Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan to discuss the stalled United States–Iran nuclear negotiations, ongoing regional tensions, and the broader situation in the Middle East. The discussion focused on maintaining regional stability and exploring ways to reduce escalating tensions.

Diplomatic sources indicated that the talks between the United States and Iran have effectively reached a standstill in recent times. Against this backdrop, both foreign ministers exchanged views on measures to preserve stability in the region. Turkey has been actively working behind the scenes to help end ongoing conflicts while also strengthening security along its border with Iran.

Ankara fears that further deterioration of the situation could trigger a large-scale refugee influx across the border. Observers note that Turkey’s diplomatic engagement amid rising instability in the Middle East could play a significant role in maintaining regional balance.
