During the call, Foreign Minister Fidan also extended the invitation to Ishaq Dar for the upcoming Antalya Diplomacy Forum later this month.
Earlier, Pakistan-mediated talks between the United States and Iran concluded in Islamabad after more than 21 hours of intensive negotiations, with all sides signalling that diplomatic engagement will continue.
US Vice President JD Vance said the discussions were substantive but fell short of a breakthrough, while indicating that Washington has put forward what it described as a final proposal.
“We’ve made very clear what our red lines are, what things we’re willing to accommodate them on, and what things we’re not willing to accommodate them on… and they have chosen not to accept our terms.”
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has also issued a series of posts on X following Pakistan-facilitated US–Iran talks in Islamabad, striking a cautiously constructive tone while reiterating deep mistrust shaped by past experiences.
In his message, Ghalibaf said Iran approached the negotiations with the intent to engage, but remained sceptical due to previous encounters with the United States.
“Before the negotiations, I emphasised that we have the necessary good faith and will, but due to the experiences of the two previous wars, we have no trust in the opposing side,” he wrote.
