Turkey has delivered a stern message to Iran after it fired a second ballistic missile at the country, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says.
“The necessary warnings have been delivered to Iran,” says Erdogan after hosting an emergency cabinet meeting at his office in Ankara.
“Despite our repeated warnings, provocative steps continue to be taken against Turkey,” he says. “No action should be taken that casts a shadow over our thousand-year-old neighborly and brotherly bond.”
He says the missile fired today was intercepted and fell on open land. Iran also fired a missile into Turkish airspace on March 4.
“Our goal, first and foremost, is to keep our country away from this fire,” says Erdogan.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
