Istanbul could serve as a favorable venue for negotiations to resolve the conflict between the United States and Iran.
The Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the Turkish Presidential Administration has released information regarding this proposal. According to the statement, Turkish authorities are prepared to assist in organizing the negotiation process if necessary and support efforts to reduce regional instability.
The agency noted that Ankara remains committed to fostering peace in the Middle East. The Turkish leadership emphasized that diplomatic channels must remain open to prevent further escalation, positioning Turkey as a strategic bridge between Western interests and regional powers. US President Donald Trump has previously signaled a willingness to engage in deal-making, and Turkey aims to facilitate this potential diplomatic breakthrough.
Turkey has a long-standing history of acting as a neutral mediator in regional conflicts due to its unique geographical position and membership in NATO. In recent years, Istanbul has hosted several high-level international summits and diplomatic talks, including grain export negotiations and regional security forums. This latest initiative aligns with Azerbaijan's neighbor's broader foreign policy goal of ensuring stability and security across the Middle East and the South Caucasus.
