Turkey debates nuclear deterrence amid Iran conflict

Original: Turkey discusses nuclear deterrence amid Iran war — Cyprus Mail

Turkey has reportedly opened discussions on nuclear deterrence as the war involving Iran continues, according to Cyprus Mail. The debate reflects growing unease among regional states about security guarantees and the risk of nuclear escalation in the Middle East. Turkey, a NATO member that does not possess nuclear weapons, has long faced questions over whether it should pursue its own deterrent capability, and the current conflict has brought those arguments back to the fore.

Why now: The Iran war has revived debate in Turkey about whether the country needs its own nuclear deterrent.
