Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held phone calls on Feb. 28 with the foreign ministers of Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Syria, Egypt and Indonesia to discuss the rapidly escalating regional situation and possible steps to help end the attacks, Turkish diplomatic sources said.
The calls came after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, triggering a sharp rise in tensions across the region and renewed fears of a wider conflict.
According to the sources, the ministers reviewed today’s developments and evaluated measures that could be taken to stop the attacks and prevent further escalation.
Ankara has repeatedly warned that the region cannot withstand another war and has urged restraint and diplomacy as tensions surrounding Iran intensify.
