Erdogan spoke with Iranian President Pezeshkian: Turkey will support negotiations

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a phone conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. According to information conveyed by Reuters and confirmed by Turkey's Presidential Communications Directorate, Erdogan explicitly stated during the call that Turkey will continue to support the negotiation process ongoing with Iran.

The timing of the conversation drew attention as it occurred during a critical phase of nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran. Turkey is among the rare countries that, as a NATO member, simultaneously maintains deep economic and diplomatic relations with Iran; this position gives Ankara a unique mediator role in regional crises.

Detailed content of the conversation remained limited to official statements from both sides; no additional information was shared. Nevertheless, the contact between Erdogan and Pezeshkian is assessed as carrying the character of a joint diplomatic message toward regional stability during a period of heightened tensions.
