Amid rising tensions between Iran and Israel, Turkey has reinforced security along its eastern border with Iran, a senior Turkish defense official confirmed on Thursday. Despite the volatile regional situation, Ankara reports no unusual increase in irregular migration from Iranian territory at this time.

The official, speaking anonymously in line with government protocol, stated that the enhanced security measures are part of Turkey’s broader strategy to maintain national readiness and regional stability.

“While the conflict between Iran and Israel escalates, we have not observed any significant movement of irregular migrants crossing from Iran into Turkish territory,” the source said.

As a precaution, Turkey has also heightened air surveillance. Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) fighter jets were scrambled following Israel’s recent military actions targeting Iran. These aircraft are currently conducting patrols along Turkey’s southeastern border to ensure there are no violations of Turkish airspace.

In parallel, Turkey continues to strengthen its domestic defense infrastructure. According to the official, the country is advancing its integrated air and missile defense systems using homegrown radar and weapons technology. This ongoing development aims to bolster Turkey’s air defense capabilities and maintain a high state of operational readiness.

The developments come as part of Turkey’s broader national defense posture in a region marked by shifting alliances and complex security challenges.
