Türkiye on Saturday called on "all parties" to end the spiral of violence initiated with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, and broadened with Tehran's retaliation against Gulf states and Israel.
"The events that began with Israel and the US attacking Iran, and continued with Iran targeting third countries, are of a nature that risks the future of our region and global stability," a foreign ministry statement said, urging "all parties to cease hostilities immediately".
For its part, India also called for diplomacy to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East on Saturday.
"We urge all sides to exercise restraint, avoid escalation, and prioritize the safety of civilians," the foreign ministry said in a statement, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned from a visit to Israel.
"Dialogue and diplomacy should be pursued... Sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected," it added.
