Summary
Hakan Fidan and Abbas Araghchi spoke by phone on Thursday about regional developments and the ceasefire after the US-Iran peace arrangement unraveled.
Donald Trump said on Wednesday the June 17 Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding was "over," reviving direct military confrontation between Washington and Tehran.
US forces then struck Iran for a second straight day after Tehran targeted vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global energy supplies.
Iran has also insisted ships coordinate with its authorities and use only the route it designates through the strait, underscoring the wider regional and shipping risk.
