The President called on world leaders avoid \u201cegging\u201d Iran to war which could lead to a nuclear war that could \u201cend the planet Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was one President Rodrigo Roa Duterte\u2019s concerns during his speech in the Asia-Pacific Healthy Islands Conference 2018 before health professionals on Wednesday, July 25.<\/p>\n

Duterte was initially discussing climate change and said that \u201cexploding missiles and throwing it to the sea\u201d as practice would already kill a lot marine lives \u2013 a fourth of the world\u2019s consumption for five or 10 years \u2013 he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time that you explode something that\u2019s terrible in whatever oceans. So first is, before anything else, there has to be peace in the world. The South Korea Peninsula issue has to be resolved,\u201d he started.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive then went on by saying, \u201cThen we stop egging Iran to go to war. Because then if that\u2019s what will happen, even about a few hundreds of missiles, nuclear, then there\u2019s no use of talking about climate change. The nuclear explosion, every time it\u2019s being done, eats or erodes the dignity of earl altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte continued that leaders of the nations will bear this responsibility since they are the ones who \u201ccan make the change and can do so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we appreciate nations who approach the problem with sobriety, understanding and providing the coolers heads, so to speak,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n

Duterte, however, did not specify any country saying that cannot be \u201ctoo generic\u201d with his selection because \u201cyou know how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure everybody knows what are these things. And so before anything else, let us decide that we avoid war because that would be disaster. I think it would be the end of planet Earth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive proceeded on stressing that apart from the destruction that the explosion would cause, the \u201cresidue\u201d would still \u201cgreatly change the ecosystem of the world\u201d which could result in hunger.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it, I said, it behooves upon us to do everything to avoid all of these troubles. I said, for after all, if there\u2019s a nuclear confrontation of what use would be the issue of climate change to us. And that is really a problem,\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s sentiments came after the word war of the leaders of United States of America (USA) and Iran.<\/p>\n

Two days ago, Donald Trump tweeted a message to his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Iranian President Rouhani: Never, ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death. Be cautious!\u201d Trump wrote in all-caps.<\/p>\n

This came after Rouhani\u2019s threats during a televised speech, warning Trump to \u201cnot play with the lion\u2019s tail or else you will regret it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace with Iran would be the mother of all peace and war with Iran would be the mother of all wars,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
