Turkey May Consider Joining Mine Clearance Operations in the Strait of Hormuz After US-Iran Agreement

On April 25, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan 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. It is expected that a technical team will carry out the mine clearance work in the strait after an agreement is reached. Turkey views such operations as a humanitarian responsibility in principle and maintains a positive attitude. However, if this technical multinational coalition becomes involved in a new round of conflict in the future, Turkey will reassess its position. It is believed that issues related to Iran’s nuclear program can be resolved in the next round of talks to be held in Pakistan.
