Iran has right to self-defence against Israel, says Erdogan

Jun 19, 2025

Tehran [Iran], June 19: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that neighbouring Iran has a right to self-defence in its conflict with Israel.
"It is entirely natural, legitimate, and a right for Iran to defend itself in the face of this state terror," Erdogan told his party members in Ankara.
Iran is under attack by "a reckless country that respects neither law, rules, nor principles," added Erdogan.
Israel started striking targets in Iran on Friday, saying the attacks aim to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran contends that its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes only.
Tehran called Israel's airstrikes a declaration of war and responded by launching hundreds of rockets and drones at Israeli territory.
