Turkish President Says Tears in Iran Reflect All Muslims’ Suffering

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that the tears shed in Iran are no different from the tears of Muslims anywhere in the world. He emphasized that suffering in one region affects the global Muslim community.

Speaking at a Justice and Development Party meeting in Ankara, Erdoğan sharply criticized the Israeli government. He described it as a hatred-driven network causing genocide. He added that Israel’s actions are pushing the region toward the worst crisis of the century.

He questioned why the pain in Iranian cities like Isfahan, Tabriz, and Tehran is treated differently from that in Erbil, Oman, Baghdad, Beirut, Sanaa, Doha, Riyadh, and other brotherly cities. He stressed that names, locations, or sects do not change the human cost of violence.

Erdoğan also said Israeli and US attacks on Iran have intensified regional crises. The conflict affects the entire Middle East, with sectarian and ethnic lines losing significance. He highlighted that all attacks create shared suffering for Muslims and humanity alike.

In conclusion, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan says tears in Iran reflect all Muslims’ suffering, while warning that restricting worship at Al-Aqsa Mosque is a clear insult to 2 billion Muslims. He reiterated that rights to worship cannot be denied under any pretext.
