Turkey: Iran Nuclear Deal Closer Than Ever, Hormuz Strait Opening Top Priority

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has stated that the international consequences of closing the Strait of Hormuz, particularly concerning energy and food security, would be significant.
