Erdogan warns any strike on Lebanon or Iran will be treated as attack on Turkiye read more

Web Desk: According to Arab media reports, Erdogan, speaking on the situation in the Middle East and the ongoing tensions, said the escalating war-like conditions in the region were deeply alarming.

He said Israel must stop “playing with fire” or face a severe lesson, and urged it to refrain from creating obstacles in the path of peace. “Any strike on Lebanon or Iran, would be treated as a strike on Turkiye,” he said.

The Turkish president said Israel would have to pay the price for sabotaging regional peace. If negotiations failed, he said, action against Israel would become a duty. He added that, as Turkiye had entered Karabakh and Libya, it could act in a similar manner in Israel.
