ISTANBUL (AA) - The Turkish foreign and defense ministers, head of intelligence and chief of general staff met in Ankara to discuss situation after Israel's attacks on Iran on Friday, diplomatic sources said.
The meeting attended by Hakan Fidan, Yasar Guler, Ibrahim Kalin and Metin Gurak kicked off at 2.30 p.m. local time (1130 GMT), the sources said.
The meeting is focused on discussing the developments triggered by Israel's airstrikes and its potential repercussions, according to the sources.
Israel launched the large-scale attack on Iran earlier in the day, targeting the country's nuclear and military facilities. Several senior Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists were also killed in the strikes. The wave of strikes is said to have continued.
Iran vowed "severe punishment," and called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
