Turkey deploys US Patriot missiles amid Iran threats

0:00I'm Corey, and this is your Pulse of the World, Global News Today. Turkey has announced the deployment of a United States Patriot Air Defense System to its Southeast region in Malatia Province. This move bolsters NATO defenses near the Coretic radar base amid rising missile threats tied to the war involving Iran. The radar base recently provided key data that spotted two Iranian ballistic missiles heading toward Turkey last week. Turkey was ramping up air protection as a direct response to these incidents. Iran insists it is not at war with neighbors by Turkey and denies any deliberate targeting. Turkish leaders warned Tehran against further launches, and the two presidents held talks on Monday to address the tensions. Turkey's Defense Ministry confirmed the Patriot will help safeguard airspace alongside national efforts. The country already hosts one Patriot battery from Spain as part of ongoing NATO support. Turkey plans to keep monitoring the region and working closely with alliance partners.
