Fidan said he spoke by phone with Araghchi to review the latest status of the ongoing negotiation process. In a post on X, the Turkish foreign minister said Türkiye "will continue to strive for the end of conflicts in our region and the establishment of lasting peace."

Separately, Pakistani Chief of General Staff General Asim Munir also spoke with Araghchi by phone.

According to a statement from the Iranian foreign minister's official social media account, the two discussed regional matters as well as the possible consequences of what they described as "the U.S.'s aggressive and destabilizing initiatives" and the risk of further escalation of tensions in the region.
