Rashomon: Iranian Ambassador Says Iran Has No Relation to the Missile Incident Shot Down in Turkey
On March 13, the Iranian ambassador to Ankara stated that Iran is unrelated to the missile incident shot down in Turkey and is awaiting the investigation results, suggesting that the missile launch by Iran might have been carried out by a third party.
Earlier that day, the Turkish Ministry of Defense stated that a ballistic missile from Iran was intercepted in the skies over Turkey.
"A ballistic missile launched from Iran, which entered Turkish airspace, has been destroyed by the NATO air defense system deployed in the eastern Mediterranean."
"We will take all necessary measures decisively and without hesitation against any act that threatens our territory and airspace. We are currently coordinating with relevant countries to investigate the full circumstances of the incident.
We are closely monitoring and assessing all developments in the region, and national security is the top priority."
