Türkiye's Erdogan says Israel must not be able to ‘dynamite’ US-Iran deal


The Türkiye leader has repeatedly accused Israel of trying to undermine the US-Iran memorandum of understanding.

Türkiye's President Tayyip Erdogan has said that peace efforts in the Middle East could not succeed without regional backing, adding that Israel must not be allowed to “dynamite” the United States-Iran deal.

Speaking on Saturday in Istanbul alongside his Pakistani counterpart, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Erdogan said that “no solution that does not take strength from the will and contributions of regional countries can be lasting.”
