Trump on Iran:

War crime is allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Turkish President Erdogan on Iran War:

We are making a sincere effort to ensure that the weapons fall silent and that space is opened for negotiations.

If there is even the smallest chance, we are determined to seize it.

Our wish is for this unlawful, meaningless, and illegitimate war—one that is extremely costly for all humanity—to come to an end as soon as possible.

Turkish President Erdogan on Netanyahu:

I would also like to remind everyone, in the words of our ancestors: “Times change, and power shifts.”

Those who undermine peace today merely to extend their political lifespans should not forget that tomorrow they themselves will need peace, justice, and law.

History is full of countless examples of this.

Most notably, Hitler became a victim of ambitions he could not control, bringing great suffering upon himself, his people, and the world.

Those who follow in Hitler’s footsteps today are not only acting against humanity, but are also placing themselves in that same Hitler role against their own citizens.

Iran is getting past Israel’s missile defenses by having its ballistic missiles break apart high in the sky, scattering many smaller bombs before interception is possible.

Instead of stopping one target, defenses suddenly face dozens, which is far harder and more expensive to deal with—especially for systems like David's Sling.

The tactic not only increases the chance of damage on the ground, but also drains limited interceptor supplies.

8 P.M. is not that good. Could you change it to between 1 and 2 P.M., or if possible, 1 and 2 A.M.?

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Trump:

This Easter has been the best, militarily.

Trump:

The entire country could be taken out in one night.

Tomorrow? Even more than today.
