NATO said it shot down a second ballistic missile fired from Iran in Turkish airspace on Monday, prompting a stern warning from Turkey to Tehran not to take “provocative steps”.
NATO forces have intercepted an Iranian missile heading to Türkiye for the second time in less than a week, as US-Israeli strikes on Iran throw the wider Middle East into conflict.
The Turkish and Iranian presidents spoke by telephone after the second such incident over NATO member Turkey in five days, according to Iranian media. Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian offered to set up a joint inquiry.
The missile was reported just after the United States urged all American citizens to leave southeastern Turkey, where US troops are stationed at several bases. (AFP)
