Erdoğan tells UN chief US-Iran deal must be protected

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has told U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres that the diplomatic opportunity created by the U.S.-Iran agreement should be used carefully, warning that the international community had a role in preventing the process from being sabotaged.

Erdoğan and Guterres discussed regional and global developments in a phone call on June 15, Türkiye’s Communications Directorate said.

Erdoğan said Türkiye was working to help establish peace and stability, particularly in Iran, Gaza and the Horn of Africa.

He also said the effective continuation of U.N. missions in Syria was important and that Türkiye would continue to provide the necessary support.
