Turkey’s foreign minister raised concerns on Monday about Iran and the US proposing in their talks new regulations for transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and he said there are many difficulties around the idea of an international force overseeing re-opening the waterway.
Minister Hakan Fidan – who is in close touch with the United States, Iran and mediator Pakistan – said on state-owned Anadolu Agency that Hormuz should be opened through diplomacy, after weekend Iran-US talks failed to reach a deal to end the war.
