BRUSSELS

NATO on Wednesday condemned Iran's targeting of Türkiye and reaffirmed its unwavering support for all alliance members, a spokesperson told Anadolu.

"We condemn Iran’s targeting of Türkiye. NATO stands firmly with all Allies, including Türkiye, as Iran continues its indiscriminate attacks across the region," the spokesperson said.

"Our deterrence and defense posture remains strong across all domains, including when it comes to air and missile defense," she added.

Earlier, a ballistic munition fired from Iran toward Turkish airspace was intercepted and neutralized by NATO air and missile defense units in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Turkish Defense Ministry said.

The ministry said on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal that the projectile, detected after passing through Iraq and Syria, was successfully engaged by air defenses.
