Turkey using all diplomatic tools to prevent attack on Iran, parliament speaker says

Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş has said that Ankara is deploying all available diplomatic channels to prevent a potential military attack on Iran, warning that the international system is undergoing profound transformation.

Speaking during a meeting with directors of media institutions in Istanbul, Kurtulmuş addressed regional and global developments, alongside discussions related to the parliamentary committee on “National Solidarity, Fraternity, and Democracy”, according to remarks reported by Russian media outlet RT.

He argued that the international order established after the end of the Cold War in 1991 is no longer sustainable, stating that the period of American hegemony has “effectively ended” with the emergence of new global powers such as China, India and Russia.

Kurtulmuş said these developments signal the transition towards a multipolar world order, adding that major shifts in global power balances have historically been accompanied by widespread conflicts.

He warned that the current phase carries serious risks, suggesting that rising tensions between democratic and authoritarian systems could shape the next stage of international relations.
