Türkiye lauded by US, Iran for mediation role in war-end deal
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and other senior Turkish officials on June 15 welcomed an agreement announced by the United States and Iran to end the Middle East war, while regional and international leaders credited Türkiye for supporting the mediation effort.
Erdoğan called the deal “an important development for ensuring peace and tranquility in our region” in a statement posted on X.
“I would like to emphasize the importance of refraining from rhetoric, provocations and actions that could escalate tensions, and of remaining vigilant against possible acts of sabotage until the day the signatures are affixed,” he wrote.
Erdoğan thanked the U.S. and Iranian leaderships for reaching the deal and singled out Pakistan for what he called “exceptional mediation efforts,” while also praising diplomatic support from Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
