The Turkish foreign minister has urged Iran and the US to “find a real solution to this problem, which is affecting not only two respective countries but also the entire world”.

“I think there is enough will now… on both sides to stop the war,” Hakan Fidan tells Al Jazeera.

“It is prone to escalation, it is prone to further tragedy and drama, and negative effects for both the world’s economy and regional stability. All in all, we think that both sides can succeed in reaching a permanent settlement.”
