Iran Press/Asia: In an interview with NTV, US Ambassador to Ankara David Satterfield warned Turkey that it would face "serious consequences" if the second part of the S-400 air defense system was purchased.
Since 2019, the purchase of the S-400 air system has caused a crisis in Turkish-American relations. Washington has demanded that Turkey should refuse a deal with Russia and instead buy American Patriot systems.
Washington has threatened to suspend or cancel the sale of its latest F-35 fighter jets to Turkey or impose sanctions under the CAATSA Sanctions Act if Turkey buys the S-400. However, Turkey refused to back down and continued talks on receiving the second shipment of S-400. 219
