Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said that Turkiye could consider taking part in demining operations in the Strait of Hormuz following a possible peace agreement between Iran and the United States, Reuters reports.

Fidan, speaking to reporters in London last evening, said a technical team was expected to carry out mine-clearing work in the strait after any agreement, adding that Turkiye viewed such efforts positively in principle as a humanitarian duty.

Fidan said any demining work would be carried out by a technical team from various countries, formed after a possible Iran-US peace agreement.

Turkiye would have “no problem” with participating in mine-clearing operations under those conditions.
