Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a phone call with Mohammed bin Salman to discuss rising regional tensions following attacks linked to the widening confrontation involving Iran.
According to Türkiye’s Communications Directorate on Sunday, Erdogan expressed his well-wishes after recent strikes targeting Saudi Arabia and warned that failure to halt the escalation could lead to “very serious consequences” for both regional and global security.
The call comes as Iran has been launching missile and drone attacks on US military installations across several Middle Eastern countries, saying the strikes are aimed at bases used to stage operations against it. The retaliatory attacks have targeted multiple Gulf states and heightened fears of a broader regional war.
