Donald Trump's threats against Iran
Last Friday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan assured Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian in a telephone conversation that Ankara could play the role of a mediator in the Iran-US conflict. On the same day, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi visited Turkey.
