Iran informed Turkey last week, before its strike on Israel, of “the options” for retaliation, according to a Turkish diplomatic source. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan then informed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken about Iran's potential actions.
The Turkish source stated that the developments were not unexpected as Iran had given prior notice of its options. Discussions about possible developments took place during the conversation between Fidan and Blinken. The American side, through Turkey, advised Iran to keep its response within certain boundaries.
