Türkiye's National Security Council has issued a formal call for the United States and Iran to return to the negotiating table, warning that the ongoing conflict risks spreading across the region and disrupting vital global trade routes. The statement was released following a meeting held at the Presidential Complex in Ankara, which was presided over by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
In its official assessment, the council highlighted the potential threats posed by the renewed hostilities, urging all involved parties to exercise restraint and avoid the use of force. The council emphasized that a return to negotiations is essential for establishing lasting peace in the area.
Beyond the Iran-US situation, the council reviewed the ongoing progress of initiatives aimed at achieving a "Terror-Free Türkiye" and a "terror-free region." These efforts were described as a historic milestone in the pursuit of the nation's security, stability, and prosperity, with the council conducting consultations on the next phases of implementation.
Additionally, the council addressed the situation in Palestine, asserting that the international community must adopt a clear and uncompromising stance against the Israeli administration. This call followed concerns regarding continued provocative attacks directed at holy sites in the region.
