President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss escalating tensions involving Iran and the Gulf.
The phonecall came after Ankara publicly voiced alarm over recent U.S. and Israeli strikes and warned of the risk of wider regional conflict.
Türkiye’s Presidency of Communications said the two leaders spoke by phone about the latest situation in Iran and Gulf countries, as well as broader regional developments.
The statement did not provide further details on the timing of the call or whether specific outcomes or follow-up steps were agreed.
The conversation came amid sharply rising tensions following U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and retaliatory Iranian drone and missile strikes that reached several Gulf states, deepening fears of a broader confrontation across the Middle East.
