WHO IS SAYING WHAT
‘DANGEROUS TIMES’
“We are living in dangerous times. … This cauldron of tensions is leading more and more countries to take unpredicted decisions with unpredictable consequences and a profound risk of miscalculation. … Let us not forget the terrible human suffering caused by war. As always, ordinary people pay the highest price. It is our common duty to avoid it.”
UNSC IMPASSE OVER US EMBASSY ATTACK
“China does not accept the US accusation. China firmly supports the protection of the safety of foreign missions in accordance with international law. [But] The US unilateral military action has led to drastic changes in (the) regional situation.”
BID TO LIMIT TRUMP’S WAR POWERS
“This action (attack on Iranian general) endangered our servicemembers, diplomats and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran. As members of Congress, our first responsibility is to keep the American people safe. For this reason, we are concerned that the administration took this action without the consultation of Congress and without respect for Congress’s war powers granted to it by the Constitution.”
‘TERRORIST ASSASSINATION’
“What the US has accomplished in its terrorist assassination of anti-ISIS heroes is to unleash global anti-US fury and a worldwide rancor—on a scale not seen in recent memory. End of malign US presence in West Asia has begun.”
NO DECISION TO LEAVE IRAQ
“There is no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq... There has been no decision made to leave Iraq. Period. That letter is inconsistent with where we are right now.”
‘MUSLIMS SHOULD UNITE’
“The time is right for Muslim countries to come together. We are no longer safe now. If anybody insults or says something that somebody doesn’t like, it is all right for that person from another country to send a drone and perhaps have a shot at me.”
