US EditionTurkey Seeks to Facilitate US-Iran Talks by Week’s End to Ease Tensions
Turkey aims to organize US-Iran talks by week’s end to revive nuclear negotiations and reduce conflict risks amid rising military threats, officials said.
- On February 6, 2026, Turkey offered to host talks between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to ease tensions.
- The deadly protest crackdown, with at least 6,848 killed, prompted heightened U.S. pressure as a U.S. naval strike group arrived in Middle East waters amid President Donald Trump's `Massive armada` threats.
- Neither Washington nor Tehran has yet confirmed participation, and the exact site remains undecided, Turkish sources say, with talks possibly outside Istanbul.
- A successful meeting would aim to avert U.S. strikes and a wider regional war, as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned any U.S. strike would spark conflict and Iranian officials including Abbas Araghchi show mixed readiness and openness.
- Past talks were interrupted by the June 13 attacks, complicating revival, while Turkey is assessing border security and the European Union’s listing of the Guard adds diplomatic pressure.
