Araghchi, in response, denied Iranian responsibility, telling Fidan that the missiles detected heading toward Turkish territory were not launched by Iran and pledging that a thorough investigation into the incident would be conducted.

\n\n

The call comes two days after Turkey’s Defense Ministry announced it had shot down a ballistic munition over the Eastern Mediterranean. In a written statement, the ministry said the projectile was detected after transiting Iraqi and Syrian airspace and was intercepted by NATO air and missile defense assets deployed in the region before it could reach Turkish territory. Debris recovered in the Dörtyol district of Hatay province was identified as belonging to air defense munitions used in the interception.

The incident marked the second such episode in less than a week, heightening alarm in Ankara over missile activity near its southern border amid the broader conflict in the Middle East.

Turkey, a NATO member, hosts alliance air defense assets in its eastern and southern territories that have been on heightened alert since fighting in the region intensified. The back-to-back incidents have placed Ankara in a delicate position- seeking to safeguard its territory while managing its diplomatic relationships with Tehran at a moment of acute regional volatility.

\n\n

No casualties have been reported in connection with either missile incident.
