The media reported on Turkey's desire to join the demining of the Strait of Hormuz

Turkey is considering the possibility of participating in an international operation to clear the Strait of Hormuz, but only after reaching a peace agreement between the United States and Iran. This was stated by Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan at a meeting with journalists in London, Al Jazeera TV reports.

According to the Turkish Foreign Minister, the mine clearance work will be carried out by a technical team, which may include representatives of different states. Turkey, as Fidan noted, does not exclude its participation in this initiative.
