Turkey May Join Hormuz Strait Demining Operation After U.S.-Iran Peace Deal, Foreign Minister Says

Gate News message, April 25 — Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Turkey could consider participating in demining operations in the Strait of Hormuz if the United States and Iran reach a peace agreement.

A technical team would conduct the demining work in the strait following any agreement, Fidan stated. Turkey views such operations as a humanitarian responsibility and maintains a positive stance on participation in principle.

Turkey would reassess its position if the technical coalition becomes a party to future conflict. Fidan also expressed confidence that issues related to Iran’s nuclear program can be resolved in upcoming talks to be held in Pakistan.
