Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered his Iranian counterpart, Masud Pezeshkian, on Monday to act as an intermediary with Israel to end the conflict between the two countries, exacerbated by the recent Israeli bombing of military and nuclear facilities in Iran.
Erdogan made this offer in a second phone call in two days with the Iranian leader, according to the Turkish Presidency's communications office.
During that conversation, the head of the Turkish state reported that in recent days he has been in contact with several regional leaders and that he is willing to play a mediating role to end the fighting and resume negotiations between the United States and Iran for an agreement on the Iranian nuclear program.
Since last Saturday, Erdogan has spoken about the escalation of tension with the leaders of Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Pakistan.
In those conversations, he has conveyed his opinion that, with its attacks, Israel has shown that it is the greatest threat to peace and stability in the Middle East.
Israel has justified the bombings of atomic and military installations in Iran by claiming that that country is trying to manufacture a nuclear weapon, something about which the International Atomic Energy Agency, a UN agency, has assured that it has no evidence.
