Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned that a war between Israel and Iran must be seen as a high possibility, amid ongoing regional crises, Paralel.Az reports citing Daily Sabah.

"We need to be prepared for this as a country and region," Fidan told a live broadcast Thursday, adding that Ankara does not want the war to expand across the region and has been working tirelessly to put an end to the conflicts that have devastated the Middle East in the past two decades.

Fidan also said Iran is entitled to self-defense in the face of attacks.
