Ankara: Turkey has issued a stark warning about the risk of a “global catastrophe” following the recent military actions taken by the United States against Iran. The Turkish Foreign Ministry expressed deep concern over the escalating conflict in the region, emphasizing the potential for it to evolve into a crisis with far-reaching global implications.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Turkish Foreign Ministry released a statement today highlighting Ankara’s previous warnings about the dangers of escalating tensions due to ongoing Israeli actions. The statement pointed out that the recent US military strike has significantly heightened the risk of a broader conflict.

The Foreign Ministry’s statement underscored Turkey’s concern over the consequences of the recent escalation and stressed the importance of halting mutual attacks immediately. It urged all involved parties to avoid actions that could lead to increased human casualties and destruction.

Ankara called for responsible behavior from all sides and emphasized that the only viable solution to the disputes surrounding Iran’s nuclear program is a return to negotiations. The statement concluded with Turkey’s offer to play a constructive role in efforts to de-escalate the situation and prevent a regional crisis with potential international repercussions.

The military escalation follows an announcement by US President Donald Trump regarding a “very successful” attack on Iran’s key nuclear facilities, including the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan sites.
