Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has called for dialogue to address the recent situation in Iran. During a phone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Fidan emphasized the need for discussions to ease regional tensions, according to a report citing an unnamed Turkish diplomatic source. The Anadolu news agency reported that Fidan highlighted the importance of preventing escalation through dialogue.

The call came as tensions rose following protests in Iran and threats of military intervention from former U.S. President Donald Trump. Turkish officials have reportedly been in contact with their American counterparts amid these developments. Earlier in the week, Fidan accused a foreign intelligence agency of orchestrating the protests, claiming that Israel’s Mossad was openly encouraging Iranians to rebel against their government through online platforms.

The Turkish foreign minister’s remarks reflect Ankara’s concern over regional instability and its preference for diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation.
