Erdogan on the Islamic Republic of Iran:

The war costs that were triggered by Israel’s provocations and conspiracies are being paid not only by the Iranian people and our brother countries in the Persian Gulf, but by everyone—whether directly involved or not.

Once again, it was Israel’s lies and sabotage that thwarted the Islamabad agreement, which had provided essential respite for our entire region.

Unless this extremist mindset changes—one that even the smallest possibility of peace regards as a threat to itself—the storm of crises in our region will not subside.
