Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's visit to Turkey has been postponed, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news reported on Tuesday, without elaborating on the reason. 

"The trip was scheduled to take place on Wednesday but it has been postponed to another date," Tasnim said. 

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said earlier this month that Raisi would visit Turkey at the end of November to hold talks on Gaza.
