Warning to Iran targeting Turkey from the USA: You cannot confront us.

The Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia Subcommittee, Joe Wilson, made a striking post on his social media account.

"TURKEY IS A CRITICAL PARTNER."

Wilson reacted to the outrageous remarks made about Turkey during an official ceremony attended by government officials in Iran, which was also broadcast on state television IRINN. Strongly condemning the anti-Turkey statements, Wilson said, "I condemn the defamatory statements of the terrorist regime in Iran against NATO ally Turkey and Azerbaijan. As clearly seen in Syria, Turkey, a NATO ally, is a critical partner against the terrorist regime in Tehran."
