Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has issued a strong warning to Iran over what Ankara described as an unacceptable violation of its airspace. According to Al Jazeera, Fidan delivered the warning during a phone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The Turkish National Defense Ministry reported that a ballistic missile was intercepted on Monday with support from NATO’s air defense system.

Following the interception, Fidan told his Iranian counterpart that Turkey would not hesitate to take all necessary measures to prevent further airspace violations. In response, Araghchi reiterated Iran’s position, denying that the missile was launched from Iranian territory and assuring a full investigation into the incident, according to related sources.

The report noted that this was the second missile incident targeting Turkey since the United States and Israel began military action against Iran on February 28.
