“We are currently discussing ideas with various regional participants that can be implemented in practice. I will not disclose details as discussions are ongoing,” he noted in a conversation with journalists.

The minister also emphasized that in order for the parties to return to negotiations, convincing arguments must be developed.

“I hope that the new leadership of Iran will be able to assess the current situation soberly and find ways to resume dialogue,” Fidan added.

Additionally, earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had a phone conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, during which the situation in the Middle East was discussed.

“During the conversation, issues on NATO's agenda were discussed, as well as current events both in the region and globally. The president emphasized that Turkey is closely monitoring the developments of the conflict in our region and believes that providing an opportunity for diplomacy is essential for achieving sustainable peace,” the president's office reported.

It is worth noting that on the fifth day, tensions in the Middle East continue to rise due to the military operation by Israel and the United States, dubbed “Lion's Roar.” Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated that military actions will continue until all set goals are achieved.
