Turkey’s top officials said their military will join a planned operation against Islamic State fighters in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan dismissed protests from Baghdad with a string of insults on national television.

“You are not my interlocutor, you are not at my level, you are not my equivalent, you are not of the same quality as me,” Erdogan said, referring to Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. “It is not important at all that you are screaming in Iraq, we will do what we know. You should first know your boundaries.”
