Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Israel of carrying out recent strikes on Iran with “comprehensive and insidious purposes,” according to a report by Al Jazeera. The comments followed a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which both leaders condemned what they called an Israeli “act of force” and urged an immediate halt to hostilities.

Following the call, the Kremlin released a statement warning that the ongoing escalation between Israel and Iran had already caused significant casualties and posed “serious long-term consequences for the entire region.”
