Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, in an interview with Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar, says that Ankara wants to see the ceasefire between the US and Iran maintained.

“Our most urgent concern is to see that the ceasefire is holding, this is what we care about at the moment,” he says.

Fidan adds that “nobody would like to see” a return to war, because the global economy and the world’s energy security are “suffering” enough as it is.
