Turkey seems to be trying to put out the fire that ignited in the Middle East after Iran attacked Israel with a drone.
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan communicated with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdolakhian, sending a message in this direction.
According to Turkish diplomatic sources, the Foreign Minister of Ankara pointed out that he does not want there to be a further escalation of tension. For its part, Tehran replied that it was an operation in response to Israel and that it does not intend to continue.

Newspaper titles are indicative
At the same time, this particular development is covered extensively in the Turkish media, as is everything that has been happening since Saturday night.
However, both the reporting that exists and the headlines in most media could be argued to be particularly careful.
Characteristics of what four historical publications reported on their front page
- Millet: “Historical development in M. Anatoli”
- Hurriet: “It also hit Iran”
- Sabah: “Retaliation from Iran to Israel”
- Turkiye: “Iran’s first attack”
The attitude of Britain against the background of Cyprus
If something is worth commenting on, it is the report by the Turkish media about the involvement of Great Britain in the interception of Iranian drones.
The reason for this probably has to do with the fact Israel received help from a British base in Southern Cyprus to prevent an Iranian attack.
