Turkish President Erdogan on Iran:

Türkiye stands on the side of justice, fairness, international law, peace, and stability in the Iran crisis.

We support resolving conflicts through dialogue.

Turkish President Erdogan on Iran:

From the very first day, we have been engaged in intensive diplomatic efforts.

So far, we have held talks with 16 leaders in order to find a way out of the crisis before it escalates further.

U.S. officials intercepted an encrypted transmission believed to come from Iran that may be intended to activate sleeper agents outside the country, according to a federal alert sent to law enforcement.

The signal appeared shortly after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on Feb. 28.

Authorities say the message’s contents are unknown and there is no confirmed threat to a specific location, but agencies have been told to increase monitoring for suspicious radio activity.
