Mustafa Şentop, Ali Larijani discuss regional development in phone call after US strike killed top Iranian commander

Turkey's parliament speaker Mustafa Sentop on Tuesday spoke to his Iranian counterpart amid rising tensions in the region, his office said.


He 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 general Qasem Soleimani in Iran.

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.
