ISTANBUL – Following Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif’s recent visit to the Gulf states, the Islamic Republic’s charm offensive is set to continue with President Hassan Rouhani’s trip to Turkey early next month. Unlike the majority of Iran’s Arab neighbors, Turkey unequivocally welcomed the interim nuclear deal concluded last month between Iran and the P5+1 (the United Nations Security Council’s five permanent members and Germany).
伊斯坦布尔—继伊朗外交部长扎里夫（Javad Zarif）最近访问海湾国家后，总统鲁哈尼将在下个月访问土耳其，继续伊斯兰共和国的魅力攻势。与伊朗的大部分阿拉伯邻国不同，土耳其旗帜鲜明地欢迎上个月伊朗与P5+1（联合国安理会五大常任理事国加上德国）达成的临时和协议。但土耳其决策者强烈地感觉到，这一协议可能逆转中东地区脆弱的实力平衡。
