Foreign Minister Fidan Holds Phone Call with Iranian Counterpart Araghchi

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. According to Anadolu Agency, the conversation coincided with US President Donald Trump's statement characterizing Iran as "the world's number-one state sponsor of terrorism."

No details about the content of the call were disclosed; it can nonetheless be read against the backdrop of Turkey's established mediating role in regional crises. Ankara is maintaining an active diplomatic line with both Western and regional capitals amid Iran's nuclear negotiations and the broader instability gripping the Middle East.

Turkey and Iran, as neighbours sharing a border, maintain close ties on energy trade and regional security. Fidan's outreach to Araghchi at this critical juncture signals that Ankara is closely watching a potential escalation.
