ANKARA, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Turkey's foreign minister on Wednesday urged the U.S. to resolve its disputes with Iran "one by one" instead of through a sweeping deal, saying this would avoid humiliating Iranian officials,

Turkey will offer to mediate between Washington and Tehran when Iran's foreign minister visits Friday, officials said, as Ankara mulls reinforcing security along its border should the dispute escalate.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said that the success of diplomacy with the United States hinged on ending threatening conduct after Washington’s heavy military deployments in the Gulf.

U.S. allies and partners in the Middle East again are urging restraint from both the United States and Iran as the Trump administration warns of a possible strike and builds up its military presence in the region.

Iran’s top diplomat is visiting Turkey on Thursday for talks aimed at averting a US strike, as President Donald Trump ramps up threats of military action against Tehran.

While US leader is open to a phone conversation with Iran to ease tensions, Pezeshkian has yet to respond, officials say

Turkey steps in as US and Iran trade threats, with Trump warning of tougher strikes and Tehran signalling openness to talks.
