Diplomacy has gained momentum in the ongoing war between the US-Israel and Iran. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan participated in a critical summit in Islamabad alongside Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

As the diplomatic traffic accelerates in the ongoing war between the US-Israel and Iran, Turkey has taken a central role in the process. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan participated in critical meetings held in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, alongside his counterparts from Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
PAKISTAN ASSUMED A MEDIATOR ROLE
During the meetings hosted by Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, the Islamabad administration's key mediator role in facilitating message traffic between the US and Iran came to the forefront. It was announced that Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif had a phone conversation lasting over an hour with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
CRITICAL STEP IN THE HORMUZ STRAIT
Ishaq Dar announced that Iran allowed 20 ships flying the Pakistani flag to pass through the Hormuz Strait. This decision, which allows the passage of two ships per day, is considered a critical development in terms of global energy and trade.
MINISTER FIDAN STOOD OUT IN DIPLOMATIC TRAFFIC
It was learned that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan played an active role in the discussions and emphasized the need for a diplomatic solution to reduce tensions. Turkey's initiatives to prevent the spread of the war drew attention.
"DIPLOMACY IS THE ONLY OPTION"
As tensions rise in the region due to Houthi attacks on Israel, the contacts in Islamabad are seen as a "critical opportunity for diplomacy and dialogue." German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul also stated that a direct meeting between the US and Iran could take place very soon in Pakistan.
ALL EYES ON ISLAMABAD
Experts express that any potential agreement emerging from the meetings could determine the course of the war, while the question of whether the US is pursuing a diplomatic solution or a strategy to buy time remains a prominent topic.
