But whether it was intercepted yet, what exactly, what type of missile, ballistic missile, it's totally unclear at the moment. Well, I mean, today Turkish officials have been claiming that it was not a target, the first, the morning missile was not targeting Turkey. All pro-government journalists and commentators were saying that, well, Iran does not attack Turkey.
And Iranian ambassador to Ankara was invited to call to foreign minister's office. And I think they gave him notice. If this is the second one, and there is a tendency among Turks, well, that maybe Israel is simply doing these things to put Turkey into a war.
And there was claim. And these are not just a conspiracy theory claim. That's the mainstream pro-government media was reporting.
So all these indicate that Turkey certainly wanted to simply stay away from war. But it appears that, well, Iran doesn't care if that's the case. And today, Turkish minister of defense statement, when you read it from Turkey, it was very soft-toned statement.
There was almost no warning to Iran. There was no call for Iran to stop doing this. And they were only saying that we are prepared to defend.
But there was no, you know, tough tone against Iran. Probably, if this is the case, and we will see tomorrow what they are going to come up with. In addition, I wanted to just remind you guys, Turkey informed Iran back in January that the United States is preparing for Kurds to simply have them cross into Iran to conduct land operations.
And Turkey was, in fact, trying hard to keep the relations well with Iran. So it is totally a surprise for me if Iran simply continues to do this. Let me check if I can find any news updates on Turkish media.
Well, so far, they haven't disappointed in terms of trying to expand the countries that they're attacking and grow the number of enemies that are facing them. So their strategy is crazy, but they're doing it. The report I saw was just like a few minutes ago, right as we were crashing.
