Speaking in Ankara, Erdoğan vowed that Türkiye will intensify diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire and restore peace. “We stand on the side of peace. We want bloodshed to stop, tears to cease, and for our region to finally attain lasting peace,” he said, warning that inaction could trigger serious regional and global security risks. The violence follows joint U.S.-Israeli strikes since Saturday, reportedly killing senior Iranian officials, including Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Official reports estimate at least 800 deaths across all sides, including six U.S. service members, 18 seriously wounded, and others with minor injuries.
