In a post shared on the DMM's social media account, it was stated: "Posts appearing on some social media accounts and disinformation-focused outlets claiming that 'Turkey has supplied advanced anti-aircraft and UAV missiles to Iran, and that a US F-15 fighter jet, which was allegedly shot down, was hit by a Turkish-made shoulder-fired anti-aircraft system' are completely baseless and do not reflect the truth.
Such unrealistic claims, the source of which can be guessed, are intentional psychological warfare attacks and black propaganda attempts aimed at undermining Turkey's constructive role in regional crises and its efforts focused on peace and diplomacy."
The statement, which noted that Turkey maintains a stance to protect peace and stability in the region, continued: "Turkey maintains a stance based on the protection of peace and stability in all processes in the region.
These perception operations, which target our country's globally appreciated diplomatic success, aim to mislead the international public.
Such activities of spreading dirty information, which aim to manipulate public opinion and target sensitive balances in the region, should not be given any credit.
It is of great importance to be cautious against speculative statements from non-official sources."
