Claims circulating on certain social media accounts, such as “Trump instructed Türkiye to attack Iran,” “Türkiye is part of a secret military plan against Iran,” and “Türkiye demanded the lifting of CAATSA sanctions in order to join the war against Iran,” are not true.
Türkiye, in its capacity as a sovereign and independent state, exercises its exclusive authority in formulating and implementing its foreign policy and security decisions. Discourse suggesting otherwise is entirely unfounded and driven by malicious intent. There is no situation in which Türkiye would engage in a war against Iran or present any conditions -including the lifting of CAATSA sanctions – for such a purpose.
The public is strongly advised not to lend credence to such content intended to manipulate public opinion.
