Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan emphasized the urgency of a U.S.-Iran agreement to prevent further regional escalation, pointing to ongoing diplomatic momentum following recent military tensions.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called for an agreement between Iran and the U.S., saying both sides have shown willingness to negotiate following weeks of military escalation.
Fidan also discussed growing NATO defense spending, with a consensus to raise it to 5% over the next decade. He warned the ceasefire between Iran and Israel—reached after 12 days of cross-border attacks—is fragile and could collapse if diplomacy stalls. He noted that U.S. strikes seriously damaged Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and said future talks should avoid unrealistic demands from either side.
Fidan underlined Türkiye’s readiness to mediate and noted that previous negotiation channels, like those in Oman, might be revived. He emphasized the complexity of the nuclear issue and said both sides must adopt creative approaches to bridge their differences. Despite mutual distrust, he said there's a real chance of a compromise if both nations focus strictly on nuclear matters.
