💬 🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan:

What is the difference between the tears shed in Isfahan, Tabriz, and Tehran, and those shed in Erbil, Amman, Baghdad, Beirut, Sana'a, Doha, Riyadh, and our other sister cities in the region?

In the eyes of the network of massacre, what difference does it make whether our names are Ali, Omar, Aisha or Hasan?

💬 🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan:

In the eyes of aggressors who recognize no principles or values, does it make any difference whether we are Shia or Sunni, or whether we are Turkish, Kurdish, Arab, or Persian?

💬 🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan:

After the dust cloud we are in settles, we—as neighbors and brothers—will once again look each other in the face.

After the deadly roar of bombs and missiles falls silent, we will continue to live together in this land.

I believe no one should forget this reality.

💬 🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan:

Although the war is Israel’s war, it is first Muslims and then all of humanity who are paying the heavy price.

The Netanyahu government is not only targeting Iran; it is also implementing its plans to occupy Lebanon step by step.

💬 🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan:

We do not discriminate among our brothers and neighbors, nor do we remain indifferent to the suffering of our brothers.

As Türkiye, we do not abandon the peoples we consider friends and brothers in times of hardship, just as we stand with them in good times.

While bloodshed continues in our region, we do not consider it right, under any circumstances, to bring up disputes from a thousand years ago again.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran says it has sent a formal reply to US proposals and is waiting for Washington’s response.

Tehran’s conditions include: ending attacks and assassinations, guarantees the war won’t restart, full compensation for damages, and a region-wide end to fighting involving allied groups.

It also insists its control over the Strait of Hormuz is a “natural and legal right.”

At the same time, Iran says it does not trust US negotiations, calling them a “deception” aimed at appearing peaceful, keeping oil prices low, and buying time for possible new military action.

#️⃣ 🇮🇷 Senior Iranian official to Reuters:

Iran’s assessment of U.S. 15-point proposal is that it is “one-sided and unfair,” serving only U.S., Israel interests.

#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper:

The death of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps - Navy (IRGC-N) commander, Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, from an Israeli airstrike makes the region safer.

We call on every Iranian serving in the IRGC-N to immediately abandon their post and return home to avoid further risk of unnecessary injury or death.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

We have knocked out close to 90% of launchers and probably more than 90% of the missiles themselves.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

They are begging to make a deal, not me.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

They are not fools; they are very smart, actually, in a certain way.

They are great negotiators.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

Obama chose Iran over Israel.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

One of their missiles went 2,500 miles; they supposedly didn’t have a missile like that.

We have been proven right with that one.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

The UK didn’t want to get dragged in; we don’t want to get dragged into their wars either.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

The UK’s aircraft carriers are toys compared to what we have.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

They are now admitting to themselves that they have been decisively defeated. They are telling to people, “This is a disaster—they know it.” That’s why they’re talking to us; otherwise, they wouldn’t be.

They’re talking to us because they have a disaster on their hands. They’re defeated. They can’t make a comeback.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

They now have a chance to make a deal, but that’s up to them.

They are begging to make a deal. We’ll see if we can reach the right one. If they make the right deal, then the Hormuz Strait will open up.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

They don’t have any “mine droppers” left.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on NATO over Iran:

This was a test for NATO. It was a test of whether you would help us. You didn’t have to, but if you didn’t, we’re going to remember that.

Just remember this—a number of months from now. Remember my words. There’s an expression: “Never forget.” You can never forget.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Ali Khamenei:

We had to stop this maniac, who is no longer with us—the supreme leader. He wasn’t so supreme.

He is no longer with us; it’s very sad.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump on Iran:

I thought, frankly—I thought the oil prices would go up more, and I thought the stock market would go down more. It hasn't been nearly as severe as I thought.

I think they have confidence in maybe the American President and maybe the people sitting around this table.
