Turkish, Iranian top diplomats discuss US-Iran talks in phone call

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke by phone with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, on Friday to review the latest developments in the ongoing negotiation process between Tehran and Washington, according to diplomatic sources. The two ministers exchanged views on the status of the talks, which have been mediated by Pakistan. A ceasefire in the US-Israeli war on Iran was brokered by Pakistan on April 8, followed by peace talks hosted in Islamabad. While the truce remains in place, efforts to achieve a permanent resolution have continued since.

Türkiye’s mediation role

Ankara has maintained active diplomatic engagement with both Iran and the US throughout the conflict. While Pakistan has taken the lead in mediation, Türkiye has offered its own good offices and hosted previous regional talks on Iran-related issues. Turkish officials have consistently called for a diplomatic solution and warned against further military escalation. This phone call is part of Türkiye’s broader effort to stay involved in the process and ensure that its interests—including energy security and regional stability—are addressed in any final agreement.
