Turkey Reacts to Possibility of Entering Iranian Territory in Case of a U.S. Attack
According to Rokna, the Turkish government described media reports about Ankara’s readiness for military action in Iranian territory in the event of a U.S. attack as “incorrect” and emphasized that the country is committed to respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of its neighbors.

As reported by Anadolu Agency, Turkish officials on Tuesday stated that claims published in some media outlets suggesting Ankara intends to enter Iranian territory for security reasons are not true.

The Directorate of Communications of the Turkish Presidency also rejected these reports, stating: “Turkey, both under normal circumstances and during periods of crisis, takes necessary measures around the clock to ensure the security of its borders.”

This authority urged the public not to pay attention to unverified news and to rely solely on official statements from competent authorities.

Rumors of Turkey Planning to Enter Iranian Territory in Case of a Power Vacuum

Turkey Reacts2

It is worth noting that on Tuesday, some foreign media reported that Turkish authorities are updating their emergency plans to address potential consequences of a possible U.S. attack on Iran.

According to the report, Ankara’s main concern is the potential influx of a large wave of refugees into Turkish territory in the event of war or the collapse of the Iranian government, as Turkey is already hosting several million refugees and would find it very difficult to accommodate a new wave of displaced persons.

In this context, it was reported that the considered options include establishing refugee camps at border points or even entering Iranian territory if the Iranian government collapses and a power vacuum emerges, solely as emergency measures to prevent refugees from crossing into Turkey.
