ANKARA — Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has warned of “possible provocations and sabotage” to the temporary ceasefire deal agreed by Iran and the United States. In a phone call with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Erdogan said no opportunity should be given for the ceasefire process with Iran to be sabotaged, his office said. Erdogan said the two-week “window of opportunity” must be very well utilized for a permanent peace agreement. In a message on X welcoming the last-minute accord, Erdogan said: “We hope that the ceasefire will be fully implemented on the ground without giving any opportunity for possible provocations and sabotage.” During the telephone conversation with his US counterpart, Erdogan urged “a lasting peace agreement” with Iran. “This two-week window of opportunity, which has opened after 40 days of considerable tension and suffering for the whole world, must be used to reach a lasting peace deal,” Erdogan told Trump, the statement added. He also called for “this process not to be compromised under any circumstances” and said Turkey would offer its full support to ensure as much. Turkey has meanwhile sent three trucks of medical aid to Iran, Health Minister Kemal Memisoglu announced. The minister said on X that he wanted to “heal the wounds” of the “oppressed.” — Agencies
