Turkey has appealed to both the United States and Iran to cease recent retaliatory attacks, warning of potential wider conflict in the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan expressed concern over the escalating cycle of violence that began two days prior. Speaking from Sofia, Fidan urged restraint from both nations to prevent further destabilization of the region. The call for de-escalation comes after a series of strikes and counter-strikes between the US and Iran, fueled by regional conflicts. Turkey emphasized the need for dialogue and diplomatic solutions to address underlying tensions. The country fears the current exchange could exacerbate the existing war and broaden its scope. This appeal reflects Turkey’s position as a regional actor seeking stability.
