In a message on X welcoming the last-minute accord, Erdogan said: “We hope that the ceasefire will be fully implemented on the ground without giving any opportunity for possible provocations and sabotage.”

Turkey, while a fierce critic of Israel, had joined diplomatic efforts with Egypt and Pakistan to reach a ceasefire in the conflict.

Turkey has meanwhile sent three trucks of medical aid to Iran, Health Minister Kemal Memisoglu announced.

The minister said on X that he wanted to “heal the wounds” of the “oppressed”.
