US EditionTurkish Foreign Minister Urges US to Resolve Iran Disputes Gradually
Turkey's foreign minister urged a diplomatic, step-by-step approach to US-Iran disputes starting with nuclear talks to avoid humiliating Iran and build regional trust.
- On Jan 28, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan urged the United States to resolve disputes with Iran 'one by one' and said Tehran was ready to start talks on its nuclear programme.
- A brutal crackdown earlier this month on Iranian protesters left thousands dead or arrested, prompting U.S. pressure with a naval strike group arriving in Middle East waters on Monday.
- Rejecting foreign intervention, Hakan Fidan, Turkish Foreign Minister, said a U.S. attack on Iran would be 'wrong' and urged regional cooperation as Washington builds up forces in the Middle East.
- Officials say Turkey stands ready to contribute to dialogue and to reinforce border defences along its 500‑kilometre frontier, having installed 203 electro‑optical towers, 43 lift towers, 380 kilometres of modular concrete wall, and 553 kilometres of trenches.
- Complicating diplomacy, Tehran insists on enrichment rights while the whereabouts of its highly enriched uranium remain unknown, and U.S. officials demand Iran curb missiles and end support for Hezbollah and Hamas.
