Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi discussed regional tensions and the latest developments in negotiations between Iran and the United States during a phone call on Sunday, according to Turkish Foreign Ministry sources. The two ministers reviewed developments that unfolded in the region earlier in the day and exchanged views on the current state of the Iran-US talks.
Israeli strike and Iranian response
The call came amid heightened regional tensions following an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s Dahiyeh district, which occurred despite an existing ceasefire. Iranian officials condemned the attack and said Tehran would respond. Earlier Sunday, the Iranian military announced it had targeted Israel’s Ramat David Air Base with ballistic missiles, describing the facility as a hub for Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
Türkiye’s mediation role
Ankara has maintained communication with both Tehran and Washington throughout the conflict. Turkey has supported Pakistani‑led mediation efforts while also conducting its own diplomatic outreach. Fidan’s call with Araghchi follows similar contacts with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Qatari mediators. Turkey has consistently called for an immediate ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a comprehensive agreement that addresses both nuclear and regional security issues.
