Iran, Iraq, and Turkey seek to prevent West Asia tension escalation

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held separate telephone discussions with his counterparts in Turkey and Iraq to address rising tensions in West Asia. During talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, both parties emphasized the necessity of preventing regional conflicts from escalating and stressed the importance of continued diplomatic efforts to maintain stability.

In a separate call with Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, the leaders discussed bilateral issues and regional developments, focusing on maintaining security and coordination within their shared border regions. Both nations underscored the importance of handling regional events responsibly to prevent conflict expansion.

Additionally, Iranian officials announced that Iran and Oman have reached an agreement regarding new entry and exit routes for the Strait of Hormuz. According to sources, the new entry route will be located entirely within Iranian territorial waters, and a portion of the exit route will also fall within Iranian waters. This new system is expected to lead to the closure of the current southern waterway route.
