Iran is facing its biggest demonstrations since 2022, and US President Donald Trump has threatened to get involved if force is used against protesters. NATO member, Turkey does not wish to see chaos in Iran despite “certain problems within Iranian society and government”, Omer Celik, Spokesperson for Turkey’s ruling AK Party, said.
“As Iranian President (Masoud) Pezeshkian has stated, these problems must be resolved through the internal dynamics of Iranian society and the national will of Iran. We believe that foreign intervention will lead to even worse consequences, and that intervention provoked by Israel in particular will lead to even greater crises,” Celik told a press conference after a meeting of the ruling party.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that Israel was closely monitoring the protests in Iran.
“We all hope that the Persian nation will soon be freed from the yoke of tyranny,” he said. Trump and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan have close personal ties.
