Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called for regional cooperation as U.S. President Donald Trump makes belligerent threats towards Iran and deploys military forces. “It’s wrong to start the war again,” he told Al Jzaeera in an interview reported Anadolu Agency. Fidan underlined that a diplomatic resolution remains achievable. “Iran is ready to negotiate a nuclear file again,” Fidan said.
Fidan cautioned U.S. officials to address issues with Iran incrementally, rather than seeking a comprehensive agreement. “My advice always to the American friends, close the files one by one with Iran. Start with nuclear, close it, then the others,” he said. “If you put them as a package, all of them, it will be very difficult for our Iranian friends to digest and to really process it and to go through this.”
