Erdogan Says Israel Must Not Scupper US-Iran Deal
Anadolu published a Turkish state-media account of Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Istanbul press conference at 18:01, and Jerusalem Post posted a Reuters live update at 19:00 IDT saying Erdogan accused Israel of trying to sabotage the U.S.-Iran peace track and warned it must not be allowed to "dynamite" the deal. Ynet, Dawn and LBCI also report that Erdogan spoke beside Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, tied durable regional diplomacy to regional backing, and called Israel's current government war-addicted. For Israel, the quote is hostile rhetoric; the practical test is whether any Ankara-Islamabad channel restrains Iran's nuclear work, Hormuz coercion and terror proxies.
