"Iran's stability is important for Turkey," says Turkish Foreign Minister

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan issued a series of statements on Friday, emphasizing the need for Iran to find comprehensive solutions to its domestic and regional challenges.

He expressed hope that Iran addresses its issues internally, without foreign intervention, and stressed that the country’s stability is a priority for Turkey.

Fidan strongly opposed any foreign military intervention in Iran, asserting that such actions would not produce positive outcomes on the ground. He warned against escalation that could drag the region into a broader conflict.

Accusations against 'Israel' and US pressure

The minister accused 'Israeli' authorities of pushing the United States toward a potential military strike on Iran. He called on 'Israel' to abandon policies that destabilize the region, cautioning that US involvement could lead to severe consequences.

Turkey views the resumption of direct negotiations between the Trump administration and Iranian leadership as the only viable solution.

Fidan urged both sides to immediately return to the negotiating table, particularly on the nuclear program, to reduce tensions and avoid military confrontation. He highlighted that a political deal remains possible if US policymakers resist pressure from pro-'Israel' lobbying groups.
