Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sharply condemned Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iran, describing them as a blatant provocation and a violation of international law. He warned that the attacks risk plunging the region into chaos and called for immediate international intervention to restrain Israel’s military actions.
The Israeli strikes reportedly targeted over 100 locations, including nuclear and military facilities, resulting in the deaths of top Iranian officials and scientists. Erdogan accused Israel of deliberately escalating tensions to deflect attention from its ongoing operations in Gaza and to trigger broader regional conflict.
Global reactions have been mixed, with French President Emmanuel Macron backing Israel’s right to self-defense but urging restraint. Erdogan, however, maintained that Israel’s aggression threatens global peace and demanded urgent action from the United Nations and world powers.
