Turkish foreign minister says there should be no regime change in Iran Turkey's foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, has urged against regime change in Iran, amid efforts from the US and Israel to topple the regime. "There should be no questioning of Iran's territorial integrity, and no pursuit of regime change," Fidan said during a press conference in Turkey. The minister also warned against inciting a civil war by toppling the regime, saying, "We are against plans aimed at triggering a civil war in Iran and provoking conflicts along ethnic and religious fault lines." Fidan made the plea alongside his German counterpart, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul. Wadephul also urged a diplomatic end to the conflict, saying, "A reliable and sustainable solution can only be achieved through diplomatic channels, and that is why I believe... that we should pool our common interests from the Gulf region, but also here in the neighbourhood."
