter. But if more is to follow, our advice to you is: by all means, no one in Iran should embark on such an adventure.”

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Iran:

I would like to once again emphasize that we condemn attacks targeting third countries.

The attacks against Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain put innocent civilians’ lives at risk and increase the possibility of the war spreading.

IDF spokesperson:

The campaign may continue for a long time, but it is necessary.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Iran:

It is not a correct strategy to attack the civilian infrastructure of countries that do not allow their airspace to be used by other nations or permit the use of foreign military bases on their territory.

Doing so would also, to some extent, play into the hands of the Israeli expansionism currently unfolding in this region.

NEW: Explosions heard in central Erbil.

BREAKING: Reuters, citing security sources, reports that Katyusha rockets have targeted the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Iran:

For many years, Israel has adopted a strategy of using Kurdish groups in the region as proxies.

In the current ongoing developments in Iran as well, they are openly declaring in certain circles their strategy of using Kurdish groups in this way.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Iran:

We are against all scenarios that aim to trigger a civil war in Iran.

This is the most dangerous scenario, and we warn both the West and the East—everyone—against it.

Such a scenario would not only cause the innocent civilian population in Iran to suffer more, but could also lead to the displacement of millions of people and force them to flee as refugees to neighboring countries and beyond.

The Dubai Government Media Office announced that interception debris that fell on a vehicle in Dubai caused the death of a foreign resident with Asian citizenship.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

Greetings to the Turkish Twitter community.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog on pardoning Netanyahu:

I will consider everything seriously, but I'm obliged under the process and under Israeli law to await opinions that must be given to me by the relevant authorities.

That is why, of course, everything is on the table. But it has to be done according to Israeli law.
