Erdogan says Israel's future is threatened by attacks on Iran

"Israel, which, with the unlimited support of the West, is attacking Iran, destroying Gaza and intimidating all countries in the region, does not realize what it is doing. Perhaps in the future he will realize his mistake, but we are afraid that by then it will be too late," he said after a meeting of the Turkish cabinet of Ministers, his words are quoted by the Demirören news agency.

According to Erdogan, Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities have large-scale and insidious goals. He stressed that Turkey has been advocating from the very beginning for discussions on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program to be held at the negotiating table and called on the parties to resolve the issue peacefully.
