Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu paid a critical visit to Tehran amid discussions on probable sanctions to be imposed on Iran.
Davutoglu said Turkey could help revive a diplomatic solution to the dispute that would involve Iran sending some of its uranium abroad in exchange for higher grade fuel.
Urging the West, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said, "They had bitter experiences in their attacks on other countries, they better quit their defeat-ridden politics."
Davutoglu, who went to Tehran to share his impressions driven out of the Washington Nuclear Summit, met Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, on Tuesday.
The two foreign ministers held a joint-press conference in the Iranian capital.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki responded harshly a question on the attitude of the West.
Mottaki said, "They had bitter experiences in their attacks on other countries, they better quit their defeat-ridden politics."
Pointing out Israel, Mottaki said, "We can disarm even the countries which have nuclear weapons."
Iran has prudential approach to swap nuclear fuel out of its territory. It says it needs the higher-grade material to make medical isotopes and has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Within this framework, Turkey offers to mediate in Iran's nuclear standoff.
Davutodlu told the joint news conference with his Iranian counterpart, "If such a will exists from our Iranian friends and if they think it important that we play a role, we will do so,", adding, "Turkey, as a third country, is ready to play an intermediary role in the uranium swap and Iran's other nuclear issues."
Davutodlu said, "Turkey is a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. Topics that matter to Iran are also our concern. Our stance is clear. Every country has a right to have nuclear energy. However, we are against all nuclear weapons no matter who has them. It is a threat to humanity. Solution to the problem is not imposing sanctions but applying diplomacy".
Davutodlu then met Iranian President Ahmadinejad.
