3:23pm Local (Istanbul) time was when Iran earthquake occurred (likely also did damage in parts of Azerbaijan), so near the end of her schedule but graciously woven in to offer assistance to Iran. State Dept using compassion as a way to nurture solutions besides all other tools as Middle East appears closer to more and more “forever”-changing events. Social Media helping link pieces of challenges for those in need—some of same things Sec. Clinton and State Department doing to leverage assets & infrastructure to assist in hard places.
