Turkish Foreign Minister: Türkiye May Consider Participating in Mine Clearance Operations in the Strait of Hormuz After US-Iran Deal

Odaily Planet Daily News: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that Türkiye could consider participating in mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz after a possible peace agreement between Iran and the United States. It is expected that after a US-Iran deal is reached, a technical team will carry out mine clearance work in the strait. Türkiye, in principle, views such operations as a humanitarian responsibility and holds a positive attitude. If this technical multinational coalition becomes a party in a new round of conflict in the future, Türkiye will reassess its stance. Fidan believes that issues related to Iran's nuclear program can be resolved in the next round of talks scheduled to be held in Pakistan. (Jin Shi)
