🇹🇷🇮🇱 Turkish President Erdoğan sharply criticized Israeli PM Netanyahu, saying: “Netanyahu has surpassed Hitler in cruelty. The most horrific images from WWII are nothing compared to what we see from Gaza. Even during the Holocaust, they were not this inhumane or heartless.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla has presented Donald Trump with military strike options against Iran, according to The Jerusalem Post. Kurilla, who supports potential U.S. participation in Israeli strikes, met Trump personally and is expected to lead any such operation if approved.

🇺🇸 Trump: "We are not seeking a ceasefire. We are seeking total victory — and that means Iran will not have nuclear weapons."

He also claimed that Iran now wants to meet: "They want to come, even to the White House. But it's a little late for that. They should’ve agreed to a deal before Israel began its operation."
