Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held separate phone calls on Saturday with his counterparts from Azerbaijan and Egypt to discuss Israel’s recent large-scale assault on Iran, according to diplomatic sources.

Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke on Saturday with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty regarding Israel’s military attacks on Iran and other ongoing regional developments, Turkish diplomatic sources confirmed.

The calls came a day after Israeli forces launched a massive airstrike operation on Iranian territory, targeting nuclear and missile facilities. The attacks killed more than 104 people, including senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, and injured nearly 380 others, according to Iranian media.

In retaliation, Iran fired ballistic missiles at multiple locations across Israel, killing three people and wounding more than 170 others.

The phone discussions also touched upon broader regional tensions and diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further escalation, the sources added.
