ANKARA, March 9 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Turkey remains on high alert amid escalating tensions in the region, warning that "provocative steps" could complicate Ankara's relations with Tehran.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting in Ankara, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that all relevant agencies are working in coordination and are on high alert to respond to the changing security situation. He added that the government's primary goal is to protect the country from the ongoing chaos in the region.
Earlier, a ballistic missile launched from Iran was intercepted over Turkey's southeastern Gaziantep province. The munition, which entered Turkish airspace, was neutralized by NATO air and missile defense assets deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean. Authorities confirmed there were no casualties.
"We are closely monitoring all developments with our experienced teams. We remain vigilant. Our goal is to keep our country out of this fire," the Turkish leader emphasized.
