Erdoğan urges global actors to shield Iran deal from Israeli sabotage
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on June 15 urged international actors to help preserve the newly announced agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the Middle East conflict, warning that Israel could seek to undermine the process.
“The U.S.-Iran agreement is a very important step in the war that began with Israel’s plots and provocations on February 28,” Erdoğan said after a cabinet meeting in Ankara. “Our region, which has been on edge for months, has breathed a sigh of relief.”
The president accused Israel of opposing efforts to restore stability, arguing that actors benefiting from prolonged conflict would attempt to obstruct the emerging diplomatic process.
“Those who pin all their hopes on the continued sound of gunfire in our region will, we know very well, be disturbed by the strengthening of the climate of peace. As they have done many times before, they will do everything in their power to obstruct this process,” Erdoğan said.
