AI Summary

short article 1 min

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that current conditions are not favorable for resuming US-Iran nuclear negotiations following recent US and Israeli attacks on Iran. Fidan believes Iran feels "betrayed" by these attacks, which occurred while negotiations were ongoing. Despite this, he suggests Iran remains open to backchannel diplomacy. Turkey, with its strong ties to both Washington and Tehran, had previously attempted to mediate between the two nations. Fidan, a close advisor to President Erdogan and former intelligence chief, is a key figure in shaping Turkey's Middle East policy. His comments highlight Turkey's efforts to navigate the escalating tensions in the region.
