Turkish-owned ships leave Gulf region safely, says transport minister
A total of 15 Turkish-owned vessels waiting in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf have safely left the region, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu has said.
The vessels, which departed as of June 26, were carrying 99 Turkish personnel, Uraloğlu said in a post on Turkish social media platform NSosyal.
The strategic waterway and the Gulf region had been affected by more than 100 days of disruption linked to clashes involving Iran, Israel and the United States.
Uraloğlu said Turkish authorities had monitored developments in the region from the beginning in coordination with all relevant institutions.
