Erdogan Urges Trump to Pursue Talks With Iran, Offers Support

The president of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan, called the president of the United States, Donald Trump, on the phone.

He asked Trump to keep talking with Iran instead of fighting.

Turkey wants the two countries to calm down and make peace.

Turkey is a big country that shares a border with Iran, so it cares a lot about what happens there.

Just before the call, an Iranian leader said Iran might get ready to fight more strongly.

That is because talks to end the war for good have not worked, and the United States said no to making the temporary ceasefire longer.

Ships carrying oil through the Strait of Hormuz are also still not moving again.

Erdogan and Trump also talked about the war in Gaza and a new defence agreement between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.

Turkey says it will keep helping with peace efforts.
