Turkey Poised to Join Demining Efforts in Strait of Hormuz

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan expressed readiness for Turkey to join demining efforts in the Strait of Hormuz, contingent on a potential peace agreement between Iran and the United States. Fidan made this statement to reporters in London, highlighting Turkey's positive humanitarian outlook on such initiatives.

A technical team, composed of various countries, is expected to manage the mine-clearing operations should a peace deal be finalized. According to Fidan, Turkey sees no issue in participating under these conditions, demonstrating its willingness to contribute to regional stability.

Fidan emphasized that Turkey's involvement is dependent on the nature of the coalition, warning that they would reconsider if the group were drawn into further conflict. He also expressed optimism that concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program could be addressed in forthcoming talks in Pakistan.
