Erdogan says Turkey concerned about potential attacks on Iran, reaches out to Trump

Turkey does not want to see a new wave of attacks against Iran, President Tayyip Erdogan said, adding that he conveyed his concerns to US President Donald Trump in a recent phone call.

"We emphasize at every opportunity that it is possible to resolve these issues through dialogue and diplomacy. Unfortunately, we see a negative shift once again. We are doing our utmost to prevent this," Erdogan told reporters on a return flight from Azerbaijan, according to a transcript shared by his office on Monday.
