Erdogan warns Iran after missile enters Turkish airspace

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara has issued the necessary warnings to Tehran after Nato air defences shot down a second Iranian ballistic missile that entered Turkish airspace earlier on Friday.

Speaking after a cabinet meeting in Ankara, Erdogan said Tehran continues to take “wrong and provocative steps” during the US-Israeli war on Iran.

He said no action should damage Turkey’s “thousand-year neighbourly, brotherly ties” with Iran.

Erdogan added that Ankara will continue taking additional measures after deploying six F-16 fighter jets to northern Cyprus on Monday.
