Retired Turkish Ambassasdor Uluç Özülker:

Netanyahu is approaching Türkiye differently, and he's sending messages saying that “we cannot fight against Türkiye.”

He is speaking loudly for one reason: he needs to show himself as a captain who is not afraid of the high seas.

Retired Turkish Ambassasdor Uluç Özülker:

2,500 soldiers are — I mean, this cannot be considered as full power or a power that would really harm Türkiye or excite Türkiye and bring Türkiye to a responsive attack.

It's not possible because there is no equality between the two sides.

In any case, they are bluffing.

Retired Turkish Ambassasdor Uluç Özülker:

Israel is not in a position to declare war on Türkiye.

Türkiye will continue to gain more power. We will continue with our new investments to make others understand: don’t touch Türkiye.

Over 200 people, including children and women, killed on ethnic grounds by the Rapid Support Forces in the Ambro, Serba, and Abu Qumra areas.

Trump on Ukraine–Russia: (2024)

That is a war that is dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become President.

If I win, when I’m President-elect, what I’ll do is I’ll speak to one, I’ll speak to the other, I’ll get them together.

(It has been 417 days since Trump was elected.)

Iran’s Minister of the Interior:

If current trends continue, Iran’s population will fall below 40 million by 1480 (2101 AD) — a major catastrophe.

Zelensky:

Ukraine has clear “red lines” — these are its territories and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation under any circumstances.

Lithuania has officially withdrawn from the Ottawa Convention banning anti-personnel mines, six months after notifying the UN Secretary-General.

Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif:

We may have made mistakes, and I admit that we made mistakes.

Iran’s intention from the beginning was not expansion; it was to prevent Israeli expansion.

We have never controlled a single Arab capital — never.

Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif:

Syria was never an Iranian province. We went to Damascus to ask Bashar al-Assad to allow us to help in the battle against the Zionist enemy.

What did we gain in Syria? What did Iran gain? Anything other than supporting the Palestinian cause?

Why did Israel recognize Somaliland?

To expand intelligence depth and secure Red Sea access, Israel seeks a strategic foothold in the Horn of Africa.

The move also reshapes regional leverage around Gaza while indirectly constraining Türkiye, Egypt, and Saudi influence.

Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif:

Did any Arab movement — Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Syrian government — fire a single shot to help Iran?

I can say that over the past forty-five years that I have followed Iran’s foreign relations, not a single shot has been fired in our defense.

We were attacked, we suffered because of our support for Arabs, but not a single shot was fired to support us — not against Israel and not against any other country.
