From The New York Times:
Turkey’s defense ministry announced on Wednesday that a ballistic missile fired from Iran heading toward Turkish airspace had been shot down by NATO air defenses, threatening to pull more countries into the widening conflict in the Middle East.
The ministry did not say what the missile’s intended target was. An attack on Turkey, a NATO ally that shares a 300-mile border with Iran, would mark a dangerous escalation in Iran’s targeting of neighboring countries in retaliation for the attacks by the U.S. and Israel that began on Saturday. Hundreds of people in Iran and other regional countries have been killed in the fighting. The missile interception came as the United States, Israel, and Iran showed little sign of reaching an accord to end the fighting, as uncertainty hung over the direction of the Iranian leadership and the next steps in the U.S.-Israeli assault.
