Turkey’s foreign minister says reciprocal attacks in the Gulf are damaging efforts to reach peace and must stop immediately. Speaking in Baku at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart, Hakan Fidan frames the attacks as undermining moves aimed at ending a US-Iran conflict, while emphasizing that Turkey values the stability of Iran.
Fidan also calls for freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and for the reinstatement of the pre-war status quo. He says Ankara is in contact with all parties involved to find a solution. The outlets report the same core message from Turkey, with both focusing on Fidan’s linking of Gulf strikes to peace prospects and his emphasis on maintaining access through the strait.
While the coverage differs only in wording, both accounts attribute Turkey’s position to a senior Turkish official and present it as a call for de-escalation in the Gulf region, particularly involving the United States and Iran.
