Turkey Denies Plans for Invasion of Iran

Turkey has firmly denied reports claiming it is planning to enter Iranian territory in the event of a US attack. The Turkish Presidential Center for Combating Disinformation labeled the information as "disinformation" and urged the public not to give credence to unconfirmed reports. The denial followed a Bloomberg report detailing internal discussions in Ankara regarding potential security scenarios, including the creation of a safe zone within Iranian territory. The Turkish presidency clarified that measures taken at the border are routine security practices and are not linked to military operations abroad. Ankara seeks to clarify its position and dispel any concerns about its involvement in potential military actions in the region.
