Ankara. US President Donald Trump has said that another aircraft carrier has headed towards Iran. Due to which the fear of American attack on Iran has increased. America’s first aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has already reached the Gulf of Oman and entered the Middle East there. After this, there is an atmosphere of chaos in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have issued statements announcing a ban on the use of their airspace in an attack on Iran. Now Türkiye is working on a plan to create a buffer zone in case the government falls in Iran.
This information has been given quoting sources from the top official of Iran Foreign Ministry. It states that if the worst happens and the government in Tehran falls, then Turkey is planning to create a buffer zone on the Iranian side of the border. The Foreign Ministry, quoting two senior officials familiar with the matter, has said that on Thursday, top officials of the Turkish Foreign Ministry held a closed-door meeting in the Parliament. In this meeting, the MPs were briefed and told that Ankara is preparing for many possible situations regarding Iran.
An official present at this briefing said that Turkish officials fear that if Iran is attacked, then a large wave of refugees could move towards their country. Turkish officials want to make plans in advance to manage that wave. Turkish officials have used the term buffer zone for this. Although the second person did not use the word buffer zone, he expressed a willingness to go beyond normal measures. That official has said that every possible effort should be made by Iran to ensure that if migration takes place, it should take place on their own land.
Turkey’s Defense Ministry said earlier this month that Ankara had strengthened security along its 560 km border with Iran through a physical barrier system enhanced by a technology. Turkey has built 203 electro-optical towers and 43 elevator-equipped towers, a 380 km long modular concrete wall and 553 km long defensive trenches to stop refugees from Iran. Türkiye’s Defense Ministry said border areas are being monitored around the clock with spying and surveillance systems including drones and aircraft.
Turkish media reports said that during the briefing, Turkish officials told lawmakers that more than 4,000 Iranian citizens have been killed during violent protests against the government earlier this month, while more than 20,000 protesters are seriously injured. Turkish officials have told lawmakers that the Iranian government has used excessive force to crush crowds of protesters and that the internet has been completely shut down in the country for more than two weeks.

Middle East Eye quoted Gulf officials as saying that the US is working on a plan to launch precision strikes on senior Iranian officials and commanders, whom it holds responsible for the deaths of protesters.
