“Türkiye is among the leading countries defending reason, dialogue, and diplomacy in seeking solutions to crises amid the current state of madness,” Erdogan said.
The Middle East crisis intensified after Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Iran on February 28.
The strikes have reportedly killed more than 1,200 people, including Iran’s former supreme leader Ali Khamenei, as well as more than 150 schoolgirls. Over 10,000 people have also been injured.
In response, Iran has carried out drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and several Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Eight US service members have been killed since the conflict began.
