Turkiye deplores joint US-Israeli attacks, “which clearly violate Iran's sovereignty and threaten the peace of the friendly and brotherly Iranian people,” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan at an event in Istanbul.

Axar.az informs, citing Anadolu Agency, "Regardless of the reason, we consider Iran's missile and drone attacks on our brotherly countries in the Gulf unacceptable,” Erdogan also stressed.

If common sense does not prevail and diplomacy is not given a chance, “our region faces the risk of being dragged into a ring of fire,” Erdogan warned.

“To prevent further bloodshed and spare our region from greater suffering, all actors—especially the Islamic world— must take urgent action,” said Erdogan.

Ankara will step up diplomatic efforts immediately—first to secure a ceasefire, and then to resume talks at the negotiating table, said the president.
