Iran's Raisi to meet with Erdogan in Turkey to discuss ongoing Israel-Hamas war

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi will pay an official one-day visit to Turkey on Wednesday for talks focused on the regional repercussions of the Israel-Hamas war, a diplomatic source told AFP.

Raisi will meet Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the capital, Ankara, making a visit that was postponed twice - once in November and once earlier this month - because of spiraling tensions across the Middle East.

Iran's official news agency, IRNA, said Raisi would lead a "high-ranking political and economic delegation."
