Turkey’s top diplomat urged Washington to start nuclear talks with Iran in an interview broadcast on Wednesday, as US warships arrived in the region ahead of a possible strike over Tehran’s protest crackdown.

“It’s wrong to attack Iran. It’s wrong to start the war again. Iran is ready to negotiate on the nuclear file again,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television in English.

“My advice has always been to our American friends: close the files one by one with the Iranians. Start with the nuclear issue and close it. Then move on to the others,” he said.

Fidan’s comments after a US naval strike force led by an aircraft carrier took up position in Middle Eastern waters, US Central Command said on Monday, without revealing its precise location.

Washington has not ruled out new military intervention against Tehran over its harsh response to the protests, which, according to rights groups, saw thousands of people killed within days.

Since Iran began its crackdown earlier this month, accompanied by a nationwide internet blackout, US President Donald Trump has given mixed signals on intervention.

NATO-member Turkey, which shares a 530-kilometre (330-mile) border with Iran, has often expressed opposition to military operations targeting the Islamic Republic.Last week, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the unrest in Iran as a “new test” for Tehran, pledging Turkey would “stand against any initiative” that would drag the region into chaos.He said he hoped diplomacy and dialogue would help Iran get through this “trap-filled period”.

Speaking to Al-Jazeera, Fidan said the problems with Iran should be tackled individually.

“Do not treat them as a package. If you put everything together as one package, it will be very difficult for our Iranian friends to digest and truly process it,” he said.

“In some cases, it may even seem humiliating for them. It would be hard to explain not only to themselves but also to their leadership.”

Fidan also urged Iran to build trust in the region.

“When I was in Iran two months ago, I was very frank with my Iranian friends. They need to build trust in the region,” he said.They need to pay attention to how they are perceived by regional countries”.

Gotocourt:
Everyone has seen what IRAN can do with it's nuclear weapons if allowed. They're not willing to let go🤷🏿.

Svoboda:
The US is being isolated by its Middle east allies. Saudi Arabia says it won't allow its territory to be used to launch war against Iran. Likewise the UAE. Now Turkey is asking for commonsense to prevail, yet the senile old fool is allowing his childish fantasies get the better of him. Has he forcefully seized Greenland yet like he bluffed he would do?

If the US couldn't defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan after twenty years, what makes you think it'd defeat the Islamic Republic? Even if Trump were to succeed in assassinating the Ayatollah, there are about 18 Ayatollahs lined sequentially to succeed him. Don't allow the western media twist your brain and spoonfeed you with propaganda. Go and independently study about Iran and its resilience, survival and victory over the US and it's allies for almost 50 years.

Absolutely No. Iran is not ready to negotiate. It's a normal delay tactic to further enrich their uranium and produce deadly weapons. I shudder when I see Nigerian supporting this evil regime. The existence of Boko Haram and ISIS is directly or indirectly traceable to this people. For this evil to persist in Nigeria definitely means their have intl backing. Iran cannot be exonerated. The earlier they are dealt with the better for global peace

Mirasteel:

fineboynl:
Already too late. Iran must be crushed.

Ghandifi made so much noise than what the supreme leader is currently doing. Behind the threats they are peeing in their pant.

Thousands of protesters already killed. That nuclear site must be destroyed and desolated. Even if another supreme leader emerged there economy is not doing any better and as long as the sanctions still remain in place it won’t be long until they throw white flag and olive branch.

Same fate to those that killed the endsars protesters
