Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi discussed the Gaza situation and regional tensions in a recent phone call, emphasizing the need for enhanced bilateral cooperation. Araghchi, who recently took office following the death of his predecessor, condemned Israeli actions in Gaza and asserted Iran's right to respond to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Meanwhile, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty engaged with Araghchi regarding ongoing ceasefire negotiations and the necessity for all parties to de-escalate hostilities in the region. Both Iranian and Egyptian officials stressed the importance of diplomatic efforts to establish a ceasefire and facilitate humanitarian aid to Gaza. The situation remains precarious as discussions continue among mediators, including the US, Egypt, and Qatar. The diplomatic exchanges reflect a broader concern over the potential for regional conflict escalation.
