“Iran and Turkey have summoned each other’s diplomats for discussions, officials said Tuesday, after Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan criticized Tehran’s policy of supporting militias in Syria and elsewhere. On Monday, a top aide to Iran’s foreign minister met with the Turkish ambassador to Tehran and emphasized the need to avoid ‘inappropriate remarks and unrealistic analyses that could lead to disputes and tensions in bilateral relations,’ according to an Iranian Foreign Ministry statement. The Iranian official, Mahmoud Heidari, also told the Turkish ambassador that Muslim countries should focus their efforts on halting Israel’s ‘crimes and aggressions’ in the Palestinian territories and Syria. Turkey reciprocated on Tuesday by inviting the Iranian charge d’affaires for discussions.” (03/04/25)
