Turkey's Parliament Speaker Mustafa Şentop on Tuesday spoke with his Iranian counterpart amid rising tensions in the region, his office said.
Şentop discussed regional developments with Ali Larijani in a phone call after 35 mourners were killed and dozens injured in a stampede during the funeral for Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Soleimani, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' elite Quds Force, was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq last week.
Iran has vowed to avenge his death, as the world watches how this escalation unfolds.
Later, Şentop also held a phone call with his Iraqi counterpart Muhammad al-Halbusi, the office said.
The two speakers discussed recent developments and regional issues, the office added.
