"Erdogan is a wonderful person, he is a very good friend of mine."

Operativ Media reports that US President Donald Trump said this during his speech at a meeting on Iran during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

"I have great friends at this table. Extraordinary work has been done, thank you all very much. Erdogan is a wonderful person, he is a very good friend of mine. He is a tough man. Don't play games with him," Trump said.

The US leader stated that the peace plan in Gaza was an excellent approach. He claimed that Iran wants to possess nuclear weapons: "We will not allow this. Iran has no military power left. Ballistic missile and drone launchers have been destroyed. Air defense systems have been destroyed.

Their economy is in ruins, and the Iranian currency is worthless. We are isolating Iran financially."
