Turkia(The COW News Digital)Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed hope that Iran will be able to overcome its ongoing crisis through dialogue and negotiations, stressing that diplomacy, not force, remains the only viable path toward stability.
Speaking to the media in Istanbul, President Erdogan said that Iran’s internal challenges should be addressed through political engagement and diplomatic channels. He firmly opposed any form of military intervention, warning that the use of force would only deepen instability across an already volatile region.
“The crisis in Iran should be resolved through negotiations, not power,” Erdogan said. He added that regional peace and security would be severely undermined by any external military action, emphasizing that further unrest would not serve the interests of any country.

Erdogan noted that Iran is currently facing difficult circumstances but expressed confidence that the country would eventually emerge from the crisis. He highlighted Iran’s importance to regional balance, stating that stability in Iran is essential for the broader Middle East.
The Turkish president’s remarks come amid heightened tensions in Iran, where political unrest and economic pressures have triggered widespread concern both domestically and internationally. Regional leaders and global powers are closely monitoring developments, mindful of the potential spillover effects into neighboring countries.
Turkey has consistently positioned itself as a proponent of diplomatic solutions to regional conflicts, often advocating dialogue over confrontation. Erdogan reiterated that approach, calling on all parties involved to exercise restraint and prioritize peaceful engagement.
He also warned that instability in Iran could have serious consequences for the region, including increased security risks, economic disruptions, and humanitarian challenges. According to Erdogan, preserving regional stability requires cooperation, patience, and respect for sovereignty.
Turkey shares historical, economic, and geopolitical ties with Iran, making developments there particularly significant for Ankara. Analysts say Erdogan’s comments reflect Turkey’s concern over the potential regional fallout of prolonged unrest or external intervention.
The Turkish leader further emphasized that crises in the Middle East cannot be resolved through military means alone. He argued that sustainable peace depends on inclusive dialogue, mutual understanding, and respect for international norms.
Erdogan’s statement aligns with calls from several regional actors who have urged de-escalation and diplomatic engagement in response to Iran’s situation. While international reactions remain divided, there is growing concern that escalating tensions could further destabilize the region.
As uncertainty continues, Erdogan reaffirmed Turkey’s support for peaceful solutions and regional cooperation. “Iran’s stability is vital not just for its people, but for the entire region,” he said, adding that dialogue remains the strongest tool for overcoming the current crisis.
