Iran’s violations of Turkish airspace are unacceptable, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan tells his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi during a phone call, Turkish media reports.
Fidan warns that Ankara will take all measures necessary to protect Turkey, say Turkish Foreign Ministry sources.
Turkey, a NATO member, said yesterday that NATO air defenses shot down a second ballistic missile that was fired from Iran and had entered Turkish airspace.
According to Turkish sources, Araghchi insists during the call that the missiles did not come from Iran and that his country is investigating.
