Erdogan’s strong message to Trump: Attacking Iran will bring disaster to the entire region

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned US President Donald Trump that any move by the United States that starts a new war against Iran will cause a major disaster throughout the Middle East.

He made the remarks while speaking to reporters on board a plane on his way back from Baku, Azerbaijan, on Monday (November 9). He delivered a clear anti-war message to Trump.

Although indirect talks are currently underway between Washington and Tehran, the US side is saying that there is not much hope from these talks. In the meantime, a high-level delegation led by the Prime Minister of Qatar is scheduled to meet with the US President. In this whole situation, Turkey has been saying from the beginning that any new military aggression against Iran will have a negative impact on the entire region.

But Erdogan's call with Trump was not just about Middle East security. The Turkish president also warned that the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz is not just a problem for Iran or its neighboring countries; it poses a major threat to all countries around the world that are currently struggling with high inflation and internal economic crises.
