Fidan, Araghchi discuss regional issues, ceasefire status

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan (R) and his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi held a phone call Thursday to exchange views on regional developments and the ceasefire situation. The discussion follows renewed US strikes on Iran and the collapse of a Pakistan-brokered agreement, underscoring Türkiye's continued mediation efforts.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a telephone conversation Thursday to discuss regional developments and the current status of ceasefire efforts, according to Turkish Foreign Ministry sources. The two ministers exchanged views on "the latest developments in the region and the situation regarding the ceasefire," sources said. No additional details about the call were provided.

Regional escalation and collapsed agreement

The call comes amid renewed US military strikes on Iran for a second consecutive day, following Tehran's targeting of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has insisted that ships coordinate with its authorities before transiting the strategic waterway and has rejected passage through routes other than the one it has designated. On June 17, Iran and the US reached a Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding aimed at ending their military conflict. However, US President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the agreement was "over," effectively triggering a fresh round of hostilities.
