Turkey Considers Role in Strait of Hormuz Mine Clearance

Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has stated that Turkey may consider participating in mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz following a potential peace agreement between Iran and the United States. According to Odaily, a technical team is expected to carry out the mine clearance work in the strait once the agreement is reached. Turkey views such actions as a humanitarian responsibility and maintains a positive stance. However, if this technical multinational alliance becomes a party to a new conflict, Turkey will reassess its position. Issues related to Iran's nuclear program are anticipated to be addressed in the next round of talks in Pakistan.
