Head of Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) Ibrahim Kalin has commented on a planned meeting between US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei in Qatar, APA reports, citing the Türkiye newspaper.
Kalin stated that the meeting, scheduled to take place in Doha next week, could be an important opportunity to achieve progress in negotiations between the United States and Iran.
Speaking at a conference titled "The Search for a New Regional Social Contract in the Middle East" in Ankara, Kalin noted that diplomatic contacts between the United States and Iran are continuing and that negotiations have reached a decisive stage.
According to him, Türkiye and other regional mediators are working on a seven-point agreement between the parties.
Under the proposed plan, sanctions against Iran would be lifted and its frozen assets released. In return, Tehran would commit to not acquiring nuclear weapons, begin negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and lift the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Kalin stated that the main disagreement between the parties concerns who should take the first step.
The MIT chief warned that the United States could launch another strike against Iran if no agreement is reached. He emphasized that the next few days could be decisive for the outcome of the negotiations.
Kalin also stated that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had called on US President Donald Trump during a phone conversation not to launch another military operation against Iran.
