Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan says he views the agreement reached between the US and Iran as an “important development for establishing peace and tranquility in our region”.

“I sincerely hope that this news, which the entire world has long needed, will pave the way for the establishment of a lasting environment of peace and security in our region.

“I emphatically underscore the need to avoid rhetoric, provocations, and actions that could escalate tensions in the period leading up to the signing of the agreement, and to remain vigilant against possible sabotage,” he said in a post on X.

He also thanked Pakistan for “its exceptional mediation efforts” and appreciated “the support provided to diplomatic initiatives by Qatar and Saudi Arabia”.

Turkiye “will continue to support all efforts aimed at establishing peace, stability, and tranquility in our region and contribute to lasting solutions based on diplomacy and international law,” he said.
