The tension that began on June 13 with Israel's attack on Iran continues to escalate with each passing day. On the 10th day of the war, the US intervened and launched an attack on nuclear facilities in Iran.
While the rising tension in the Middle East is being followed with concern by the entire global public, the first statement regarding the developments has come from the Palace.
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz stated in a post on his X account that the regional tension has reached a dimension that raises concerns following the US strike on Iran's nuclear facility.
Yılmaz said, "If this course of events is not ended immediately and diplomacy is not put into action, it could lead to much more dangerous consequences for regional and global security."
The full text of Cevdet Yılmaz's statement is as follows:
"While nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US were ongoing, the regional tension that began with Israel's unlawful aggression against Iran has gained new and deeply concerning dimensions with the US involvement in the process.
If this course of events is not ended immediately and diplomacy is not put into action, it could lead to much more dangerous consequences for regional and global security.
The fair and correct stance regarding Iran's nuclear activities is to stop the attacks and restart negotiations within the framework of international law. Our region and humanity need more effective and confidence-building diplomacy, not more conflict.
If the conflicts escalate, humanitarian, environmental, and economic costs will rise, and security risks will increase for all parties.
We invite the international community, institutions, and all responsible countries to support the approach and efforts put forward by our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, for a diplomatic solution based on negotiation.
As the Republic of Turkey, we will continue to stand for humanitarian values, law, justice, stability, and the pursuit of peaceful solutions to problems through diplomacy."
