Iran FM Araghchi discusses regional stability with Saudi, Turkish counterparts

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held separate telephone conversations with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Saturday evening, according to a statement from the Iranian foreign ministry.

The discussions covered bilateral issues, the latest regional situation, and diplomatic efforts aimed at establishing stability in the region. The talks also addressed efforts to remove the "imposed insecurity" in the Strait of Hormuz, which the statement attributed to aggressive U.S. actions.

No further details were immediately released by the Iranian foreign ministry. The statement did not specify the exact topics under bilateral issues or the outcomes of the discussions.

These calls come amid heightened tensions in the region, particularly concerning the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. The United States has recently increased its military presence in the area, which Iran has criticized as provocative.

According to the report by Mehr News Agency, the conversations were part of ongoing diplomatic engagements by Iran to address regional challenges and maintain communication with key regional partners.
