Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated on January 24, 2026, that Israel is seeking an opportunity to attack Iran, potentially destabilizing the region. Fidan conveyed these concerns directly to Iranian officials during a recent visit to Tehran. His warning follows President Erdogan's statement to his Iranian counterpart, emphasizing Turkiye's opposition to foreign intervention and its support for Iran's stability. In response, a senior Iranian official stated that any attack would be treated as an all-out war. This comes amid escalating tensions and rhetoric between the US and Iran, including President Trump's claim of sending a naval "armada" to the Gulf region.
