Israel should not be given a chance to sabotage US-Iran deal: Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that Israel should not be given a chance to sabotage the peace deal between the US and Iran. He said that the support of regional countries is essential for establishing a lasting peace in the Middle East. Erdogan made this statement at a joint press conference with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif in Istanbul recently. During this, he accused Israel of trying to sabotage efforts to resolve the conflict.
Erdogan, who was accompanied by Shahbaz Sharif, said in the press conference that it is not possible to achieve sustainable peace in the Middle East without the participation and support of the countries in the region. “No solution can be lasting without the goodwill and contribution of the regional countries,” he said. The Turkish leader stressed regional cooperation to ensure long-term stability and prevent new conflicts.
Erdogan said Ankara was closely monitoring Israel’s efforts to sabotage the US-Iran deal. “We are closely monitoring the Israeli administration’s efforts to destroy the US-Iran deal,” he said. “The current belligerent Israeli government cannot be allowed to drown our land in the smell of gunpowder and blood again,” he added.
The Turkish president has repeatedly accused Israel of undermining the US-Iran deal. He has also consistently condemned Israel’s military operations in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. Erdogan’s comments came shortly after indirect talks between delegations from both countries were held in Qatar following an exchange of military strikes between the US and Iran.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Garibabadi said Tehran would set up a “communication channel” with Washington to inform it of any violations of the deal.
What’s in the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding
The memorandum of understanding, brokered by Qatar and Pakistan, outlines several key commitments aimed at reducing tensions. The agreement includes:
• A 60-day ceasefire
• Reopening the Strait of Hormuz
• Reaching an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program
• Setting a deadline for reaching a final agreement to permanently end the conflict
However, despite the agreement, tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high. In addition to public disputes over the interpretation and implementation of the agreement, both countries have carried out retaliatory attacks against each other in the past week, raising renewed international concerns about the durability of the agreement.
