Statements and warnings from political and military leaders about the conflict that erupted between the United States and Israel against Iran from June 2025 to March 2026.
"For decades, Tehran's leaders have openly called for the destruction of Israel. They backed their genocidal rhetoric with a nuclear weapons program. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time"
"When we're done, take control of the government. It will be yours. And this may be your only chance for generations to come. For years you've asked for America's help, but you didn't get it. Now you have a president who will deliver"
"Israeli strikes constitute a declaration of war, and what Israel has done is deliberate aggression and a flagrant violation of the UN Charter"
"The attacks came in self-defense and for the survival of the State of Israel. This escalation came after the failure of diplomatic efforts"
