Turkey has shared its worries about Israel. Turkey thinks Israel might plan to attack Iran. This could make the Middle East even more unstable. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told Iranian officials about these concerns. He visited Tehran recently. He said Turkey is more and more worried.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also spoke with Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian. They talked on the phone. President Erdogan said Turkey does not want outside countries to interfere in Iran. He also said Turkey wants peace. Turkey supports Iran's borders. This is Turkey's usual policy. Turkey wants the region to be stable.
Minister Fidan said on Friday that Israel might want to use Iran's weak points. He hopes for peaceful solutions. However, he thinks Israel might use military force. An Iranian official agreed. He said Tehran would see any attack as a "war against us." Iran will be ready to fight back strongly.
These strong words come during difficult times. There is tension between the US and Iran. Former US President Donald Trump thought about sending navy ships to the Gulf. This made people more worried. We do not know if Israel will attack Iran. However, Turkey thinks it could cause a bigger problem.
Turkey is talking to both sides. The Foreign Minister met Iranian officials. The President spoke with the Iranian President. Turkey wants to stop a conflict. Turkey is trying to be careful. Iran's warning shows the situation is serious. We must wait and see if diplomacy can stop a war. The next few days will be important.
