Turkey SLAMS Israel’s ‘Terrorism’, Backs Iran’s Retaliation | Turkey Compares Netanyahu To Hitler

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has openly backed Iran’s military response to Israeli airstrikes, calling Tehran's actions "legitimate and lawful." In an explosive speech, Erdogan accused Israel of "banditry and state terrorism," and likened Prime Minister Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. He also condemned global silence over Israeli aggression, particularly in Gaza. Erdogan warned of further instability if Israel’s “inhuman attacks” continue and pledged to protect Türkiye’s interests. Meanwhile, Russia also denounced Israel’s campaign, while the U.S. maintained its full support for West Jerusalem and demanded Iran's “unconditional surrender.” #Erdogan #IranIsraelConflict #TurkeyIran #Netanyahu #IranRetaliates #IsraelStrikes #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaUnderAttack #TrumpIran #Khamenei #RecepTayyipErdogan #IsraelUnderFire #AyatollahKhamenei #NuclearTensions #RussiaCondemnsIsrael #TürkiyeStance #USIsraelAlliance #WorldWar3Fears #HitlerComparison #GlobalCrisis Also Read 'Operation Sindhu': India Starts Evacuating Its Nationals Stranded In Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-sindhu-india-starts-evacuating-its-nationals-stranded-in-iran-4185423.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Won’t Surrender, Khamenei Tells Trump — Says Tehran Doesn’t Respond To 'Language of Threat' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-won-t-surrender-khamenei-tells-trump-says-tehran-doesn-t-respond-to-language-of-threat-4185093.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Air Defence 'Overwhelmed' As Interceptor Stockpile Dwindles Amid Ongoing Iran Barrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-air-defence-overwhelmed-as-interceptor-stockpile-dwindles-amid-ongoing-iran-barrage-4184991.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Putin, Trump, Zelensky, Erdogan to discuss peace in Ukraine? Turkey pitches summit, Kremlin rejects

Turkey is pushing for a high-level Trump-Putin-Zelenskyy summit to cap the ongoing Istanbul peace talks on Ukraine. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, in Kyiv to meet Zelenskyy, claims the war could end in 2025 if all sides commit to talks and a lasting cease-fire. While Ukraine demands advance proposals and a full cease-fire, Russia insists on presenting terms in person. The U.S. threatens to disengage if Moscow resists progress, and Trump’s 30-day truce initiative remains stalled amid territorial disputes. #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulSummit #TurkeyDiplomacy #Zelenskyy #Putin #Trump #CeasefireNow #RussiaUkraineConflict #HakanFidan #UkrainePeaceDeal #GlobalDiplomacy #Geopolitics #IstanbulTalks #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDemands #TerritorialDispute #Peace2025 #TrumpPeacePlan #UkraineNews #PutinZelenskyy #TurkeyMediation #Kremlin #USWarning #CeasefireTalks #UkraineRussiaSummit #UkraineUpdate #PutinProposal #TrumpInitiative #WarResolution #PeaceEffort Also Read Erdogan Reaffirms Support For Islamabad Amid India Tensions: 'Long live Pakistan-Turkiye Friendship' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/erdogan-reaffirms-support-for-islamabad-amid-india-tensions-long-live-pakistan-turkiye-friendship-4163705.html?ref=DMDesc India Slams Turkey For Backing Pak, Urges Action Against Cross-Border Terrorism: 'Relations Are Built On...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-slams-turkey-for-backing-pak-urges-action-against-cross-border-terrorism-relations-are-buil-4160853.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru’s Wholesale Cloth Merchants Halt Imports from Turkey, Azerbaijan Amid National Outrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-s-wholesale-cloth-merchants-halt-imports-from-turkey-azerbaijan-amid-national-outrage-4156025.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

Turkey Wildfires Kill 2 As ‘Children Of Fire’ Claims Arson In 6 Cities, PKK Links Spark Fears

Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed. The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself “Children of Fire” claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities. The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign. The PKK has not commented on the claim. Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft. Roads near popular resort town Çeşme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated. As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation. The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues. #TurkeyWildfires #ArsonAttack #ChildrenOfFire #PKK #IzmirFire #AntalyaFire #WildfireTerror #TurkeyEmergency #ForestFires #ClimateCrisis #TerrorismAlert #PoliticalArson #Kurds #EmergencyEvacuation #ÇeşmeFires #TurkishDisaster #SecurityThreat #FightingFlames #FirefighterHero #IzmirBurns ~ED.194~HT.408~
