Proposed NATO defense shield in Turkey highly suspicious: Iran
TEHRAN, Oct. 26 (MNA) – A proposal by NATO to establish a new ballistic missile defense shield in Turkey is “seriously suspicious”, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday.
“We think NATO’s aim to deploy military forces in the region is seriously suspicious,’’ Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told .
Mehmanparast added, “We think the stationing of NATO military forces would disrupt security in the region.”
He went on to say that the regional countries are able to maintain their own security and “they have no need to foreigners”.
At a meeting last week, NATO members discussed a proposal presented by the United States to establish a new ballistic missile defense shield in Turkey.
Turkish officials say they will analyze and deliberate on all the possible outcomes and implications of the proposed plan before reaching a decision.
