Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan discussed the US-Iran peace talks with Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani by phone on Monday, Turkish diplomatic sources said. Fidan and Al Thani exchanged views on the first round of talks between the US and Iran, held in Switzerland.

Mediation efforts

The call reflects ongoing coordination between Türkiye and Qatar on the Iran‑US peace process. Both countries have been actively involved in supporting the diplomatic efforts that led to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. While Pakistan has served as the primary mediator, Türkiye and Qatar have provided political backing and engaged in parallel diplomatic initiatives. The two ministers have previously discussed the Iran‑US talks in April and May, maintaining regular contact throughout the negotiations.

Next steps

No further details were immediately provided about the call. The first round of talks in Switzerland concluded Sunday, with both sides continuing discussions on technical issues. Turkish officials have expressed cautious optimism about the process but have also warned against potential sabotage by Israel and other actors. Türkiye has offered to assist with mine‑clearing in the Strait of Hormuz and remains committed to supporting regional peace efforts.
