Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday, discussing the recent attacks on Iran and the subsequent regional tensions, the Türkiye Directorate of Communications said.

During the call, Erdogan urged all parties to return to diplomacy and dialogue, stressing readiness to provide all kinds of support for the peace process.

Erdogan also underlined the importance of close coordination between Türkiye and the EU during the process.

The US and Israel launched an attack on Iran on Saturday, killing several top Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Tehran retaliated with a series of drone and missile attacks that targeted Israel, US assets and several Gulf countries.

Israel and the US launched a similar attack on Iran last June, triggering a 12-day war before a ceasefire was announced.
