The Turkish foreign minister says he believes it will be possible to rework US-Iran peace proposals and find an “acceptable wording” that both sides can agree to, Al Jazeera reports.

Hakan Fidan says Turkiye and other regional countries, including Qatar, are working to support key mediator Pakistan.

“Sometimes during the mediation, the most difficult thing is [that] when you get stuck, you are in search of creative ideas. Sometimes, the parties cannot provide these ideas, sometimes the mediator cannot come up with a creative idea,” he tells Al Jazeera in an exclusive interview.

“So you need some outside partners, trusted partners,” he says, adding, “The regional countries are doing their best, actually, to provide some support to the ongoing process.”
