Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Thursday that Ankara remains "completely opposed to any plan that aims to provoke civil war in Iran and fuel conflicts along ethnic or religious fault lines."
Minister Fidan made the remarks during a joint press conference following his meeting with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul in the capital Ankara.
His remarks came as US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, launched Feb. 28, have killed about 1,300 people and injured
Tensions gripped the Middle East after Israel and the US launched joint attacks on Iran on Feb. 28 and have so far killed more than 1,300 people, including Ali Khamenei, the country's former supreme leader, and more than 150 schoolgirls. More than 10,000 people were also injured in the Israeli and US attacks.
Tehran retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and several Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
