Turkey has repeatedly stated its intention to launch an operation in Syria's Tal Rifaat and Manbij and has continued to carry out drone strikes in northern Syria.

Despite this, Iran, Russia and the United States have continued to oppose a new Turkish offensive.

However, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Thursday said that Turkey doesn’t need any permission to carry out cross-border operations, Turkey’s Daily Sabah reported.
