Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has expressed Turkiye’s readiness to assist the Islamic Republic of Iran in facilitating technical negotiations with the United States on the nuclear issue, his office announced Saturday.

According to an official statement, Erdogan told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi that Ankara was willing to contribute to diplomatic efforts, including through direct facilitation between the two sides.

“The president said that Turkiye was ready to make its contribution, including through facilitation, and that steps that will lead to diplomacy should be taken as soon as possible through technical and top-level talks between Iran and the US,” the statement read, adding that “Turkiye will continue to support initiatives in this regard.”

The remarks were made during a meeting between Erdogan and Araghchi held on the sidelines of the 51st session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), hosted in Istanbul.

Region 'cannot afford a new war'

Erdogan emphasized that the Middle East "cannot afford a new war," in reference to the growing regional tensions surrounding "Israel’s" military actions. He called for the Israeli regime "to be stopped immediately" and reiterated that diplomatic negotiations remain the only viable path for resolving the Iranian nuclear dispute.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a phone call with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, discussed the latest geopolitical developments, particularly after "Israel" launched its war against Iran.  

According to the Kremlin, both leaders condemned the Israeli occupation's aggression on Iran, stressing that the continuation of such assaults poses a significant threat to the region's security and stability.

The Turkish presidency noted that Erdogan described the situation as a "spiral of violence" initiated by Israeli attacks on Iranian territory, warning that it now represents a direct threat to regional peace. He called for an end to the war and the establishment of a foundation for renewed diplomatic engagement.

Separately, Erdogan spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, affirming Turkey's willingness to assume a facilitating role in halting the war and resuming nuclear negotiations at the earliest opportunity.

Iran to continue retaliation, power remains untapped

Iran will continue its military operations against the Israeli occupation regardless of whether Tel Aviv halts its strikes, the newly appointed Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, declared on Monday.

Pakpour, who succeeded the late General Hossein Salami following his martyrdom in recent Israeli strikes, emphasized that the Iranian response was far from over. “Even if the Israeli attacks stop, we will continue our mission to the end,” he asserted.

He added that the damage inflicted by Iranian strikes is far greater than what the Israeli regime has publicly acknowledged. “We have destroyed critical areas within the Israeli entity and will persist in our retaliation for their aggression,” Pakpour stated.

A senior advisor to the IRGC commander told Tasnim news agency that Iran has prepared for all possible scenarios and dismissed rumors suggesting that the Islamic Republic is running low on missile supplies.
