Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi is expected to fly to Turkey on Wednesday for twice-delayed talks aimed at ironing out past differences and trying to halt the spread of the Israel-Gaza war. Raisi’s visit to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan comes with the war in Gaza starting to enflame tensions and escalate fighting across the Middle East. His planned talks in Ankara in early January were called off when twin blasts claimed by ISIS killed 89 people at the shrine of assassinated Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general Qassem Suleimani.
