Fidan stated in London that Turkey could participate in mine-clearing in the Strait of Hormuz if an Iran-US peace deal is reached.
He emphasized that any demining would involve a multinational technical team and that Turkey views such efforts as a humanitarian duty, but would reconsider if the coalition becomes involved in renewed conflict.
Fidan also expressed optimism that issues around Iran's nuclear programme could be resolved at the next round of talks in Pakistan, highlighting Turkey's diplomatic engagement in regional security.
