Türkiye's Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said talks between Iran and the United States are expected to continue and will take time to conclude due to the number of complex issues involved, while also linking a comprehensive agreement to free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Yilmaz, whose country has been supporting Pakistan's efforts to bring the sides together, told The Associated Press that he believes negotiations between Iran and the U.S. will continue.
He said there are many "complex issues" on the table in the negotiations.
"We would all like these talks to end all at once, in a very short time. But we need to be realistic. These comprehensive negotiations will take some time," Yilmaz said.
The vice president said that a comprehensive settlement between Iran and the U.S. would be a prerequisite for free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
"What is the root cause here? The ongoing war. Therefore, the end of this war will provide the greatest guarantee," he said.
Yilmaz said Türkiye has been supporting Pakistan's efforts to help bring Iran and the U.S. together as negotiations continue.
