Turkish Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar met with New Zealand Minister of Defense Andrew Little in Kayseri to discuss cooperation in defense and security in the defense industry field. During the meeting, Minister Akar expressed his gratification for the continuation of the friendship between the two countries that started after the Dardanelles Wars and said he hoped it would get even better in the future. He also thanked him for the support and solidarity shown by New Zealand after the severe earthquakes in Türkiye.
Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian warned that Israel would “regret” its attack on Iran, following massive Israeli airstrikes on key military and nuclear sites. “The Zionist regime will regret its action today,” Pezeshkian said, adding that a special cabinet meeting was immediately convened in response to the strikes.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi submitted a formal letter to the United Nations, condemning the attacks as violations of international law and describing them as “state-sponsored terrorism.” He stated, “Israel has now crossed all red lines,” calling the strikes war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
Arakchi also emphasized the risk of a radiological disaster at the Natanz Nuclear Facility and demanded an emergency UN Security Council meeting, warning that Iran will respond in a “determined and proportionate” manner.
