Erdogan Backs U.S.-Iran Negotiations in Call With Pezeshkian

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed support for ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran during a telephone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The leaders discussed regional developments and emphasized the value of dialogue to reduce tensions and promote stability in the Middle East.

The call took place as Iran pursues additional diplomatic outreach. This follows recent U.S.-Iran talks held in Burgenstock, Switzerland. Pezeshkian traveled to Pakistan with Foreign Minister Araghchi for meetings with Pakistani officials on regional diplomacy, bilateral cooperation, and the status of the negotiations.

U.S. President Trump has voiced support for reaching a negotiated settlement with Iran. Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf separately stated that the security situation in the Strait of Hormuz has changed and will not return to its previous condition.

These steps form part of Iran's current diplomatic activities aimed at addressing regional issues through direct engagement with various parties.
