Iran has engaged in various diplomatic efforts to manage its regional and international relations. In late August 2026, the Iranian Ambassador to Turkmenistan indicated support for a potential meeting between President Masoud Pezeshkian and Russian President Vladimir Putin, potentially occurring in October in Turkmenistan.

By mid-September 2026, diplomatic focus shifted toward the Persian Gulf. President Pezeshkian reported a constructive exchange with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled, signaling a mutual desire between Iran and the United Arab Emirates to improve bilateral relations. During this period, Oman also postponed a planned meeting between Iran and other Persian Gulf nations to facilitate better conditions for dialogue, following Bahrain’s decision not to attend the scheduled talks.
