Turkey Prepares Contingency Plan for Potential Iran-US Conflict

Turkey is taking measures and preparing a management plan to address a potential war between neighboring Iran and the United States, according to a diplomatic source. Turkey, a member of NATO and a neighbor of Iran, has stated that it opposes any military intervention against Iran and desires the destabilization of the region. Ankara is in contact with both sides to de-escalate tensions and has called for resolving differences through diplomacy. According to the source, all scenarios are being considered and steps are being developed to ensure the safety of Turkish citizens, but any action that would violate Iran’s sovereignty is “off the table.” No details were given about the measures Turkey is evaluating, however, the Turkish presidential office for combating disinformation denied reports that Turkey was planning to enter Iranian territory to intercept a potential influx of refugees.
