Turkey’s foreign minister cautions against any renewed attack on Iran, saying it would deepen tensions and expand the conflict. Hakan Fidan tells reporters that diplomacy and dialogue are the only way to end the war, adding that military intervention is not a solution.
Fidan makes the remarks after meeting foreign ministers in Istanbul from Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, Britain and Italy. Outlets describe the talks as part of broader security discussions about the Iran conflict and related regional pressures, including attacks on Saudi Arabia by Iran-backed Houthi militants. Al-Monitor and the Jerusalem Post highlight Turkey’s warning that renewed escalation would spread the conflict, while Middle East Eye also emphasizes Fidan’s claim that a renewed military intervention is not supported and includes France’s warning about potential consequences such as higher oil prices.
