— Turkish President Erdoğan on Iran:The cost of this war that began with Israel's provocations and machinations is being paid not only by the Iranian people and our brotherly Gulf countries but by everyone, whether directly involved or not.
It was once again Israel's lies and acts of sabotage that thwarted the Islamabad Accord, which had given our entire region a much-needed respite.
Unless this radical mindset, which sees even the slightest possibility of peace as a threat to itself, changes, the storm of crises in our region will not subside.
